From Harlot to Hero: a fictionalized account of Rahab Book

From Harlot to Hero, is a modern adaptation of an Old Testament biblical character meant to entertain and offer insight into one young woman's life and personal encounter with God. This is a fictional work but the text, Joshua 2:1:24, that it was drawn from is not fiction. The Old Testament characters are real people and their existence, etched in history, are models left for us to glean knowledge. Their lives, struggles, pain, failures and victories, are written for us in the somewhat story book format, I believe, for our benefit, so that we will be able to understand and receive the lessons that their lives portray.

Miss Rahab is an excellent example, of those in the beginning stages of their faith walk. She was a woman cocooned between defensive walls, her own and those erected to protect the city. She was the young woman who the two spies went to for sanctuary during their assignment in spying out the land (v. 1 of Joshua 2). They would soon be sent to conquer this territory, by a direct edict from God, and their interaction enlightens her spiritually, secures them physically, and guarantees the success of their eventual invasion. Her fledging steps of faith, not only assisted in their mission to tear down the walls of Jericho, but it began the process that tore down her defenses, and delivered her into a life as a child of God.
