Rahab

“I’m always on the lookout for Shadia’s newest Bible study. Each one is packed with rich insights, historical detail, and valuable life lessons. Shadia’s expert scholarship combined with relevant personal experiences challenge me and help me grow deeper in my faith.”

—Francine Rivers, international best-selling author

“Insightful and rich in cultural details, Shadia Hrichi’s new Bible study on Rahab takes the reader on a deep and meaningful journey. Because of it, I have a fresh understanding of the God who saves. Highly recommended.”

"Pick up this study of Rahab and feel like you’re sitting with a friend over coffee discussing what you’re learning about the God who loves you. Over and over in this study, we see that Rahab’s story is our story. It’s the story of God pursuing his beloved people—us—with grace and persistence. With a much deeper dive into this woman in the lineage of Christ, Shadia challenges us to take our faith deeper with a relentlessly faithful God. She reminds us that no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, is outside of God’s tender love. Just like he did with Rahab, God extends a rescue cord to each of us."

—Jennifer Crosswhite, author of the best-selling Christian romantic suspense Protective Custody

"Shadia Hrichi once again brings hope and challenge in a thrilling look at the life of Rahab. No matter your past or upbringing, Rahab teaches us what it means to trust, and walk, in faith with the unseen God, and how He can transform the seemingly insignificant into heroes of eternity."

—Tara Johnson, author of Engraved on the Heart, Where Dandelions Bloom, and All Through the Night

"In Rahab, Shadia Hrichi explores details many of us have skimmed over for years—details that make a difference in how we read, understand, apply, and share Scripture as we eagerly await the day of Christ’s return. Leading at a steady pace that encourages reflection, Shadia reveals how God uses a woman who might otherwise seem irrelevant. I enjoy how Shadia examines the stories of God’s interactions with people who are often discarded or discredited as she teaches the foundational truths of Scripture in relevant and exciting ways. I can hardly wait to join Shadia on her next adventure through Scripture!”

—Xochitl Dixon, contributing writer for Our Daily Bread and God Hears Her; author of the 2021 ECPA Christian Book Award Children’s Book Finalist, Different Like Me, and Waiting for God

“As she has done in her other outstanding Bible studies, Shadia Hrichi, in Rahab, has brought to life the story of a fascinating woman whose courage and faith in God transformed her own life and changed history. This book reveals God’s surprising ways of accomplishing his purposes through people we might least expect. Who could have imagined that Rahab, a prostitute and woman without power or influence, would be able, through her belief in God, to save her family from destruction and end up in the ancestral line of Jesus? This Bible study goes in depth, putting Rahab’s story in the context of the larger biblical narrative. Through the book’s questions and exercises, readers in group or individually will be able to probe this amazing story’s meaning and its relevance to their own lives and faith. Hrichi challenges her readers to live lives of courage and faith, and her book helps guide them in that direction.”
