"The story of Rahab has fascinated Bible students and lay persons for centuries. Her story appears in the book of Joshua after God commissions Joshua to lead the Israelites after the death of Moses. Yet no sooner do the people come to the edge of the Promised Land than God puts the whole drama on hold to tell us the story of a Canaanite prostitute. This interruption of the conquest story is not an accident, and it gives us our first glimpse into the theological significance of Rahab's story. When we come to the New Testament, Rahab holds a surprisingly prominent position in several key faith passages-as well as being listed in the lineage of Christ! In fact, she marries a prince! The prostitute marries a prince! This is the stuff of Hollywood movies and romance novels. The heartbeat of the Bible is God's passionate pursuit of His adulterous Bride-a theme that echoes within the depths of every human heart. But the best part? Rahab's story is our story. It's a story centered on three key themes, without which there would be no Bible, no gospel, and no Savior: faith, grace, and salvation. Here is a woman who witnessed no miracles, knew none of God's laws. She merely heard of God's power-and believed. Through her daring faith, Rahab hid enemy spies, defied her king, risked her life, and found the living God. By the time you finish this study, you will never look at the story of Rahab the same way again"--

"If God can choose the Canaanite Tamar to continue the line through whom Christ would come, can anything keep Him from weaving your story into His redemptive plan? Tamar, daughter-in-law of Judah, is the first woman listed in the lineage of Christ. Mistreated, widowed twice, betrayed, and used as a prostitute . . . it seems impossible that God could redeem her story, but His plan of redemption was written from eternity past-and nothing can get in His way. Through this six-week, in-depth Bible study, you will discover that no matter life's twists and turns or your sins and failures, there is a God working behind the seen, redeeming it all for His glory"--
