Pearl In The Sand A Novel
by Tessa Afshar · 2010
Can a Canaanite harlot who made her living enticing men be a fitting wife for a leader of Israel? Shockingly, the Bible’s answer is yes. Rahab’s home is built into a wall, a wall that fortifies and protects the City of Jericho. However, other walls surround her too, walls of fear, rejection, and unworthiness… Years of pain and betrayal have wounded Rahab’s heart—she doubts whether her dreams of experiencing true love will ever come true… A woman with a wrecked past—a man of success, of faith... of pride. A marriage only God would conceive! Through the heartaches of a stormy relationship, Rahab and Salmone learn the true source of one another’s worth and find healing in God.

Katherine Weda — 4.75/5
I've read this book at least twice, but apparently it never made its way onto my virtual shelf. Afshar beautifully depicted how an all-powerful God can love us—despite our sins—and use any situation to His glory.
