Unashamed by Francine Rivers

Rahab. Just an harlot. but she was one of the five woman mentioned in Jesus lineage. What a line for a king. This is an amazing book.

"The Lord didn't save our people because we were worthy. look how our fathers and mothers turned away from God!....no we are not worthy. only the lord is righteous. no other but the Lord is worthy of praise." 91

"you must learn to be patient. God doesn't need our help." 62

"be careful not to add to what the Lord has said, Salmon. you must align yourself with the will of God-not the desires of your own heart." 61

I love how Francine Rivers makes a whole story from these woman who are only mentioned briefly in the bible and makes it into a whole book. it really makes you think more about these woman and what they might have gone through. who the hatred some of the jews may have felt towards Rahab. How it would feel to be in the city when the wall fell down. Jesus lineage sure is unique. It shows how God can use anyone who is willing, and who turns from their ways and serves God.
