This book was unexpectedly hilarious, heartwarming and convicting in many ways.
I didn't expect to be so captivated but I definitely was.
One thing I love about biblical fiction is that it helps me humanise the people we read about in Scripture and it helps me answer questions I've had on certain people in the bible.
Pearl In The Sand is no exception. It helped me understand why the commander of Heavens Armies said he is neither for Israel or against it.
It helped me think about Salmone and who he could have possibly been in history. What was he like? How did he act? How did he end up marrying Rahab? All fun rabbit trails only made possible because of this book.
My faith in The Lord has strengthened because of the hope and faith Rahab had in God which inspires my own hope and faith in Him.
There's so much more I could talk about but I think I'll leave that for YouTube 😅
All I'm going to say is I'm in love with Joshua the Son of Nun
