Pearl in the Sand

Since getting my Nook (yes, I finally gave in), I've discovered the wonderful world of Netgalley.com. Through them I can get galley copies of ebooks that are either new releases or soon to be released. The first book that I read this way was Pearl in the Sand.
Pearl in the Sand is a book that I received free from netgalley.com in exchange for my honest review. I actually read this one as an ebook. for free It is a fictionalized account of the story of Rahab and the fall of Jericho. It also includes the story of what might have happened after Jericho and how Rahab ended up as part of the lineage of Jesus. This story is based on Biblical fact, obviously with artistic license taken. Although I had guessed the ultimate ending partway into the book I still enjoyed the way that the story unfolded. There were many good lessons and the writing seemed genuine and true. I'll be on the lookout for more books by this author.
