Synopsis

Rahab is an adventurous girl who enjoys playing with her siblings in the city of Jericho. Growing up, she makes a lot of bad choices, then desperately wants to change her life. When two Israelite spies come to Rahab's door, she bravely offers them a place to hide. Then God gives her a great idea to help them escape, and the spies agree to protect her and her family once Israel takes over Jericho. And when that day finally comes, God keeps His promise to Rahab because of her faithfulness and courage, even making her a relative to Jesus. With God's help, you can be just like Rahab—called and courageous.

Enjoyable enough to keep listening to, but not an attention keeper. The main character is sort of a narcissist idiot to begin with, and near the end, actually start to give a damn about other people. Narrator does a great job with the various characters' voices and the entire storyline.......more

Simple, but great fantasy companion story. Good laughs here and there. Really enjoyed the characters and their quirks. They complimented each other's characters traits.

Goodreads review by Andy on October 02, 2024

TL;DR Review: Ridiculous and hilarious, action-packed and heartfelt. Full Review: I was not prepared for just how much fun I had reading this book! At the beginning, Danny the washed-up rockstar playing Friday night gigs for soccer moms at some dive bar does not seem your typical hero. Even when he’s......more

Goodreads review by Stephen on December 28, 2024

It was a night like any other: Danny was on the stage at a dive bar, very nearly earning his keep but ruining it by digging at customers who got on his nerves. Then, one of them decided to teach Danny a lesson, and…..he wakes up in a medieval-fantasy realm, where evidently he and all those around hi......more
