Every week I look forward to learning more about these amazing women of the Bible. Thank you so much for putting your heart and soul into this podcast. You had mentioned a love story written about Rahab….well search no longer. Francine Rivers wrote a series about the women in the lineage of Christ. There are a total of five books. Looking forward to future episodes. God bless!
