Obviously, my views on this book are different from those of other critics. I read this article very hard, I put it within the first 100 pages. I later took it back, but skipped another 100 pages to see if the ending was more of a concern for me than before - this is amazing! So I decided to divide the comment into two parts - the first 150 pages and the last 150 pages. [To be fair, I did go back to the skipped pages and read them so I could write an honest comment.]
The first 150 pages - I chose this book because I like the cover very much. Absolutely amazing! But I was looking forward to deeper and sharper things from the beginning, I just couldn't feel it, so I put the book down. I continued reading other books and decided to choose the book again, but skip a few hundred pages to see if the ending is better. I am very happy that I did this because I like the second half of the book. Here's my first half question: When she was convinced of prostitution, I didn't feel the struggle or fear of Rahab. In my opinion, she just accepted it as a lot of things in life. I didn't feel any strong emotions or dislikes in her family - none of them came forward for her or made a fuss about the whole situation? true? Not a sister or a brother? nobody? Maybe they should be disconnected emotionally, but it doesn't feel real to me.
I also want to feel the horror and panic of the first "experience" of Rahab and men. Take a moment to imagine what it feels like. Her heart beats from the chest, resentment, thoughts...and then just dismissed all of them and removed them from the book, or worse, included the entire experience in a section of the author's choice. Such disappointment and missed opportunities. I want to see her progress from an inexperienced girl to a professional woman that night. I want to see what more Rahab talks about in the second half of the book is in the first half of the book. Remember, it's not bloody details, but more than I get. Tessa Afshar could have included more.
Now you may say to yourself "What kind of sick puppy wants to write the inner feelings and emotions of a prostitute, so that the whole world can't see it?" Give you two words - Francine River. Francine Rivers' Redeeming Love is based on Hosea's story as a wife, a book that I judge all other Christian novels. In my opinion, she is the standard and the queen. [If you haven't read "Save Love", where have you been? Go buy now. I'm serious. Don't waste a minute reading this blog before you order "Redeem Love", then you can come back and finish This article. Have you done it? Ok, now you can continue reading...] Francine Rivers takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride from Angel [Gomer], where Rahab's mood doesn't seem to exist until the end Book. The only thing I can think of is that the author and/or the publisher feel uncomfortable with the original, avant-garde emotions of "save love", which could have been presented in "Pearls on the Beach".
The second part of the book - I really like the second half of the book. The two lovers must learn from each other in order to make their relationship work, which can be answered by today's 1,000 modern women. Statistics show that very few women have lived without being traumatized, which makes them feel guilty, restrained and injured. Therefore, few men can help their spouses overcome these problems and live the life God has for them. This beautiful line made me fall in love with Salmone and the second half of the book:
"Because he is the warrior of God on the wall of Jericho, he will become a warrior of God, leaning against the wall of his precious wife. He will show the same obedience, the same patience and persistence, as well as unwavering The determination to defeat his wife in the battle with the city of Canaan. The soldiers on his body smiled."
This part of the book seems more realistic to me. It reminds me of the tutorial I attended. I think this book can help women understand how much harm is being healed and how to help the marriage recover, and eventually the two sides fully recover to God. Then there is the metaphor of pearls. This is a wonderful and beautiful example of God's love for us, but this is all I can say. You must read this book.
I don't know why it is impossible to start more like a tough reality of ending. The bottom line for me is that this book missed a huge opportunity. There is more emotion and depth in the beginning, it may be closer to "redempting love" and may even be close to Christian classics. It may be unfair to compare the two books, but I can't help it because of similar themes. "Pearl in the sand" is not "redemptive love", but I recommend you read it anyway.
