The Edge of Promise is a compilation of three stories about the well-known biblical characters Aaron, Moses, and Rahab. Situated in history after the Exodus from Egypt and before entering the Promised Land, the Israelites were at first poised for greatness and at last ready for the conquest of Canaan. But the Bible gives no detail about the in-between forty years (wilderness wandering between Numbers 19-20). As with my full-length novels, I enjoy writing about the common folk—a name mentioned once or a character merely alluded to in the Bible. The main characters of Aaron’s Wife, The Shepherd Boy, and Rahab’s Sister, are NOT Aaron, Moses, and Rahab. The central figures in these stories emerge from the shadows of Scripture or the margins of historical research. In Aaron’s Wife, Elisheba teeters on the edge of faith when her husband and sons must risk their lives to serve Israel’s fiercely holy God in His Tabernacle. In The Shepherd Boy, Lemuel is perched on the edge of love. In Rahab’s Sister, Gera hovers on the edge of hope. As you read Elisheba’s, Lemuel’s, and Gera’s stories of struggle on the edges of faith, hope, and love, I pray you’ll find courage and strength to stand at the edge of each precipice in your life journey and trust the One who calls you to take that next step.
