My thoughts on Love’s Rescue: 

I love the WWII time period.  It’s full of history and so much mystery.  My husband actually reenacts the Canadian Parachute Battalion and I have accompanied him to a few events.  Something like this is always fun and brings such a great love of history and new understanding as well.

The story of Rahab in the Bible has always been an interesting one to me because there are not many women heroes discussed.  And here is not only a woman hero but one who was a prostitute!  Talk about an interesting Bible story.  I was intrigued when I signed up to review this book knowing that it was taking Rahab and making it into a WWII story.

I have not read anything by this author before and love how I keep meeting wonderful new authors with these book reviews.  This author is no exception.  Her book read quickly and well.  There were no starts and stops that left you wondering who was who and what had just happened.  It flowed well and keep me interested.  Even though I knew the story of Rahab I still found myself wondering what might happen.  

The premise of the story is two Americans are sent on a spy mission into Paris to get reconnaissance on the town and where the Germans are.  Both speak German so they should be able to make this work.  Right?  Or wrong?  Upon arriving in the city they seem to be blending well until a woman of ill repute calls them out for what they are.  Spies. 

She does this in a kind and quiet way offering them shelter and safety.  Will they trust her? 

Rolande has everything to lose.  She chose to stay behind when she could have gotten out of the city because she believes her work as a spy and part of the resistance mean something.  Now she puts herself out there even more and on the line to save two men.  Why?  Because God has told her to.  

She’s a new Christian but she’s sure this is God talking to her.  Can she come out of this alive if she trusts God?  Will He truly use her to ensure these men remain alive? 

Read to book to find out more!  Great read and highly recommended.

Dear Reader:

Love’s Rescue is a modern retelling of the biblical book of Rahab. I set the story in Paris during the last weeks of the German occupation of France during WWII. While researching the book, I read numerous memoirs and interviews of folks who lived through the occupation. Two aspects discussed time and time again were rationing and the difficulty in getting food. People with any amount of land at all planted produce to supplement the meager rationing they received.

Here is a simple recipe for Ratatouille:

Ingredients

1 whole white onion

1 large eggplant

1 large zucchini

1 bell pepper

2 medium tomatoes

2 large cloves garlic

2 sprigs thyme

2 T Olive oil

Salt & Pepper

Instructions

• Peel garlic cloves. Smash with the end of a knife, then cut into small dice.
• Cut onions, bell pepper, and tomatoes into a medium dice.
• Chop the eggplant and zucchini into 1” cubes.
• In a large saucepan or pot, warm olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Warm over low heat. Add the onion to the pot and cook until tender – about five minutes.
• Next, add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
• Add remaining vegetables to the pot.
• And now add a generous pinch of salt and a light pinch of pepper.
• Add the thyme.
• Cover the saucepan or pot with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for approximately 40 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender and there is little liquid in the pot.
• Serve on your favorite platter.

Bon Appétit!
