You must read this book! As Autumn Miles bares her soul and secrets, she also creatively and powerfully uses the story of Rahab to show the redemption, restoration, and adoration the Lord has for his sweet beloved. I Am Rahab is truly for those who think that their sins are too great to be cleansed, their mistakes are too awful to be forgiven, and their brokenness is too immense to be healed. Any victimin or out of the horrors of sex trafficking or any kind of abusewill be able to relate to the timely words in this book. Through these pages they, too, will soon realize that the fierce and redemptive love of God for the broken is bigger than any hurt, pain, or mistake theyve made, and that God can use any circumstance for his good!

Autumn Miles has a heart for the Lord and for people. One thing I love about her is that she is good at saying the things that need to be said for the good of her brothers and sisters in Christ and for the glory of God. She has a story and a message that exude hope and the faithfulness of the Lord.

I Am Rahab is one of the most in-depth looks at the beautiful story of redemption through the eyes of one of the most unlikelyRahab. This powerful book reminds us that Gods grace is unchanging, unwavering, and unflinching. Autumn Miles takes us on a remarkable journey, making it clear to each of us that the cross does have the final word.

I am is a powerful, empowering declaration. I am is the name God chooses to reveal his character, and as Gods image bearers it is the essence of who we are. Through sin and pain and abuse, the Enemy seeks to steal and kill and destroy our sense of the I amand the I am sense of ourselves. Autumn Miles shares her journey back to I am and invites the reader to do the same by listening, searching Gods Word, and responding in obedience. I Am Rahab reveals the path toward redemption and joy, which God offers to us all. For those in darkness, this is light. For those in pain, this is balm.

What is your Jericho? What is holding you back? Do you feel that your past determines your future? This book digs into the life of Rahab and unwraps how God will unlock your past to promote your future. Autumn Miles writes with extraordinary transparency about her sinful past, and with timeless wisdom she shares how God used every hurt in her life as an opportunity. Autumn is a master storyteller and clearly a voice to this generation! I Am Rahab will demand a second reading to get out all that God has put in!
