Rahab The life story of Rahab is one that is unique. Her story is found in Joshua 2:9-13 and Joshua 6:17-25. She was a woman who was a prostitute. She lived in Jericho, which was the Promised Land and assisted the Israelites in Capturing the City. She is lauded as an example of living by faith while being justified by her works. In Joshua 2:1 When the Hebrews were encamped at Shittim in the Jordan Valley opposite Jericho, ready to cross the river ,we find out that Joshua sends secretly two spies…

There’s No Place like Oz Caroline lived in the midst of the great North Carolina piedmont with Jamie, who was her mother, and Alex, who was her older brother. Their house was made of brick, and sat upon a tall, grassy hill overlooking the road below that no one ever drove on. When Caroline stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray small town on every side. Neither a Starbucks nor a Forever 21 broke the broad sweep of mountainous country that…

are many land formations and I chose these three. The first one is a canyon, it’s located in Arizona and its name is Grand Canyon. The second one is a volcano it’s found in Washington State, Cascade Range and it is named Mount St. Helens.

Both Joshua and Moses encountered God in awesome ways. When they did they were told to remove their sandals because the ground they were standing on was “holy ground”. But what made that ground holy? Was it holy before this encounter? Or did it become holy only because of this encounter? Is the ground still…

The republicans consisted of the workers, the trade unions, the socialists and the peasants whilst the nationalists consisted of monarchists, landowners, employers, and the Roman catholic church.

Throughout Dorothy’s journey in Oz, she killed both of the Wicked Witches, and brought peace to the land. The Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion’s job is simply to maintain this peace. each of these characters, however, possess differing characteristics, so it would therefore…
