What readers are saying about Reaching Rahab

“Guilt–free, refreshing, captivating, and real!”

Rick Wulfestieg, founding Executive Director of Foursquare Media

“Rahab is the story, Barney the interpreter, and a lifetime of personal experiences are the inspiration to find freedom in life’s journey to find your own unique path in fulfilling our one great purpose: to love God and to love people toward him.”

Randy Finkbeiner, missionary to KwaMhlanga, South Africa

“Barney’s evangelism flows out of a brokenness that helps him to relate to people as a friend, a fellow learner and one who can relate with empathy in people’s personal journey…”

Tim Svoboda, YWAM San Francisco Bay Area Coordinator
