Breaking Canaan's Curse: The Great Faith of the Gentile Woman

Buy from retailer

Can a curse spoken over your ancestors still be speaking over you — and can it be broken by a single word of faith?

In Matthew 15 and Mark 7, a woman from the region of Tyre and Sidon comes crying after Jesus — not by her name, but by her nation's oldest wound. She is a Canaanite, a descendant of the very people cursed in Genesis nine, and by every social rule of the moment, she has no claim on him at all.

Breaking Canaan's Curse examines what her faith actually accomplished: not just healing for her daughter, but a redefinition of who belongs at the table, delivered by the only person in the Gospels whose faith Jesus calls “great.”
