This is one of my favourite stories in the Bible. Inspite of how she is described she was an amazing woman. Her story is proof that nomatter what we were God can still work with us. She is one of only 5 women listed in the genealogy of the son of God. What a testament to her great faith.
Ever wondered why the 2 spies went to Jericho - really? After all they were useless at their job. Within a few minutes of entering the gate they were knowen to the king. I am sure that they only went to Jericho to save Rahab and she by her faith saved her whole household.
Here are the internet resources I found to help in telling the story of Rahab.

Song
I like the song for remembering the name of Rahab. (this was found on a few sites)

There was a girl God used for good and Rahab was her name-oR-A-H-A-B, R-A-H-A-B,R-A-H-A-B and Rahab was her name-o.
