Set in 1957, Jericho Walls is an unforgettable and inspiring novel about the power of friendship for a young girl growing up amid racism. "I woke early that first Sunday in Jericho. The sun was barely a stain in the sky, but the air was hot and clammy. My nightgown stuck to my skin. I padded to the bathroom and splashed my face with cold water. My stomach clenched in a queasy ball . . . I'd keep myself out of trouble in Jericho, I promised myself. I'd do all the right things and make lots of good friends and no one would care a whit about my being a preacher's daughter." Jo Clawson isn't the boy her father wanted, and she's not the "young lady" her neighbors expect of the preacher's daughter, either. But even though Jo doesn't always meet the expectations of the people around her, she still longs to fit in. When she and her family leave their northern home for the small southern town of Jericho, Alabama, Jo might finally stop picking fights and settle in right. But when Jo befriends a young black boy, she discovers that "fitting in" is about a lot more than proper manners or a smart outfit. Suddenly she's faced with a new set of questions that call up her own values. Maybe some fights are worth picking, after all.

"Lawyer Ralph Merritt buys a house in a white neighborhood bordering Harlem. In their reactions to Merrit and to one another, Fisher's characters—including the prejudiced Miss Cramp, who "takes on causes the way sticky tape picks up lint," Merrit's housekeeper Linda, and Shine, his piano mover—provide an invaluable view of the social and philosophical milieu of the times. Thematically, Fisher focuses on the idea of black unity and the discovery of the self. The biblical tale of Joshua is evoked to illustrate his concern for the black person's search for a "true nature." it is in this spiritual battle that the divergent segments of Harlem are drawn together in order to battle the "establishment" inside the walls of Jericho"--Publisher's description (a later edition).

Do you feel stuck? Is there one area of your life that just won’t change, no matter how hard you work, believe, and cry out to the Lord? When the enemy holds ground in one part of our life, it tends to consume most of our thoughts. That one area can cost us emotional health, quality relationships, and even the ability to enjoy life. But we don’t have to put up with it. It’s time to fight back! Fasting is God’s secret weapon against the enemy’s strongholds. Jesus even said that some evil spirits cannot be cast out except by prayer and fasting. That should tell us a lot about the power of this weapon—it’s basically God’s nuclear option. The Jericho Fast guides readers through a 7-day fast to achieve breakthrough for the stubborn areas of their lives. Minister and author Rhoda Faye Diehl expertly imparts wisdom and biblical truth throughout the book to help you overcome lies used by the enemy to erect walls in your life. She also provides strong encouragement and exhortation to help readers complete the fast and make it through to their victory. Are you ready for breakthrough? Are you ready for the walls to come down? Let’s go!

This true story was first introduced to the world stage on A & E's Cold Case Files. Now, Nancy Cherbeyla tells her emotional story of the tragic life she shared with her sister and her own story of survival, healing and hope since losing Sally. "On March 10, 1978, seven paragraphs in the Battle Creek Enquirer reported a six-year-old girl found dead in the bathtub at her home. It appeared to Battle Creek police that Sally Ann Chesebro drowned while playing with a toy. Her mother and stepfather said it was a tragic accident. It was so much more. "A quarter of a century later, the horrific events in that house began to surface as the Calhoun County Cold Case Homicide Team was able to gather evidence that supported a story of abuse, rape and murder. That was the story Sally?s sister, Nancy, told investigators. "Nancy was a year older, just seven at the time of her sister?s death. She and Sally lived in a house where they were beaten and frequently placed in a tub of icy water as punishment. ?It could be for anything, even looking at them wrong,? Nancy said. It was punishment dispensed by the mother and stepfather of the girls. That cold-water punishment was sometimes five or six times a week. "Sally?s final sadistic punishment was for opening a bottle of nail polish. She was beaten, forced into a tub of icy water, and held under by her parents until she died. Her stepfather and mother took Nancy to Sally?s grave and told Nancy she was the reason Sally died. "While seven year old Nancy Chesebro could not save her sister?s life, adult Nancy Spaulding did all she could to find justice for Sally?s murder. Nancy confronted her nightmarish childhood, her mother, and stepfather, and told police, prosecutors, and a jury what happened inside the house at 54 Jericho Road the night her sister died. "This is the story of one woman?s love for her sister, of her efforts to tell the world the truth about what happened, and why Sally Ann Chesebro died. It is a story of how one sister kept her promise and fought for justice." Trace Christenson

Every reader can connect to the themes of this book. In Dancing Around Jericho's Walls, I present three phases we face, when we deal with a crisis. First, there is Sunset, when hope is lost. Then, there is The Darkest Hour, when our senses see the darkness but our faith knows light is coming. Finally, there is Sunrise. In this book, I study each phase through the eyes of 10 Bible examples, such as Moses facing Pharaoh, Joshua facing Jericho, Jonah facing the whale, the hungry facing Christ, the apostles facing threats to their lives, and more. In each phase, you will feel their struggle and identify with their conflict, as you step with them toward Sunrise. Included is also MANY quotes from Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Hellen Keller, J. P. Morgan, Charles Schwab, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and John F Kennedy.
