Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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?

Book excerpt: This is a story of the Igbo Diaspora in America. It is a story of the cultural conflicts that often arise when an Igbo youth falls in love with, and wants to marry, a non-Igbo. Okocha Anigbo, one of the two sons of Chief Nat and Lolo Ekemma Anigbo, meets and falls in love with an American girl, Tatiana Karefa, the daughter of Edna and Philip Karefa, a jovial and unapologetic Baptist. But Chief Anigbo, a well-respected Igbo community leader and vocal opponent of cross-cultural marriages, is bitterly and implacably opposed to his sons plan to marry the American girl. Entreaties from his son, and even from one of the respected elders of the Igbo community, Chikezie Odogwu, fail to persuade him to change his position. For his part, Okocha sees the traditional and cultural underpinnings relating to the institution of marriage among the Igbo as a veritable Wall of Jericho that needs to be breached, to let the Igbo youth freely marry from outside the Igbo clan. In the teeth of Chief Anigbos opposition, but with the blessing of Philip Karefa, Okocha and Tatiana marry. The denouement comes with the birth of their child.

The friendship between David and Tucker continues until Tucker returns from Illinois with a wife of his own, Algeria Wedge.

Book excerpt: 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

Download or read book The Great Great Wall written by Ian Volner and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Timely and highly readable . . . provides a valuable backdrop to Donald Trump’s insistence on a barrier across America’s southern border.” —Robert Dallek, presidential historian During his campaign for the presidency, one of Donald Trump’s signature promises was that he would build a “great great wall” on the border between the US and Mexico, and Mexico was going to pay for it. Now, with only a few prototype segments erected, the wall is the 2,000-mile, multibillion-dollar elephant in the room of contemporary American life. In The Great Great Wall, architectural historian and critic Ian Volner takes a fascinating look at the barriers that we have built over millennia. Traveling far afield, to China, the Middle East, Europe, and along the U.S. Mexico border, Volner examines famous, contentious, and illuminating structures, and explores key questions: Why do we build walls? What do they reveal about human history? What happens after they go up? With special attention to Trump’s wall and the walls that exist along the US border already, this is an absorbing, smart, and timely book on an incredibly contentious and newsworthy topic. “A work of literary alchemy that transmutes the wall, a simple architectural structure, and of late, political metaphor, into a prism through which to view the panorama of human history . . . this book will amaze, delight, and enchant even the most jaded nonfiction aficionado.” —William J. Bernstein, award-winning author of The Delusions of Crowds “A global journey to some of history’s most significant walls—China, Berlin, and even Jericho—weaving together a fascinating account of their foundational myths and current realities.” —Carrie Gibson, author of El Norte

Arrogant and secretive, Wolfe is researching the cold-case disappearance of reclusive millionaire Morgan Tyler Bell from his secluded private island off the South Carolina coast. Adding to the mystery, Bell's personal assistant vanished as well. But what has Bay's investigative antennae quivering is the apparent suicide at the time of Bell's longtime housekeeper. After viewing the scene inside the millionaire's abandoned mansion on Jericho Cay, Bay isn't so sure she should've taken the case. Bay's husband and new employee is hot to pursue the inquiry. A former sheriff's deputy, Red would like nothing better than to solve the one case his old boss has never been able to close. But as Wolfe's behavior becomes more and more bizarre, Bay is torn between her desire to earn her hefty fee and her fear that something much more sinister is going on just below the surface. Is Bell dead or alive? And who is the elusive man in the red baseball cap who just may hold the answers to all her questions? While dealing with another tragedy that strikes at the heart of her family, Bay Tanner must dig beneath the lies and evasions that threaten all she holds dear—and her own life as well. Jericho Cay is filled with Southern charm and local color, making it a terrific addition to Kathryn R. Wall's sultry Lowcountry series, one of the most absorbing on bookshelves today.
