“I love historically correct biblical stories and this was a great one!! It made the story of the march around Jericho and the events leading up to it come alive. We have an unlikely hero who is surprised by what he is doing, yet allows God to use him to fulfill God’s purpose in his life. His life and faith are changed forever. Jericho is written with great biblical accuracy, yet the author takes artistic license where she can and adds great depth and personalities to the story. After reading ‘Jericho’ I went back and read the story from the Bible. It was like reading it for the first time. Gwen Chermack has written a winner!” ~Amazon reader Stormy2882
“I’m a sucker for historical bible novels. I like to see if the story line matches up with what I know. They also give me insight about things I might not have considered. I started this book and didn’t put it down until I finished it. Really did like it. The marching around Jericho and the how and why made me almost see it in my minds eye. Very good read.” ~Amazon reader Glenna A. Bogue
“This book is a well written story about what might have happened leading up to the march and resulting destruction of the walled city of Jericho. The author conveys the details of the biblical account in a way that keeps the reader’s interest and curiosity piqued.” ~Amazon reader Mildred J. Lambert
“This book takes a story from the Bible and weaves an entire fictional story around the two main characters, Simeon and Rahab. As a history teacher and avid reader, this book was not only Biblically accurate, but a real enjoyment to read. Chermack draws her readers in by allowing us to imagine what these Biblical figures were feeling and thinking as they followed the will of God for their lives. I think all Christians often question themselves as they pursue God’s plan for their lives. I would definitely recommend this to my students and my friends. My own ten year old has started reading it as well.” ~Amazon reader History Teacher
“I am talking about Jericho, A Historical Novel…it is so refreshing to find an adventure story that is also Biblically accurate. Your writing style suits me well, too. I rarely finish books, I lose interest. With yours though, one of my first thoughts of the day is “How can I carve out the most time from my day to read my new book”?” ~Amazon reader Geoff
