Meet Sandy McDermott – the Author
McKenzie’s Jericho
McKenzie’s Jericho is a book from my heart. I felt inspired to write this novel – after spending most of my life in the rural Northeast Ohio farming community near Middlefield. I have lived, socialized and worked among people of different lifestyles and cultures and have been aware of the many misconceptions and predjudices between the different groups of people.
I wanted to be a Christian Ambassador, so to speak, in a role to help break down the barriers and the walls that divide us. After we all learn to really KNOW each other, and LEARN of our differing lifestyles, maybe we can learn to love each other as our dear Lord Jesus commanded.
After all, we are to regard each other even higher than ourselves (Philippines 2:3). Love each other with heartfelt passion as for a sister or a brother, a father or a mother. No greater love has any man than to lay down his life for a friend (John 15:13). That means physically and emotionally. True love does not discriminate amongst races, cultures or lifestyles.
McKenzie’s Jericho is a celebration of God’s love for ALL of us!
“…Love each other, as I have loved you….” (John 13:34 NIV)
Who Is My Neighbor?
God always has a plan. He specializes in taking the worst of things and using them for His good. That’s what happens in the Amish country of northeast Ohio when multi-millionaire Tony Sandini buys the former McKenzie farm and builds a Country Estate.
As neighbors of different lifestyles watch each other from a distance, prejudices grow out of ignorance. But God intervenes in epic proportions, as only He can, causing interaction and learning as they recover from catastrophe.
McKenzie’s Jericho is a story of Salvation and of breaking down walls, the kind that can be seen and the kind that cannot be seen, as neighborly dependence brings about a community that could only come from God.
Master story teller Sandy McDermott weaves through the lives of her characters, bringing them to life in this heart-warming thriller of healing through God’s love. Both “English” and “Amish” families learn just what God can do when given a chance.
One warning – McKenzie’s Jericho is a spellbinding book. You will not want to put this book down until you finish it!
"A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
(John 13:34 NIV)
