Out of the ashes of the
Holocaust, a magnificent novel of indomitable courage and
hope. Ellie, a young American photojournalist, finds herself
in the Jerusalem of 1947. She unwittingly becomes a pawn in
a political chess game when she photographs some ancient scrolls
discovered by Bedouins. David seems to love her dearly, but
Moshe has a purpose and commitment in life that intrigues
her more than she can say. Through it all, Ellie discovers
a people, a spirit and a person who profoundly change the
direction of her life. This first book in THE ZION CHRONICLES
vividly portrays the intense struggle of the Jewish people
in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the forces, within and
without, which engulf the Middle East in conflict and controversy
even today.(c) Amazon.com
This was THE series that
first opened the door into Christian Historical Fiction for
me!!!! I found it to be life-changing in many ways. These
books gave me a profound respect and empathy for God's chosen,
the Jewish People. It gave me facts and context for the horrendous
experiences people went through during the second World War.
The Thoenes are masterful writers who will have you hooked
from page one. I definitely suggest everyone read these books!!
Be aware that your emotions will surge through many phases
and some of the storylines are quite gruesome! I LOVED this
series!!!!!!!

The nation was gripped in
a life-and-death struggle for survival. No less momentous
was Rachel's own personal struggle- The Gates of Zion vividly
portrayed both the indomitable courage and hope of the Jewish
people streaming into Israel after the Holocaust as well as
their intense battle to protect their new homeland. The sequel,
A Daughter of Zion, centers around a returning Jewess named
Rachel who survived the Nazi desolation, but only at a great
personal cost. Smuggled into the besieged Jewish Quarter of
Jerusalem, she discovers members of her long-lost family.
Rachel decides she cannot leave the Old City or the people
who stand as one thin line between its survival. When secrets
of her past are uncovered, she is discredited before the very
people she wants so desperately to help. Alienated from her
own people and left in despair, she is not aware of the enemy
forces which threaten her very life. A sweeping historical
novel of a young nation struggling to keep its mandate and
a young woman struggling for her life. (c) Amazon.com

The Jewish people, gazing
down the vista of time, had longed for the rebirth of their
nation. That day was now upon them, but could they endure
its accompanying fury? The first two books in THE ZION CHRONICLES,
The Gates of Zion and its sequel, A Daughter of Zion, graphically
portrayed the courage and hope of the Jewish people streaming
into Israel after the Holocaust. The drama of history and
the heart-stopping life-and-death struggle of a nation are
captured by bestselling author Bodie Thoene in the lives of
the people who live on these pages. The Return to Zion opens
during the final month of British occupation in Palestine.
With Moshe the target of a dangerous conspiracy and Rachel
imprisoned behind the walls of the Old City, David and Ellie
marshall efforts in the last-ditch attempts of the Jewish
Agency to arm its people against the onslaught that surely
will come on the day the British forces leave Palestine. ENGULFED
IN DARKNESS AND HOPELESSNESS, THEY WONDERED WHAT DIFFERENCE
THE PROMISES TO ISRAEL MADE NOW? (c) Amazon.com

On the Eve of Israel's 40th
Anniversary of Statehood- The fourth book in THE ZION CHRONICLES,
A Light in Zion opens in April 1948, only six weeks before
the final evacuation of the British from Israel. The dream
for the rebirth of the Jewish nation now appears doomed to
extinction. The British have almost totally withdrawn from
any interference between the battles of the nearly unarmed
Jews and the Arab soldiers of Haj Amin Husseni. The eve of
Passover finds the Jewish sector of Jerusalem being starved
into submission by an Arab siege. While Moshe and his Jewish
troops risk their lives to open the Arab-held pass of Bab
el Wad for a food convoy to save their people, David and Ellie
search the Mediterranean for a freighter loaded with weapons
for the Muslim Jihad and the bands of Arab soldiers who still
vow to drive the Jews into the sea. And Rachel's mother-heart
yearns over her fever-ravaged infant-. BOUND BY DESTINY YET
OVERWHELMED BY ODDS, IS THERE ANY "LIGHT IN ZION"? (c) Amazon.com

Encompassed by Enemies Bent
on Their Destruction, Their Hopes Were Fixed on-The Key to
Zion The fifth book in THE ZION CHRONICLES, The Key to Zion
opens with the British in the final stages of their military
evacuation from Palestine. Haj Amin Husseini and the Arab
Palestinians have been impatiently awaiting this day, but
their power has gradually eroded. Five Mid-Eastern nations
have gathered around the tiny country to divide it up for
themselves, totally ignoring the interests of the Palestinians
in their greedy conspiracy to destroy the Jews. While the
Jewish Haganah frantically trains its pilots in fighter planes
which they, ironically, have bought from Germany Moshe is
still attempting to supply the Old City of Jerusalem with
food. Even before statehood is declared on May 14, 1948, full-scale
fighting breaks out between the Arabs and the Jews with no
intervention from the British. And caught in the middle are
the fleeing Palestinian refugees clogging the roads in front
of the incoming armies. The Key to Zion signals the hour of
destiny. (c) Amazon.com
