A Light in Zion

This in an excellent book; however, you need to read all the previous in all the series to understand what is going on. All the books in these three series are excellent!!!

This series as well as the previous, the Zion Covenant, are fantastic. You truely feel like part of the story, and most facts are accurate. I love reading about this time period in history, and the Thoene's do a fantastic job. Enjoy!

I received this series from a pile of books to give away from a church library, and having heard of them before, I thought I`d try it. Beginning the first book, I thought it was okay, but somewhat typical of most Christian fiction I`ve read. By the time, I finished, it had become more interesting, and I was anxious to start the next book to see what would happen. Having just finished "A Light in Zion", I am more and more impressed with the author, as the story seems to capture a variety of veiwpoints and beliefs and lives, and respects most of them. I am recommending these books to everyone I know.

All of the Thoene books relating to the Jewish history before, during, and after the birth and life of Jesus. Bible stories, factual history bound together with some fictional conversation. These books are riveting, extremely informative and very spiritual. It's much like reading and studying the bible with stories that flow so well that they remain in your memory. I started with AD Chronicles(5), then the Zion Chronicles (5), and currently finishing the Zion Legacy. These books will change your life. When I finish, I'm going to read the entire set two more times. They are worth committing to memory. These authors are gifted and a blessing.

Never have I come across a better author. Bodie Theone (tay-nee) is truly amazing. These books are full of drama. It's like the characters became my friends. When I finished the series, It felt as though I lost some good friends. I really don't know if I could be as entertained, enlightened and fulfilled by reading anything else after reading this series. Originally I was checking the series out one at a time from the library. But when I realized I'd finally found something I couldn't put down, I figured I better buy the whole series. I have never bought books before, because I've never found anything worthy of being read more than once. I was just so compelled and I want to share her writings with all my friends and family. She's spectacular. So is anything written by her husband Brock, who helps her co-write everything. It's almost like watching a movie, because there are so many plots intertwined. I was shocked to read the epilogue in RETURN TO ZION. You'll have to find out for yourself. Just don't start reading in the middle of the series. If I could never read another authors works but one it would be the Theone's. - Megan Villa
