"The Zion Chronicles" is a series of historical fiction novels written by Bodie and Brock Thoene. The series consists of five books that follow the lives of various characters against the backdrop of significant events in Israel's history. The books are known for their well-researched historical details, compelling storytelling, and focus on faith and courage in the face of adversity.
1. 'The Gates of Zion': The first book is set in 1948, during the time of Israel's struggle for independence. It follows the lives of Jewish immigrants, David and Ellie Meyer, as they face the challenges of settling in their new homeland amidst political turmoil.
2. 'A Daughter of Zion': The second book continues the story of the Meyer family and their struggles during the early years of the newly established state of Israel. It delves into themes of love, loss, and the rebuilding of a nation.
3. 'The Return to Zion': In the third book, the focus shifts to the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War. It follows the lives of the Meyer family as they navigate the complexities of life in Israel and grapple with personal and political challenges.
4. 'A Light in Zion': The fourth book explores the period leading up to the Yom Kippur War of 1973. Against the backdrop of rising tensions, the Meyer family faces personal and professional trials that test their faith and resilience.
5. 'The Key to Zion': The final book in the series brings the story to a conclusion as the Meyer family confronts the challenges of the present while grappling with the legacy of their past. It touches on themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the enduring spirit of the Jewish people.
Throughout the series, the Thoenes weave together fictional characters with real historical figures and events, providing readers with a vivid portrayal of Israel's history and the struggles of its people. The books are known for their rich storytelling, attention to detail, and the way they illuminate the human experience within the broader context of history. For readers interested in historical fiction, particularly focused on the history of Israel, "The Zion Chronicles" offers a compelling and immersive journey through significant moments in the nation's past.

I found hundreds of nice dust jackets with no books to cover. Need one for your library? Have a look at that category!
Have some dust jackets to sell? Drop me a line!
I ship domestically in the US using the Post Office and internationally using consolidation services. Books are always wrapped then packed in cardboard boxes with padding to protect the contents. International shipments are double boxed with shipping paperwork attached to the outside of the box using a special envelope. And a complete duplicate of all the paperwork packed inside the outer box in case the attached set wanders off.
