The Zion Chronicles

The Zion Chronicles series covers the events surrounding Israel's statehood in 1948. Each book 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.

Bodie and Brock Thoene: The Zion Chronicles

This series was my initial introduction into historical fiction and it opened up my eyes to one of the many ways that we can learn from literature. History was always difficult for me to connect with but combining intriguing characters with actual historical events, made it come alive!

I have read this series multiple times over the years and it continues to be one of my favourites.
