This book leaves Romeo and Juliet in the dust! If I were a movie director,(which I very well may end up being) I would definitely make a movie out of it! The characters are very endearing!

This is the best book in the series by far! I say that partly because I love Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and the musical West Side Story. Elements from both works are present here. Victoria's warning to Eli "Do not swear by the stars" brings to mind Juliet's "Swear not by the moon/The inconstant moon." Eli cries out his beloved's name when a death occurs just as Tony cries out "Maria!" after the rumble. Also I like the change of scene. Elisa and Murphy are still present but the focus here is more on Shimon and Leah Feldstein, two of my favorite characters from A Daughter of Zion. Readers who have read the Zion Chronicles before this series will recognize Moshe Sachar and Rachel Lubetkin, principal characters in that series, and may be slighly surprised at the ending of
this book. (Hint: Read over Gates of Zion first.)

I hope that the fellow reviewer who wants to make movies makes a movie out of this some day!

After reading the description about this book, I was a little worried it wouldn't be in very good shape. But when I recieved it, I can say 100% it had never been read. The book was in PERFECT shape. Not even a bend in the binding, or fingerprint on the cover. I will buy from them as often as I can. Thank you for a product that exceeded my expectations.

I agree with other reviewers; this one is my favorite so far. A love story with a lot of action
and suspense, and the knowledge that God is in control no matter what. You guys are awesome.
Keep up the wonderful writing!

It's 1938, and the familiar characters from the Zion Covenant series continue their lives as their world moves inexorably toward war. In London, violinist Elisa Murphy finds a new orchestra position and awaits the birth of her first child. Elisa's father, former department store entrepreneur and former concentration camp inmate Theo Lindheim, finds himself facing a moral choice that could take him back inside Hitler's Germany. Leah and Shimon Feldstein, Elisa's dear friends from her Vienna Symphony days, arrive at last in British-occupied Palestine. And as German agents work to stir up the ancient hatred between Palestine's Arab citizens and the returning Jews who hope Britain will decide to partition the Holy Land and provide them with their own reborn country, rabbi-in-training Eli Sacher dreams about marrying his childhood friend Victoria Hassan - daughter of an Arab rug merchant, whose Western dress and job with the British occupiers gall her family.

The Thoenes do a good job of writing Christians facing moral dilemmas, and of writing non-Christians journeying toward faith. There's little preaching here, and that makes this book far stronger than it would be otherwise. It's also an effectively told tale of international intrigue, and of human beings struggling with a world that is going mad all around them. The best of the series so far! (I've read all of them except the final book.)

The book arrived earlier than expected. Was like new and the read is great.

All books in this series, Zion Covenant, are great. Great historical facts too. Enjoy the read and learn something too! Read the Zion Chronicles after you finish this series.

Book arrived quickly and in shape described. I am very satisfied with the seller. Thanks.
