A Thousand Shall Fall (Shiloh Legacy) [Paperback]

Bodie Thoene (Author), Brock Thoene (Author)

Book Description

Series: Shiloh Legacy | Publication Date: July 1, 2006

The Shiloh Legacy series covers the lives of four young soldiers and their families through these great events: the end of World War I in France, the return of the soldiers to America, the Roaring Twenties, the stock-market crash, the resulting Great Depression, and the rebuilding of lives that must follow. Yet with all the racial, social, and cultural intolerance that marked the day—seemingly immovable mountains in the lives of these characters—God works through the tragedy, the laughter, the pain, the joy, the dramatic, and the ordinary to create a yearning in their hearts for a faith that moves mountains.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book and series, April 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Thousand Shall Fall (Shiloh Legacy) (Paperback)

This book/series, as are all the Thoene books, is a wonderful story about post WWI. The families and their daily living is written as if you were there. You become so involved in this book, that I wanted to read it in a day! The focus of the daily life in middle America post WWI is God centered. Wonderful Story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Fiction, November 7, 2006

This review is from: A Thousand Shall Fall (Shiloh Legacy) (Paperback)

Great historical fiction with an even more important underlying theme. Just finished books 1 & 2... I have learned a lot more about the American history ( e.g. the experience of WWI, and what our soldiers had to come home to... or, in book 2, the experience of what it was like to be around the incredible stock market run-ups). More importantly - I completely got wrapped up in the characters and how they responded to the highs and lows that ultimately come with life - and how their faith actually grows stronger as a result.

5.0 out of 5 stars Matchless storytelling, November 4, 2002

Bodie Thoene is a master story-teller. She weaves multiple plots, characters, and events, both small and large, into a seamless story that you simply don't want to put down. I am always disappointed when the book ends because I've become so wrapped up in the historically accurate world of the characters, and I am glad for the other books in the series I have yet to read!
The world she depicts in The Shiloh Legacy series reflects the broad range of simple joys and heartbreaks of the average person or family. By the end of the novel, without realizing it, I've stopped to re-evaluate my own life and priorities and I see them in the bigger picture perspective.
Excellent!
