Summary: Tired of this
Review: Its time for them to go back and finish the zion covenant series, instead of forging new series, they need to complete unfinished work!

Summary: Gripping Personal Drama
Review: Once again, the Thoenes transport us back to the first century and the Earthly ministry of Yeshua. While His disciples and other followers debate how and when He will declare Himself as the king of the Jews, Manaen struggles with his sudden blindness. Will his bitterness destroy his new life with Susanna? In Caesarea Philippi, the rabbi's oldest daughter longs for love as she awaits the Messiah's coming. And flute maker Alexander struggles with dealing with the death of his wife and raising his possessed son alone. Is there any hope from the God his fathers rejected? While these stories are playing out, Herod makes another bid to destroy this threat to his throne.

This series is such a departure from the political intrigue that made them popular originally. These personal dramas are just as compelling, however. Even when I knew how these stories would end, I couldn't put the book down until I had finished. Once again, their portrait of Yeshua as a personal friend to all who meet Him is touching. And they certainly present some ideas to think about as well.

While I'd like them to get back to 1948 Israel, I'm enjoying this detour to 1st century Israel. Bring on the next book, no matter when it's set.

Summary: TRUTH
Review: The whole A.D. series has been a blessing to read, beyond what words can say. The person who didn't like it is spoiled. These books are our first introduction to the Thoenes. We have missed a lot through the years and we are looking to "catch-up". So, Of course we think this series is the best, it's our 1st. We love to listen to the characters as Sean Barrett reads. He is certainly a Master!

Summary: Awesome! The Thoenes have perfected time travel.
Review: Travel back in time and place once again. Impeccable research and brilliant writing are the vehicle to transport you to first century Jerusalem and its environs.

Meet up with friends old and new.

Third Watch is the third installment in the A. D. Chronicles by Brock and Bodie Thoene. Unlike many series, none of their books suffer as sequels. The storytelling is fresh and offers insight into familiar biblical stories.

This is what historical fiction should be!
