Bodie and Brock Thoene (pronounced Tay-nee) have been favorite authors of mine for over twenty years. My mom introduced me to them when I was a teenager, and I have never been disappointed by one of their books.
Bodie holds a PhD in creative writing and Brock holds a PhD in history and a masters degree in education. (I wish Hubby and I shared a great talent like this. Wouldn’t writing books together be a fun thing for a couple to do.) I appreciate the careful research that goes into making these books. You will feel like you are living in the time period. When you wonder if this, or that really happened, look it up, it really did. Though the characters are fiction, most of the facts are right from the pages of history.
They have eight different series you can choose from. The best are The Zion Covenant Series, Zion Chronicles Series and the Zion Legacy Series. All about WW2, and the Jewish people, and the setting up of Israel as a nation. I have attached myself to the characters in these books.
Now my new favorite series is about the times of Christ. The A.D. Chronicles Series. Though Christ is woven into the series, we focus on several characters that lived, and learned of Christ in different ways.
Come on over and borrow a few – I have several of the series. I have read and reread them lots of times, and I plan on reading books from the Thoenes for twenty more years to come.
Bonus: Did I mention they are Christian writers – I am really appreciating CLEAN books more and more!
