Jerusalem's Heart
In Jerusalem Vigil and Thunder From Jerusalern, the first two books in the best selling Zion Legacy Series, Bodie and Brock Thoene thrilled readers with what the New York Post calls "fast paced" and "riveting" action. As in their earlier series, The Zion Chronicles and The Zion Covenant, which have gripped millions of readers, the Zion Legacy Series brings to life a cast of richly drawn characters caught up in the struggle for Jerusalem during a momentous turning point in its history.
Jerusalem's Heart, the third installment, opens on May 23, 1948, in the maelstrom of the conflict between Jewish and Muslim forces. Nine days of brutal fighting have passed since the new State of Israel was proclaimed. The Zion Gate is now closed and supplies for the Haganah patriots who are struggling to hold on to the Old City are quickly running out. Hundreds of loyal soldiers who do not speak the same language but who have come together in faith and who are willing to die for Israel scramble to circumvent the Muslim stronghold. Inside the city, the spirit of the valiant defenders threatens to fail. The leading Haganah strategist, Moshe Sachar, is trapped in enemy territory and desperately races to reach those still fighting for the Old City, including his pregnant wife, Rachel. Her grandfather sees a prophecy of hope for Jerusalem, but can Moshe reach them before the attacks overtake them and it is too late?
The heart stopping stories of these characters and others, with their heroism and faith, passions and fears, are interwoven with the fight for the soul of the city, which is played out in its bloodstained alleys. Jerusalem's Heart is a thrilling third installment in the saga of the battle to liberate the world's holiest enclave. Once again Bodie and Brock Thoene have combined an unsurpassed and timely blend of superb storytelling, historical authenticity, and incredible drama that will engross readers and leave them eager for the next volume in the series, The Jerusalem Scrolls.
BODIE & BROCK THOENE, with degrees in creative writing and history, respectively, are the authors of thirty four novels that include the bestselling series The Zion Chronicles and The Zion Covenant. Together they have won eight Evangelical Christian Publishers Gold Medallion awards. The Thoenes live in Nevada and London, England.
