Every time I read one of the Thoene's books I learn a little more about history. I always wonder which of the characters are fiction and which are real life.

The Key to Zion is the culmination of everything that has happened to the Jewish people throughout the ages. I became very angry when I realized what it took for these brave characters in the book to stand firm in the love of God and their faith in Jesus as they fought to simply have a land in which to exist. I cannot believe that mankind can hate as we do. Despite all the trials and tribulations the love and power of God comes through. This book lifted my spirits and renewed my faith.

This series as well as the previous, the Zion Covenant, are fantastic. You truely feel like part of the story, and most facts are accurate. I love reading about this time period in history, and the Thoene's do a fantastic job. Enjoy!

I believe this book is very good and accurate. I did not like the way the series kept you hanging at the very end, until I found out about the Zion Legacy Series which takes up right where this book leaves off.

I read this series when I was in the seventh or eight grade. I found this to be a REALLY good series. It has a little bit of everything to make it a truely captivating book. It has historical facts in it, along with some of the Jewish language, romance, and lots of adventure! While I was reading this series, my father and I would sit around and discuss the books at night. I definatly recommend this book if you want something really good to read!

I absolutely loved this series. However, I feel that the ending was incomplete. You are left guessing at what happens to the characters. Were Ellie, Moshe, and Rachel reunited? Did Rachel see Yacov and Grandfather again? Do David and Ellie go back to the States? I think that Bodie Thoene needs to write another to wrap all this up! Please write to me, I want to know if others feel the same!

The Zion Covenant and Cronicle books are all very inspiring. It helped my faith more than any other Christian book I have ever read. I couldn't put any of the books down. These are the exact kind of books you want in your Church library. Bodie Thoene's books are the best books I have ever read. She is clearly my favorite author.

Never have I come across a better author. Bodie Theone (tay-nee) is truly amazing. These books are full of drama. It's like the characters became my friends. When I finished the series, It felt as though I lost some good friends. I really don't know if I could be as entertained, enlightened and fulfilled by reading anything else after reading this series. Originally I was checking the series out one at a time from the library. But when I realized I'd finally found something I couldn't put down, I figured I better buy the whole series. I have never bought books before, because I've never found anything worthy of being read more than once. I was just so compelled and I want to share her writings with all my friends and family. She's spectacular. So is anything written by her husband Brock, who helps her co-write everything. It's almost like watching a movie, because there are so many plots intertwined. I was shocked to read the epilogue in RETURN TO ZION. You'll have to find out for yourself. Just don't start reading in the middle of the series. If I could never read another authors works but one it would be the Theone's. - Megan Villa
