The Lord of All, incarnate, came down to fight the battle for the kingdom of men's hearts

Book 14: Third Watch (A.D. Chronicles #3) by Brock and Bodie Thoene

My rating: ****1/2

"This is the story of the battle between The Truth and the Father of Lies. Each fought mightily for the souls of mankind. Those who witnessed the conflict firsthand could not comprehend how ancient this war was, nor what the outcome meant for generations yet to be born."

That essentially sums up this book. Jesus's "fame" is spreading, and the Enemy is trying harder and harder to prevent the Truth from triumphing over his lies. There are some new characters introduced in this book as well as some old revisited. Zahav was destined from birth to remain single and never bear children - a fate that tears her heart in pieces. Alexander has recently lost his wife and daily battles with a demon-possessed son. I knew from the beginning of the book these 2 would end up together...and I was right. :-)

I love how the Thoene's describe Jesus. There's a gentleness and compassion that leaps off of the pages. An approachableness. He welcomes and loves people and doesn't miss opportunities to share Truth - to show and tell that He is the Truth that people are searching for. He is the piece that will fill the holes in their hearts. And that isn't merely fiction.
