Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Shiloh Legacy series covers the lives of four young soldiers and their families through these great events: the end of World War I in France, the return of the soldiers to America, the Roaring Twenties, the stock-market crash, the resulting Great Depression, and the rebuilding of lives that must follow. Yet with all the racial, social, and cultural intolerance that marked the day--seemingly immovable mountains in the lives of these characters--God works through the tragedy, the laughter, the pain, the joy, the dramatic, and the ordinary to create a yearning in their hearts for a faith that moves mountains.

Synopsis:

The Roaring Twenties promise peace and prosperity after the Great War.

But is all what it seems?

Nine-year-old David OHalloran has not had an easy life. He cant even remember his father. Now his beloved mother is dying of cancer in St. Francis Hospital in Philadelphia, leaving David home alone with his drunk, abusive stepfather. "Who was my real father?" David longs to know. Then one day, while in his mothers room, he discovers some letters . . . and the shocking truth.

Former soldier Max Meyer, now a respected financial columnist for the "New York Times," is convinced of a pending stock-market crash. But no one wants to listen to this doomsday report. Especially Mob Boss Quinn, who has a lot to lose and would do anything to keep Max silent.

After ten years of hard work on the oil rigs of Oklahoma, Birch Tucker at last returns home to Shiloh, Arkansas, with his wife, Trudy, and their three sons. It is the place of their hopes and dreams . . . but will it last?

Will anything in America survive the great stock-market crash of 1929?

Special Feature: Study questions suitable for individual use or group discussion.

"A Thousand Shall Fall" is also available complete and unabridged from Luke Thoene Productions www.familyaudiolibrary.com
