"The Thief" by Tim Chaffey and Joe Westbrook

This is the fourth book in The Truth Chronicles series. If you missed them, here are my reviews for Book 1, Book 2, and Book 3.

"The Thief" is the start of a new adventure for Jax, Izzy, JT, and Micky. This story opens nine months after "The Rescue" ends, when the kids are gearing up for another science fair at their school. The guys are working on building a cloaking device, while the girls are attempting to invent a matter transporter. First, though, they're off on school nature trip which will afford them plenty of opportunities to enjoy God's creation and see if what they are finding lines up with what they have learned on their trips back through time.

One thing I enjoyed about this book was that JT had more of a leading role. She and Micky get to have lots of scenes together. Micky still isn't convinced that the Bible is true, and is sure that with time and opportunity she'll be able to prove the others wrong.

Pastor RIch, the much-loved youth pastor who has meant so much to JT and the gang, gets his own subplot as we follow him on a mission trip to the Middle East. Although he knows he is risking his life to distribute Bibles to underground churches, his faith is strengthened as he sees God make a way for His Word to reach people who have never had their own copy of the Scriptures.

When our group of time travelers find out that some of their inventions have been broken and stolen, the kids are off on an adventure that will carry them into Book 5. I flew through Books 4 and 5, not wanting to put them down! Be watching for my review of "The Chase" to be posted here soon.

I received my copy of the book from the author in exchange for this honest review. All opinions are my own.
