Book Review: The Chiveis Trilogy

Last night, I finally finished the Chiveis trilogy, a fictional series written by professor of theology Bryan Liftin.  The series is set in Europe, several centuries from now.  A war and plague have essentially wiped out modern technologies leaving groups of people and villages that seem in many ways, to be what would be expected 1000 years ago. 

More importantly to the story is that the Word of God has essentially disappeared.  People worship other "gods" but the God of the Bible has been systematically eliminated. There are those who know if it, but have diligently sought to remove all traces of it from the world. 

However, the two main characters, Teofil and Anastasia, meet and through a series of circumstances seek to learn more about the one God, Deu.  This trilogy tracks their adventures to learn the word of God and to stand up to all who would seek to destroy it. 

It is an interesting series.  I don't read much fiction these days, but I thoroughly enjoyed these books.  His writing is adequate and he knows how to keep the reader moving from chapter to chapter, wanting to know what happens next.  I would certainly commend it to you.
