New Fiction

There is no shortage of modern Christian fiction covering all genres including historical novels, romance, suspense and mystery. 
Most carry a Christian message.  
Until recently the balance has been in favour of books to appeal to women but the latest selection at re:fresh books includes a number written by and for men.

  

The Twelfth Imam by Joel C Rosenberg

The latest novel from Joel C. Rosenberg, author of The Last Jihad, The Ezekiel Option and Inside the Revolution, is also the first in a new political thriller series.  Set against the background of an Iran which is arming itself with nuclear weapons to support the imminent return of the Muslim Messiah, the Mahdi or Twelfth Imam, this is a fast-moving thriller. 
CIA operative David Shirazi, finds himself in Tehran racing to prevent the threatened nuclear holocaust.  But there is more to challenge him as he hears reports of appearances by the Mahdi, accompanied by miracles and healings, and encounters former Muslims who have had visions of Jesus Christ.
