JOEL C. ROSENBERG TO DO 13-CITY SPEAKING TOUR THIS FALL DISCUSSING NEW BOOK THE TWELFTH IMAM AND IRAN’S NUCLEAR THREAT

CAROL STREAM, Ill. (Sept 13, 2010)—Joel C. Rosenberg, “New York Times” bestselling author and founder of the humanitarian relief organization The Joshua Fund, will embark this fall on an extensive speaking and booksigning tour for the release of his highly anticipated novel “The Twelfth Imam” (Oct. 19, 2010/Tyndale). Rosenberg’s tour will take him coast to coast from Spartanburg, SC, to Vancouver, WA, allowing him to visit with fans in many of his bestselling markets.

The first title in an entirely new series by the award-winning author, “The Twelfth Imam” couldn’t be timelier as it examines “what if the world waits too long and Iran actually acquires nuclear weapons?” As readers have come to expect from Rosenberg, this tale could be ripped from tomorrow’s headlines about the Middle East. Tensions are rising between a nuclear Iran and Israel who is threatened to be “wiped off the map.” A CIA operative is sent in to Iran to disrupt its nuclear weapons program without leaving American fingerprints. But rumors of the Twelfth Imam, the so-called Islamic “messiah” awaited by Shia Muslims, begin to infiltrate the Iranian government and it could change everyone’s destiny.

The Twelfth Imam tour will include the following dates and locations with additional cities to be announced:
Tues. Oct. 19—9 AM CBN’s “700 Club,” Virginia Beach, VA
Wed. Oct. 20— 6:30 PM First Baptist Church/Christian Supply, Spartanburg SC
Sat. Oct. 23— 7:00 PM Perimeter Church/ The Potters House, Valdosta, GA

Wed. Nov. 3—6:30 PM McKinney Memorial Bible Church, Fort Worth, TX
Thurs. Nov. 4—6:30 PM Green Acres Baptist Church, Tyler, TX

At each venue, Rosenberg will address about what it could mean if the West waits too long to take action on the Iranian nuclear program and what connections it has with biblical prophecy.
