The Twelfth Imam by Joel C. Rosenberg

The Twelfth Imam by Joel C. Rosenberg is an end-times thriller with lots of twists and turns. This book follows American, David Shirazi, from childhood and the tragedy of September 11,2001 to adulthood as a CIA agent hunting down Bin Laden then being told to change his target to Iran and it's nuclear ambitions. Little does he know there are forces beyond his understanding working in Iran and the Islamic faith's long awaited Messiah or "Twelfth Imam" is ready to take his place in the Muslim world.  Although he doesn't understand it all, it's up to David to stop this evil before it's too late.


The Twelfth Imam is a book that is hard to put down. Full of action and suspense as well as biblical prophecy, Joel keeps you guessing throughout the entire book. Joel does a wonderful job with character development, I really wanted to know what was going to happen to each character next. This book also challenged me to think of how difficult those in the Islamic world have it when it comes to hearing, reading, finding Truth( as in the Word of God). I highly recommend this book to others.

Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World

Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World by Dr. David Jeremiah is a wonderful book! I think we can all agree that we live in chaotic times. This book is about applying biblical principles to your life when you live in days that "try the soul". Dr. David Jeremiah takes Scripture and inspiring stories and uses them to encourage believers that with the Lord's wisdom we can live confidently through turbulent times.

Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World spoke to me on many levels. Dr. Jeremiah encourages us not to give up, to instead, stay calm, compassionate, constructive, challenged, connected, centered, confident, consistent, committed, and convinced. As the Body of Christ, we should handle the world's heavy burdens differently, because we have, among many other things, a secure future in eternity, through our relationship with Jesus. This book encouraged me, kept my attention, and challenged me. Dr. David Jeremiah is an excellent author and is scripturally solid. I highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading his next book" The Coming Economic Armageddon".
