>> Israelis rejoice at homecoming of Gilad Shalit
>> View new interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network on The Tehran Initiative
With the Iran nuclear and terrorism threat rising and dominating headlines in recent weeks, my new political thriller, The Tehran Initiative, hits book stores today. It’s available in hardcover, on audio, and on e-books like Kindle and Nook. The first interview I did on this media tour was with Sean Hannity — to listen to the audio, please click here.
In the interview, Sean and I discussed the similarities between the fictional elements of the novel and current events, how Shia End Times theology is driving Iranian foreign policy, and the contrast between the beliefs of Iran’s senior leaders with Biblical End Times theology. I also urged the GOP candidates to develop comprehensive, specific, principled policies to neutralize the Iran threat, and discuss these plans during the debates and in major policy addresses. It is time for President Obama to completely overhaul his Iran policy, as well, though at the moment that doesn’t seem likely. The West needs to wake up to the gravity of the Iran threat and take decisive action before it’s too late. That’s why I wrote this novel. This will be my message through the book tour. But honestly my concern is that the world will not take decisive action, Iran will get the Bomb, and Tehran will unleash attacks of biblical proportions. Let us pray these fears are not realized.
