			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><a href="http://www.risenfiction.com/store/">Buy the paperback &gt;&gt;</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jihads-Messiah-Jihad-ebook/dp/B005EM0MMU/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&amp;m=AZC9TZ4UC9CFC">Buy the Kindle version &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/jihads-messiah-nick-daniels/1101570178">Buy the Nook version &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.risenfiction.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/TJM_cover_s.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-201" title="TJM_cover_s" src="http://www.risenfiction.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/TJM_cover_s.jpg" alt="The Jihad's Messiah" width="182" height="281" /></a></em></p>
<blockquote><p><em>In a future when world power has shifted to the Middle East, and the Arab nations have signed a seven-year peace treaty with Israel, a radical Iraqi leader—known as Al-Mahdi, “the Awaited One”—rises to power promising to convert the world to Islam.</em></p>
<p>Major General Farid Zadeh is Al-Mahdi’s most loyal follower and the next in line to become the Full Army General of Iraq—until he is falsely accused of being an Israeli spy. Determined to vindicate himself, Farid flies to Jerusalem to spy on the Israeli military. But before he can return home with the intelligence, the peace treaty is broken and war breaks out between the Arabs and Israel.</p>
<p>Now he must run for his life, as both armies consider him their enemy and want him dead. Help—and perhaps redemption—come from unlikely sources: a stunning Jewish woman and a Christian prisoner. When his faith and his loyalties are tested, Farid must decide which side to take…. His decision could alter the course of Man’s final war.</p></blockquote>
<p><em><br />
</em></p>
<h2>Praise for The Jihad&#8217;s Messiah</h2>
<p>&#8220;The Jihad&#8217;s Messiah is a thrilling ride into a very probable future. No other apocalyptic novel brings the current events in the Middle East so close to the biblical prophecies about the last days. This book will both entertain enlighten you, leaving you hungry for more. Nick Daniels is simply a fantastic author. I am already eagerly awaiting his next book.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>&#8211; <a href="http://www.joelstrumpet.com/">Joel Richardson</a>, New York Times bestselling author of The Islamic Antichrist</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Nick Daniels&#8217;s new novel, The Jihad&#8217;s Messiah, brings a new face to the thriller genre. Grab the whirlwind and hold on tight.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>&#8211; <a href="http://www.diannmills.com/" target="_blank">DiAnn Mills</a></em><em>, Christy Award winner author of Under a Desert Sky</em></p>
<p>&#8220;<em>The Jihad’s Messiah </em>is a fascinating thriller which provides a fresh perspective on apocalyptic events.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211; <em>Tim Chaffey, author of The Truth Chronicles</em></p>
<p>&#8220;This novel had everything I love in a book. It&#8217;s engaging, full of action, deals with faith-related issues, and even has a touch of romance. I had a hard time putting <em>The Jihad&#8217;s Messiah. </em>Highly recommended!&#8221;</p>
