I sent this to another list and thought some of you may be interested, also.

I'm reading a series of Joel Rosenberg's 
books.  I'm in the third book.  These are a 
little bit like the Left Behind series except 
that they are more political than religious.  I 
believe that the author is a believer and the 
books are told from a conservative Christian 
point of view.  Yet, the author does not bash the 
Palestinians.  The first book in the series is 
the last Jihad.  Here is the nls information for all 5 books.
