<P><B><FONT face=Verdana size=-1>Below is a news item from a publisher's
newsletter -- it testifies to the stength of those Christians who want Israel to
hold on to the "Biblical" lands of Gaza and the West Bank.</FONT></B></P>

face=Verdana size=-1>Who is Joel Osteen, the fall Warner Faith author we
mentioned yesterday in Lunch Deluxe whose book went to No. 1 at Wal-mart.com on
pre-orders alone? He's the pastor at Houston's Lakewood Church, considered the
largest and among the fastest growing congregations in the country with over
25,000 people attending services every weekend. The publishers says it's his
weekly television program that propelled the early interest in the book. His
show goes out on six cable networks, including ABC Family, BET, Trinity
Broadcasting and the Daystar Television Network. Plus, later this month he will
be carried every Sunday on the Discover Channel as well.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana size=-1>Meanwhile, a brand-new release from Warner Faith
has also had a strong opening. Fundamentalist Christian minister Michael Evans'
"The American Prophecies: Ancient Scriptures Reveal Our Nation's Future" was No.
1 at both Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com at times yesterday, and debuts at
No. 10 on the New York Times extended bestseller list in the hardcover advice
category.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana size=-1>A description from Amazon indicates that "he
believes that God wants Israel to have full control of the West Bank and Gaza,
and Americans are risking God's wrath by not fully supporting this biblical
mandate. Evans also theorizes that much of America's problems--including the
attack of 9-11--are indications of God's fury over America's split allegiance
between the two famous descendents of Abraham: Ishmael and
Isaac."</FONT></P></SPAN></DIV>
