Purchase options and add-ons

A politico-religious thriller about persecuted Christians in the Iraq war.

In 2008, Ken Timmerman warned the U.S. government and the American public that Christians were “facing extinction” in northern Iraq. In the summer of 2017, he was back on the ground, debriefing the most recent victims of the ISIS onslaught.

Sometimes fiction precedes reality. That is the case with ISIS Begins. A politico-religious thriller first written in 2010, and updated in recent months after Ken’s most recent trips to northern Iraq, it gives readers a ringside seat to a tragedy that never should have happened. Everybody with any involvement on the ground in Iraq, from U.S. government officials to Christian aid organizations to journalists like Ken, knew what would happen once the U.S. pulled out of Iraq.

ISIS Begins takes you on a journey of the heart, bringing alive the sufferings of Iraqi Christians persecuted for their faith by jihadi Muslims. It also unveils the deep corruption and utter cynicism of some career U.S. government officials, who used their power to enrich themselves at the expense of their fellow citizens—while decimating a Christian community that still uses the language of Jesus at home and in church.

“I have spent my life tracking the murderers of yesterday. Ken Timmerman is tracking the murderers of tomorrow.”
—Simon Wiesenthal

“Timmerman names names… We’re going to have to get this book in the hands of a lot of people... Your book is fabulous!"
—Rush Limbaugh, on Shadow Warriors

My first Middle East reporting trip took me to Beirut in July 1982, and I've been going back ever since. I've lived in Egypt and Lebanon, have worked with freedom fighters in Iran and Iraq, and been held hostage by Muslim terrorists in a war zone. All of that is the subject of my latest book, And the Rest Is History.

My forthcoming book, Raising Olives in Provence, is a change of pace, a laugh-out-loud account of the south of France from someone who has gotten to know the region and its people intimately over the past twenty years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where have all the Christians Gone?

I spent fifteen years in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan. "ISIS Begins" was clearly written by someone who has been there and knows the truth about Christians and their plight. While the story is entertaining, the deeper message is very disturbing and should serve as a warning to Christians. This story could easily be fact rather than fiction, perhaps Historical Fiction is an appropriate genre. Well written and easy to read, I highly recommend "ISIS Begins."
