Worthy Publishing has signed New York Times best-selling author John Hagee, releasing The Power of the Prophetic Blessing: An Astonishing Revelation for the Next Generation in August 2012.

The new book “will offer a much needed prophetic word of encouragement and blessing for today’s readers and the generations to come,” said Byron Williamson, president of Worthy Publishing.

Hagee’s previous book Jerusalem Countdown (FrontLine/Charisma House) sold more than 1 million copies, and Can America Survive? (Howard Books/Simon & Schuster) was a New York Times best-seller.

A broadcaster and author of more than 20 books, Hagee is senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, a church of more than 19,000 members.

The new book will be supported through a 12-week television message expected to reach 10 million viewers; a national radio campaign; consumer advertising in major magazines; and a multi-city tour.

Worthy also recently announced the signing of Jerry B. Jenkins to a seven-figure, six-book contract with the first fiction title to release in 2013. 

Former Thomas Nelson executive Byron Williamson heads Worthy Publishing, a division of Worthy Media, based in Brentwood, Tenn.
