Rosenberg's The Third Target, a novel with a plot about the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), has landed on several national best-seller lists for the fourth week in a row and is No. 1 in the Christian market, according to the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association.

It is currently No. 12 on the Publishers Weekly hardcover fiction best-seller list. That is up from No. 13 last week. It debuted at No. 4 on the PW list last month. The novel is on the USA Today list for the fourth-straight week, which combines all genres of best-sellers, from hardcover fiction to paperback to children's and business books.

The Third Target is also now the nation's No. 1 best-selling novel in the Christian market, according to the Evangelical Christian Publishing Association. It is also the No. 3 book overall in the North American Christian bookselling market, behind two non-fiction titles.

The novel also recently hit the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post hardcover fiction best-seller lists.
