New York Times

best-selling author Jentezen Franklin has renewed a publishing deal with Charisma Media's book division, Charisma House.

Best known for his New York Times best-selling book, Fasting, released in January 2008, Franklin will write several books and help produce ancillary products. The partnership will expand the "Fasting" brand in both general market and Christian retail channels, Charisma House said.

Franklin—whose other Charisma House books include Believe That You Can and Fear Fighters—is currently working on his next, yet-untitled book to be released later this year, focusing on the power of fasting to help Christians regain their edge. With more than 20-plus years in full-time ministry, Franklin pastors two nondenominational megachurches—one in the Atlanta area and another in Orange County, Calif.

Tessie DeVore, executive vice president of Charisma House Book Group, said that "the concepts we have and are still developing are easily going to be some of Jentezen Franklin's best work yet."
