Present day Israel. Covertly, a man named Yasha has been sent in to change a nation and to rescue its citizens. One by one, he gathers twelve divergent Israeli men-a group of unsuspecting accomplices that include blue collar workers, criminals, a student, and a former Orthodox Jew-who join him in undertaking a moral and spiritual revolution. They become known as the Twelve.
Yasha infiltrates the international community by performing unexpected miracles: healing the sick, feeding refugees, and raising the dead. As he impacts the current landscapes, the Israeli and Palestinian governments feel threatened and move in to destroy the Twelve. Deception and betrayal by both governments, as well as one from Yasha's inner circle, causes events to culminate quickly. Armed only with love in a world full of weapons, Yasha will need committed followers, divine support, and an unwavering resolve to accomplish his mission-one of ultimate sacrifice.
Twelve, told in reverse chronological order, is a modern-day portrayal of Jesus and his disciples. Once Jews and Romans, now Israelis and Palestinians. Previously one country, now divided lands. Then a religious majority, now a secular front. The greatest story ever told-the good news of salvation through Jesus-takes on a new life, renewing our beliefs of his character, his purpose, and his victory.
