PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 10, 2007 -
Nashville, TN - Award-winning illusionist BJ Harris has been tapped to host Dove Award winner and GRAMMY nominee NewSong’s "Rescue 2007" Tour. Sponsored by Holt International, the leader in the field of international adoption and permanency planning for children, the 20-city fall tour will also feature INO Records’ Echoing Angels and Inpop Records’ Jimmy Needham. More information on the "Rescue 2007" Tour may be found at www.rescuetour.com.

In addition to hosting the "Rescue 2007" Tour, Harris has been introducing his mind-bending illusions to audiences at several high-profile events in 2007. During GMA Week 2007, he co-hosted the Echo Awards with ABC’s "Next Best Thing" finalist the "Definitive George W. Bush Impersonator" John Morgan and made a surprise guest appearance at the Annual McCain & Co. Guitar Pull. This summer, Harris wowed media and conference attendees at the International Christian Retail Show in Atlanta, Ga., and GMA Music in the Rockies in Estes Park, Colo. He also made a special guest appearance at the morning devotions at the Focus on the Family offices while in Estes Park.

An expert in the art of deception, BJ Harris has performed before one million people in nine nations on five continents. Often recognized by his peers for his professionalism and showmanship, his performances not only amaze his audiences, but also awaken them to the lure of deception, the power of the senses and the secret of living life based on deeper realities. He is passionate about helping people—especially today’s emerging generation—to transcend the trickery of the postmodern world and to discover an authentic connection with their Creator.

Harris is currently writing Senseless, a book that focuses on how the everyday culture lives by its senses and how Christ wants to transform the culture to transcend senses and to learn to live "senselessly" by faith. For more information on BJ Harris, visit www.bjharris.com.
