(March 29, 2011) Pope Benedict XVI's newest book, released March 10, has moved
up to the No. 5 spot on the New York Times bestseller list in the hardcover nonfiction
category. The Pope's book, "Jesus of Nazareth Part II: Holy Week - From the Entrance
into Jerusalem to the Resurrection", published by “Ignatius Press” also made the
best seller lists published by The Wall Street Journal and "Publisher’s Weekly." "It’s
great to see Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week move toward No. 1 on the New York Times
bestseller list,” said Ignatius Press President Mark Brumley. "This book presents
Jesus in a powerful way, so we are excited that so many people are buying the book
and getting to know Jesus Christ better through it. "During Lent, this is especially
important for believers. But it's also important for nonbelievers and seekers to encounter
the real Jesus" he added.
