Pope-Francis-Name-of-GodPope Francis’ The Name of God Is Mercy (Random House) and Priscilla Shirer’s Fervent (B&H Books) were No. 1 and 2, respectively, on Christian Retailing’s most recent Nielsen BookScan best-seller list. Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling (Thomas Nelson), the Kendrick brothers' The Battle Plan for Prayer (B&H Books) and Joel Osteen’s Fresh Start (FaithWords) rounded out the list's top five entries.

The list reflects February sales from a wide range of retail outlets, including independent Christian retailers, Family Christian Stores, Walmart and Amazon. Christian Retailing lists the top 20 titles from the BookScan list in its print and digital issue as well.
