Jonathan Cahn’s The Mystery of the Shemitah (FrontLine) has charted simultaneously on two best-seller lists. The follow-up to Cahn’s debut novel, The Harbinger, the new nonfiction book released Sept. 2, placing sixth on the New York Times Advice, How-to and Miscellaneous list and 31^st on USA Today’s Best-Selling Books Top 150 list.

In Shemitah, Cahn reveals a 3,000-year-old biblical prophecy for America’s future, building on the mysterious biblical prophecy from The Harbinger, which sold 1.6 million copies and remained on the New York Times Paperback Fiction list for more than 110 weeks.

The Shemitah (SHMEE-tah), or Sabbath year, is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for the land of Israel. Cahn says understanding this seven-year pattern is essential for understanding the prophecies and mysteries of the Bible that are still applicable today.

“As we commemorate a day in our nation’s history that deeply tested the strength of our foundation, Cahn’s message is needed more than ever,” Tessie DeVore, Charisma House Book Group executive vice president, said in a reference to 9/11. “We are pleased to see The Mystery of the Shemitah garnering national attention at a time when the nation is still seeking hope for its future.”

Shemitah also debuted atop the Christian Prophecy category on Amazon.com and several other general-market and Christian-trade lists, including Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and CBD.com, triggering a reprint to meet market demand at retail its first day of release.
