MAITLAND, FL— Michael L. Russo’s new book, The Via Dolorosa: A Forensic and Spiritual Treatise on the Salvific Work of Jesus Christ ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-62509-703-3; $7.99, e-book, 978-1-62509-704-0) provides a learning, emotional, and spiritual experience for the reader. Russo continues, “Through the use of the actual sites on the Via Dolorosa the reader can be drawn into the events of Calvary and share in the devotion embraced by millions of pilgrims over the centuries.” The author’s mission and expectation is that this book will deepen the understanding of what Jesus Christ suffered for the salvation of mankind.

“…[This book] is newsworthy because it brings to life the Via Dolorosa (the Way of Sorrows) to everyone without focusing on a specific theology,” states the author. “The book combines forensic studies with actual sites that exist today so that a visual impression can help the reader to enter into a deeper meditation and devotion as he or she reflects on the passion and death of Jesus Christ.”

Deacon Michael L. Russo was ordained to the Diaconate in 2010 in the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, PA and is the associate director of Diaconal Formation and the ministerial coordinator of Adult Enrichment and Lay Ecclesial Ministry for the Diocese. He holds a Master of Arts degree in Sacred Scripture and Systematic Theology from St. Vincent Seminary where he serves as a member of the adjunct faculty.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 8,000 titles published to date.
