Five Books on the New York Times Bestseller List
I have worked at Thomas Nelson for almost ten years. The most books we’ve ever had on the New York Times bestsellers list at one time is three. That was more than two years ago.
Yesterday, we were notified by the Times that we will have five books on the October 21, 2007 list. This is a new record for our company. These include:
- Signs of Life by David Jeremiah is #10 on the hardcover advice list
- Inside My Heart by Robin McGraw is #12 on the paperback advice list
- Thank You Power by Deborah Norville is #13 on the hardcover advice list
- Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge is #14 on the paperback advice list
- It’s All About Him by Denise Jackson is #33 on the hardcover non-fiction list
So far, this fiscal year (since April 1, 2007) we have had a total of thirteen books hit the list. Last year, we had nineteen hit the list all year. So we are well-outpacing that performance. This is very encouraging.
Congratulations to these authors and to their publishers: Tami Heim, David Moberg, Brian Hampton, Joey Paul, and Joel Miller. I am proud of each of you!
