Christian headlines reports that the best-selling book in twenty twenty-three was the Bible, but you likely won’t find it on any best-seller lists. The reasons for that vary, but according to The New Yorker, the Bible is quote “the best-selling book of the year, every year.” In two thousand six, per the New Yorker, the amount spent annually on Bibles has been put at more than half a billion dollars.” According to Guinness World Records, the Bible is the best-selling book of all time.
George Barna says eighty eight percent of Americans own a Bible, and most own multiple copies. While that’s impressive and even encouraging, the big question is whether Americans who own a Bible actually read it, and more importantly do they believe it and live according to its teachings? Parents, a great new year’s resolution is reading the Bible together as a family!
