Wow! Redeeming Love is #8 all of a sudden? I'm even shocked that even last month it was in the top 50 - that book has been out for a decade. Do you have any idea as to why its suddenly so popular again?

Nicole said...

JMO, Allie. It's a legend in its own time, a destined classic. People continue to give it as gifts to others who after reading it do the same. It's ageless. Anointed.

Allie, Redeeming Love appears on the CBA bestseller list almost every month, and usually around the #8 spot.

Ditto what Nicole said.

Thanks. My husband is our list person, and these aren't lists he'd look at it. So it's nice for me to find them here.
