 Has it really been 15 years since the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book released? I fondly remember getting one from my cousin as a birthday gift and sharing all the stories with my co-workers, including one about a child buying shoes for his ailing mother that would later be encapsulated in the NewSong holiday hit, “The Christmas Shoes.” Tears were, of course, shed.
- I imagine many more hearts were tugged, as the series, which is considered the bestselling publishing series in history, has amassed sales of over $1.3 billion and has over 112 million books in print.

No, it's not The Shack but I'm sure the publisher doesn't mind a comparison, especially since the original design (below) went in a totally different direction. Besides the cover similarities, the latest release from bestselling author Ted Dekker does involve a serial killer. But this foray into the general market (it's being released by Hachette's general market imprint Center Street) revolves around the BoneMan who abducts women looking for the "ultimate daughter." Dekker, who continues to write with Christian publisher Thomas Nelson (most recently the novel Kiss), took an option in his contract for this standalone novel.

 - A Christian book could be part of the plethora of sights for Super Bowl Sunday. Former Indianapolis Colts coach and best-selling author Tony Dungy will be part of NBC’s Super Bowl XLIII pre-game coverage Feb. 1 in Tampa, Fla., so look for him to plug Uncommon: Finding Your Path to Significance (Tyndale House Publishers).
Earlier this week, Dungy began his national media tour to launch Uncommon—released Jan. 27—with an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America.

 Being a fan of music in general, I was familiar with the band The Fray. I had heard their songs on mainstream radio stations in the last several years. And you might have even heard their songs before too and didn't know it like "How to Save a Life" and "Over My Head (Cable Car)" that were featured on such shows as Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs and were catalysts for thrusting this band into the national limelight.
