Jesus-Calling-book-coverSarah Young’s Jesus Calling (Thomas Nelson) and Joel Osteen’s The Power of I Am (FaithWords) placed at No. 2 and No. 4, respectively, on Christian Retailing’s exclusive Nielsen BookScan list reflecting November sales.

This month’s list was notable for the prominence of several general market titles, including Alice Schertle’s Little Blue Truck’s Christmas and Chris Van Allsburg’s The Polar Express: 30th Anniversary Edition (both Harcourt). These holiday-centric general market titles received a sales boost given the Christmas season.

The list reflects November sales from a wide range of retail outlets, including independent Christian retailers, Family Christian Stores, Walmart and Amazon, giving a bigger picture of which titles are selling. The Nielsen BookScan list online covers the top 100 best-sellers and is available here.
