Bestsellers: 'Expressions of Faith' Repeats at #1, 'First Vision' Debuts at #3
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The compilation of artwork by Greg Olsen
"Expressions of Faith" stayed at #1 on the LDS Bestsellers list while
the new children's book "The First Vision" debuted at #3 on the list
and "The Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley" remained at #2. This
represents the first time that the nascent list has remained this
stable from week to week. Meanwhile, the Mormon titles on the
national bestseller lists are nothing but stable,with both "Nothing
Like it in the World" and Stephen Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly
Effective People" remaining on the lists in about the same position.
Also new on the LDS Bestsellers list is Deseret Book's recently
released "GospeLink 2001 Demo Version" a $5 60-day trial to the
computer resource and the compilation CD "Women of Destiny." However,
with the LDS Church's General Conference approaching, the list may
see significant changes over the next week as sales from conference
weekend are reflected. Many LDS retailers, especially in Utah,
organize special events at Conference time.
The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:
