Bestsellers: Evans' New Book Looks At His Own Experiences

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Richard Paul Evans, author of the runaway bestseller "The Christmas Box," has a new book on the best seller lists -- but one that addresses the previous bestseller. In "The Christmas Box Miracle" Evans looks at his own experiences as "The Christmas Box" went from a modest self-published book to become a runaway bestseller. The other books on national bestseller lists are also familiar. Stephen R. Covey's "Seven Habits" is still there, and Stephen Ambrose's "Nothing Like It In The World," which is back in paperback.

Evans, an LDS Church member, tells his own story, from his youth in a Mormon household, through his mother's loss of a stillborn daughter, severe depression and suicidal tendencies. Evans shows how these and other experiences led him to write a novel that brings healing and hope to life.

Mormon News is experiencing logistical problems with the LDS bestseller lists, but we expect that they will return shortly also.

The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:
