Sales of Bibles in the United States have surged 22 percent through the end of October compared to the same period last year. This rise comes despite overall print book sales increasing by less than 1 percent during the same timeframe, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal citing data by Circana BookScan.
Experts and industry insiders attribute the growth in Bible sales to societal anxieties and a search for hope. “People are experiencing anxiety themselves, or they’re worried for their children and grandchildren,” Jeff Crosby, president of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association told the Wall Street Journal. “It’s related to artificial intelligence, election cycles… and all of that feeds a desire for assurance that we’re going to be OK.”
Bethany Martin, manager of Faith & Life Bookstore in Newton, Kansas, noted that many of her customers are first-time Bible buyers. “They’re looking for hope with the world the way it is, and the Bible is what they’re reaching for,” she said. Her store carries over 270 versions of the Bible in various sizes and price points.
The increase in Bible sales comes despite data showing a rise in secularism in the US. A Pew Research Center study found that roughly 28 percent of US adults now identify as religiously unaffiliated. Despite this trend, Bible sales reached 14.2 million copies in 2023, a significant increase from 9.7 million in 2019. By October of this year, 13.7 million copies had already been sold.
In addition to Bibles, there is a growing demand for related literature that provides context and guidance for scripture study. Print editions designed for note-taking have gained popularity, and so have audiobooks. Even mainstream retailers and platforms like Amazon report strong Bible sales, driven in part by influencers, podcasters, and TikTok creators who share Bible stories and study tips with their audiences.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
