Author friends have warned me not to get hooked on Amazon, but since yesterday's crazy observation that Rethinking Worldview was higher on the bestseller list (albeit for a brief instant) than Calvin and Thomas a Kempis made that impossible. I checked again today, and found to my horror that things have gotten worse.
Consider this:
And this:
Somehow I've overtaken J. I. Packer's Knowing God and St. Augustine's City of God. Crazy, huh? Is this a portent of the End Times? More likely, it's a reflection of how easily a few sales can move a book up the rankings. I promise not to keep updating these reports, but let me take this opportunity to say: buy the classics.
I'm grateful to everyone who's helped make Rethinking Worldview a success, and one of my hopes is that it will encourage readers to go on to bigger and better books!
