Bible Sales Soar in the U.K. and U.S. Signaling a Global Spiritual Awakening

(Worthy Insights) – Bible sales have nearly doubled in the United Kingdom in the past five years according to new data that reflects similar trends in the United States and indicates a growing hunger for God’s Word throughout the world. Sales of the Bible increased 87 percent in the U.K. between 2019 and 2024, according to data compiled by the Christian publisher SPCK Group using information from Nielsen Book Data. The Times newspaper in London first reported on the trend.

Books about religion are on the rise, too, in the United Kingdom, increasing 3 percent between 2023 and 2024 and bucking a nationwide decline that actually saw non-fiction book sales plummet 6 percent during that same timeframe.

The United States has seen a similar surge.

Last fall, The Wall Street Journal cited Circana BookScan book tracking data showing that Bible sales had increased 22 percent compared to the same time frame a year earlier. Similarly, the publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention said Bible sales had soared 30 percent in the past year, according to a December report. [ Source (Read More…) ]
