The Bible – already the best-selling book of all time with more than 5 billion copies estimated sold – is seeing a huge increase in interest. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Bible sales rose 22% in the U.S. through October 2024 compared with the same period last year, according to book tracker Circana BookScan. Among Catholics, some of that increase can be attributed to the popularity of Minnesota priest Father Mike Schmitz’s “Bible in a Year” podcast, the release of beautiful new editions from Ignatius Press and the prevalence of study editions that help readers better connect the dots between the Old and New Testaments. If reading more of the Bible was on your New Year’s resolution list, here is some advice on where to start and some ideas to make it easier.
