August 21, 2026 — Grammy nominated worship leader Phil Wickham’s new book, EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH: Unlocking Deep Joy Through Everyday Acts of Worship, made an impressive debut across three major national bestseller lists, landing at #4 on The New York Times Best Sellers list, #2 on Publishers Weekly’s bestseller list, and #97 on the USA TODAY Bestselling Booklist. After learning that EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH had become a New York Times bestseller, Phil shared the news with his combined 6.4 million social media followers in a heartfelt post thanking the fans, followers, and readers who supported the book. He also reflected on what the milestone means beyond the recognition itself: the opportunity for EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH to reach people who may never have considered picking up a book about Jesus and invite them into its message of faith, worship, and joy.
“I’m honestly still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Everyday Hallelujah is a New York Times bestseller. This wasn’t even on my radar when I wrote this book, so to see it on the list after just one week is completely blowing my mind. More than anything, I’m just so grateful that these words are already connecting with so many people. And I love thinking that being on this list might put the book in front of someone outside my normal world, someone who may not usually pick up a book about faith or Jesus, and invite them to discover what it means to live out their ‘everyday hallelujah.’ I’m so grateful, and truthfully kind of emotional over God’s grace and kindness in it all. I can’t wait to see where He takes it from here,” said Wickham.
In EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH, Wickham expands the conversation beyond music and into the rhythms of daily living, exploring how worship is not confined to church services or moments on stage but expressed through ordinary acts of faith, gratitude, and surrender. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and 20 years of leading worship around the world, he reframes worship as a posture of the heart that can transform work, family life, relationships, and even seasons of struggle. The book traces a biblical vision of worship from Genesis to Revelation while offering readers a practical and deeply personal pathway to experience God’s presence in everyday moments. The message resonates with audiences navigating a culture marked by distraction and pressure, inviting them into a more grounded and enduring sense of joy, purpose, and connection with God.
The release also marks a unique intersection of Wickham’s music and writing. The book directly inspired his new single “Everyday Hallelujah,” which has already begun connecting with audiences. Performing the song in an intimate acoustic setting during the Song Of The Saints Tour has also brought the core message of the book to life, creating a cohesive experience that bridges worship music and spiritual formation. Together, the song and book reflect a unified vision that encourages people to see every moment as an opportunity for worship.
“In EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH, Phil Wickham reminds readers that worship isn’t characterized by certain creative expressions or moments, but instead is a beautiful, powerful part of daily life,” said Andrew Stoddard, VP and Publisher of Nelson Books. “We are proud to publish Phil and we believe that this book will inspire and encourage readers to encounter God in a meaningful way every day.”
This fall, Wickham will continue leading worship across the country on the Song of the Saints Tour with Chandler Moore and special guest Jamie MacDonald. For tour dates, tickets, and additional information, visit philwickham.com.
