(COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 1/27/2025)—WaterBrook, an imprint of PRH Christian Publishing Group, congratulates Jennie Allen, founder and visionary of IF:Gathering and Gather25, on the fifth anniversary of her blockbuster New York Times Bestseller, Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts, and its phenomenal success of 1.4 million copies sold in all formats.
Released January 28, 2020, Get Out of Your Head was an instant national bestseller and went on to appear on the New York Times bestseller list for 36 weeks, along with appearances on bestseller lists for USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and ECPA. On ECPA’s annual list, it was the top-selling new book of 2020. Get Out of Your Head continues to appear on ECPA’s monthly top 50 bestseller list. As of January 2025, it has made 60 consecutive appearances in total.
Get Out of Your Head was also named one of the Best Books of 2020 by both Amazon and Barnes & Noble and was nominated for a Good Reads Readers Choice Award.
“Get Out of Your Head has been one of the most transformative publications of the last decade,” says Campbell Wharton, SVP Publisher, Penguin Random House Christian. “We are incredibly grateful to have been on this journey with Jennie and her team. It has transcended the Christian Living category and is now being discovered everywhere by believers and nonbelievers. As one online reviewer rightly summed it up: “this is not just a book; it’s a lifeline.”
Released a mere few weeks in advance of the onset of the Covid pandemic, Allen’s book hit the cultural zeitgeist as it coached readers on how to take captive the spiral of toxic or negative thinking. Get Out of Your Head focuses on the battle for our thoughts and the impact they have on our lives. Through practical strategies and biblical insights, Allen inspires readers to reclaim their thoughts and experience freedom and hope amidst chaos.
“I am so grateful for this work and how it keeps blessing people! It’s humbling to see how God has brought freedom and hope to so many, including me,” says Jennie Allen. “My prayer is that it continues to remind us that we have the God-given power to fight back.”
“The continued momentum of Get Out of Your Head underscores Jennie’s remarkable ability to craft profound, timeless content that speaks to the deepest concerns of her readers,” says Laura Baker, VP, Publisher PRH Christian and editor for Get Out of Your Head.
