Dove Award-winner Phil Wickham’s first book, On Our Knees: 40 Days to Living Boldly in Prayer, charts at number #25 on the Hardcover Nonfiction list from Publishers Weekly
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 10, 2022) – Phil Wickham has achieved bestselling author status after his new devotional climbed the ranks of the Publishers Weekly Hardcover Frontlist Nonfiction chart. Peaking at #25 the week of October 10th, On Our Knees: 40 Days to Living Boldly in Prayer is Wickham’s first book. The book also debuted at #36 on the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association’s (ECPA) Bestsellers list in October 2022. Both the Publishers Weekly and ECPA lists are based on weekly and monthly sales data from NPD Bookscan, a division of NPD Book.
“The response to On Our Knees has been overwhelming and humbling,” says the Dove Award-winner and best-selling recording artist. “I set out to create something that could be a resource for anyone who’s looking to connect with God or grow deeper in their faith.”
Wickham treated fans in Los Angeles, CA, to a special launch event at Barnes & Noble on September 27, 2022. Over 100 people packed the bookstore located at The Grove to hear the musician talk about the new book. Also on release day, readers who pre-ordered the book tuned in to an exclusive livestream for a book discussion, Q&A, and mini concert with Phil.
“Phil Wickham has created a beautiful way to guide people in worship through prayer in On Our Knees,” said K-LOVE Books publisher Dave Schroeder. “It’s a daily reminder in prayer that the battle does indeed belong to God–we are thrilled by the response from readers.”
Phil will continue to promote the book alongside his new music when he hits the road for his Behold Christmas Tour in December and the Singalong Tour in 2023.
