Bible sales spiked in the month of September, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to a report.
The 2.4 million copies sold in the U.S. this September was a 36% jump from the same month last year, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited data from book sales tracking system Circana BookScan.
"September brought a wave of troubling events—violence, geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty—underscoring a pattern: In times of crisis, more people turn to faith for comfort and support," Brenna Connor, an analyst at Circana BookScan, told the newspaper.
Kirk, a devout Christian, was open about his religious convictions, advocating for abstinence and defending traditional marriage.
