Nunes' 'This Time Forever' Rockets to Top of LDS List
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Rachel Ann Nunes' newly-released book "This
Time Forever" jumped to the top of the LDS bestseller list in the new
lists' second week, while LDS author James Michael Pratt's latest
book, "The Lighthouse Keeper" appeared on the USA Today bestseller
list, also just after it was released by St. Martins Press.
The just-released "This Time Forever" is Nunes' 10th novel, and its
appearance at the top of the list just after the book was released
solidifies her place as one of the most popular of LDS authors. Like
her other books, "This Time Forever" looks at the continuing trials
of an LDS family and their friends and acquaintances as they seek for
love and salvation.
Pratt's "Lighthouse Keeper" is also the latest of his books, and like
the others is a sentimental look at human relationships. In this
case, the book looks at the O'Banyon family, which over several
generations and two World Wars tends a lighthouse.
The other titles on the national bestseller lists all stayed on at
least one list or another. On the LDS list, the largest move, after
Nunes' book, was by W. Jeffrey Marsh's book, "The Light Within: What
the Prophet Joseph Smith Taught Us About Personal Revelation," which
looks at the doctrine of personal revelation.
The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:
