Bestsellers: 'Standing for Something,' New Titles Hit LDS Bestseller List

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The paperback version of LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley's book, "Standing for Something" jumped to the top of the LDS bestseller list, but remains off the national bestseller lists. The book was joined on the LDS bestseller lists by a number of newly released titles, including books by L. Tom Perry, Neal A. Maxwell and James E. Faust.

Meanwhile, the national lists weren't entirely quiet either, as the forthcoming book by Mormon investment guru Wade Cook hit Amazon's 'Tomorrow's Bestsellers' list, while Orson Scott Card's "Shadow of the Hegemon" returned to Amazon's Fiction Hardcover list.

The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:

Nothing Like it in the World, by Stephen Ambrose

A history of the building of the transcontinental railroad in the US. Ambrose, a highly regarded historian, details the involvement of Mormons in building crucial portions of the road, including the driving of the "golden spike" in the heart of Mormon territory.
