It took a murder for folks to find God? On Monday, October 20. 2025 Daily Caller News Foundation ran an article headlined, “US Bible Sales Soar After Charlie Kirk Assassination.”
Bible sales in the U.S. jumped in the wake of the Sept. 10 assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Monday.
In September, 2.4 million Bibles were sold across the nation, marking a 36% increase from the same month in 2024, the WSJ reported, citing data from book tracker Circana BookScan. This number marked the largest month of Bible sales thus far in 2025, according to the WSJ.
“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, said, as reported by the WSJ.
Bible sales saw an 11% rise through the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period of time in 2024, according to the WSJ. Meanwhile, print sales in the U.S. declined 1% during the time period, the outlet reported.
The report comes after Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. Kirk was known for publicly discussing his Christian faith.
“This could be a good thing, and yet again, it could be a bad thing.” Thomas Robb, National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, and Pastor of the Christian Revival Center, both located centrally in Harrison, Arkansas. “People are beginning to see the things I said were coming (who ignored me and called me a racist) decades ago. Now they’re running for Bibles. Again, I say Christians are under attack! Now once you get your shiny new Bible be careful who you let interpret it to you. Some believe they are doing God’s will because they attend church every Sunday. When you go this Sunday, look around the congregation. If you see non-white people, and/or homosexuals among you, you may as well return your new Bible because you are being fed lies. The head of your church may not even know that he/she isn’t teaching God’s true word. If you want to hear God’s true word, listen to my Sunday service. Of course not everyone can get to Harrison to attend in person, but I have a very large online congregation. You can hear my services on YouTube. Get on YouTube and search for ‘Christian Revival Center in Harrison, Arkansas’. Be sure to add the ‘Harrison, Arkansas’ in your search. Listen to some of them and I’ll bet your eyes will open up and things that you were taught were ok, are just the opposite. I can plant the seed, then it’s up to God to water that seed.”
