Catholic Bestsellers
MAY 2009

Every month your local independent Catholic Store provides an array of new books to educate, inspire and assist in the practice of the faith. Book selection is unique to each store, and certain authors or subjects have different appeal in different stores. The Catholic Book Publishers Association provides a monthly listing of top selling books in the US and Canada. Not every member store will stock certain titles, but you can be certain they are always finding great new titles to support their customers.

This list is based on publisher reports of all orders—including orders from general interest, Catholic and Christian stores—in the U.S. and Canada for titles published by members of the Catholic Book Publishers Association.
