john-ortberg-soul-keepingJohn Ortberg’s Soul Keeping: Caring for the Most Important Part of You has sold more than 100,000 copies since its April 2014 release.

David Morris, vice president and publisher at Zondervan, commented on the success.

“We’re delighted at the continued response to this title,” Morris said. “The soul matters. Eternity matters. Fresh but substantive, thoughtful insight on this topic from John Ortberg is just what today’s readers need.”

In addition to book sales, over 40,000 study guides have been sold, and 20,000 copies of a related booklet, You Have a Soul: It Weighs Nothing but Means Everything, have been sold at $2.99 retail, helping to spur sales of the hardcover edition.
