Jonathan Cahn’s prophetic, warning-to-America novel has sold more than 1 million copies in a year

Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s novel, The Harbinger, marks a milestone in 2012 as the longest-running Christian title on the New York Times Paperback Trade Fiction list. The book has also sold more than 1 million copies.

The FrontLine/Charisma House Book Group title has ranked for 55 weeks on the best-seller list, placing at No. 12 on the Feb. 3 list. Cahn told Christian Retailing that The Harbinger was “a God thing.”

“I knew that the story of The Harbinger would go forth,” he said. “What surprised me is how it became a best-seller. The whole phenomenon has amazed me. I’m sure there will be a sequel to The Harbinger. As far as the timing, I’m waiting on the Lord. There’s so much more to tell. Since The Harbinger came out, what is in the book is coming true.”

Released Jan. 3, 2012, the novel has gone to print 17 times.

“The success of The Harbinger is not just to be attributed to the efforts of our company or to Jonathan Cahn’s impeccable skills as a communicator and teacher,” said Tessie DeVore, executive vice president, Charisma House, the book group of Charisma Media.

The prophetic novel that is a warning to America has ranked on USA Today’s Best-Selling Books for 54 weeks and was No. 87 on the Jan. 24 list.

In the Christian market, the book has placed regularly on the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) Christian Best-sellers list, ranking at No. 1 on the February 2013 Fiction list and at No. 11 on the General list. It was also No. 6 on the latest CBA best-seller list.

“Selling more than 1 million copies of The Harbinger is a reflection of the interest by many who have been gripped by the uncanny scriptural parallels to what’s happened in current events,” said Tessie DeVore, executive vice president, Charisma House, the book group of Charisma Media. “What makes this milestone even more gratifying is to know that people are not only learning about these mysteries, but are also praying for America.”

The Harbinger Companion With Study Guide, also from FrontLine, gives the story behind the story, taking readers deeper into the prophecy in the novel. Featuring a 13-week study guide, photos of the actual harbingers, articles, maps and more, the companion work was released Jan. 8.
