Best Selling Apologetics Books of 2013
Back in 2011 and in 2012 I published blog posts based on statistics from the previous year’s Amazon affiliate links: the Best Selling Apologetics Books of 2011 and the Best Selling Apologetics Books of 2012. This year we’re doing it again, with both paper books and Kindle titles. Keep in mind that this list is only for books purchased via Apologetics 315’s links.
The best-selling books of 2013 were Greg Koukl’s excellent book Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions as well as the Kindle version of On Guard by William Lane Craig. Personally, I think Cold-Case Christianity by J. Warner Wallace deserves to be book of the year.
So here’s the list of the 15 top-selling paper books through Apologetics 315 in 2013, based upon those purchased through Ap315’s affiliate links:

It was clear to me that many of the paper book sales were favoring those that may have been purchased in larger quantities for books studies. As for Kindle books, the ones that had been on sale in some way or which were heavily tweeted did very well.
