Christian author and speaker Priscilla Shirer has achieved a significant feat, reaching the milestone of selling one million copies of her Bible study book, The Armor of God.
Although The Armor of God appears to have officially hit the mark near the end of 2023, celebratory photos were shared with her ministry’s 1.2 million followers on Facebook on Feb 12. The images featured a caption congratulating the New York Times bestselling author for hitting platinum status.
“We’re amazed by how God continues to use this resource to bless so many, and we’re hopeful YOU are one of them,” read the statement on the Going Beyond Ministries Facebook page. “It’s a blessing to share the truths of His Word, especially Eph 6:10-19!”
The Armor of God Bible study, based on Ephesians 6:10-19, equips women with spiritual tools to navigate life’s battles. The book delves into the six pieces of spiritual armor described in Ephesians, helping women understand their significance and apply them to everyday challenges.
Initially published in 2015, The Armor of God is Shirer’s second book to sell over one million copies. According to the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association’s Top Selling Christian Books list, Fervent: A Woman’s Battle Plan to Serious, Specific, and Strategic Prayer hit platinum status in 2018. Fervent was published three years prior as a tie-in to the popular movie War Room, in which Shirer has a starring role.
This latest million-copy milestone reflects Shirer’s message’s impact on countless lives. Both books, The Armor of God and Fervent, are routinely among bestsellers on Amazon’s Christian Books & Bibles sections.
