It's kind of a mixed bag for John Hacker and me, as our book 5:41: Stories from the Joplin Tornado, which will be one year old in three weeks, moved up from number two last Friday to number one. While 5:41 moved up, our new book, Spirit of Hope, which was third last week, dropped to sixth. Scott Hettinger's new book, 5/22, Stories of Survival: Stories of Faith made a strong entry, placing fifth.
