Unlikely Angel

On March 11, Brian Nichols, fleeing from an Atlanta courthouse after allegedly killing four people, held Ashley Smith hostage in her own home. Drawing on tremendous courage and faith, Ashley turned to her Bible and a bestselling book that has already revealed, to over 22 million people, their purpose in God's plan. As she read she convinced Nichols that God also had a purpose for him-to be captured alive and to spend his life in prison sharing the Word of God with others.Now Ashley tells us about her life, and the path that lead to this extraordinary event. Unlikely Angel, released just six months after her ordeal dominated national news, will be a blockbuster and we're promoting it aggressively with national advertising, sales promotion, and a major media blitz. This powerful book will obviously help build the success of your store. Just as important, it underscores how all of us-Zondervan authors, retailers, and readers-are instruments of change.
