Charlie Kirk's Book on the Sabbath Becomes a Posthumous Bestseller
Just months before its official release, a book by the late Charlie Kirk on his practice of keeping a Jewish Sabbath has soared to the top of bestseller lists, introducing his message of digital disconnection and spiritual rest to a new audience.
In an unprecedented turn of events, a book by the late conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk, has become a bestseller months before its official release. The book, titled Stop, in the Name of G-d: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life, explores Kirk’s personal practice of keeping a Jewish Sabbath from Friday evening to Saturday night, a discipline he had long encouraged others to adopt.
Kirk was in the middle of writing the book when he passed away, but his message is now reaching millions. He believed a weekly, tech-free Sabbath would "ease anxiety, combat depression, and restore health to American families." In a recent public address, he stated, "Every Friday night, I keep a Jewish Sabbath. I turn off my phone, Friday night to Saturday night. The world cannot reach me, and I get nothing from the world. It will bless you infinitely."
Published by Winning Team Publishing, the conservative publishing house founded by Donald Trump Jr., the book posthumously soared to the top of Amazon’s bestsellers list. The book frames the Sabbath not just as a religious observance but as a "radical act of resistance" against a culture dominated by constant noise, digital overload, and an unending need for busyness. Kirk’s writing explores the biblical and historical roots of the practice, stating that honouring the Sabbath "restores balance, reduces anxiety, and nourishes your soul."
Publisher notes for the book emphasize its message as a "lifeline to reclaiming what truly matters." The book, which is available now for pre-order through major retailers, is already being hailed as a significant cultural and religious title for the year.
