Joshua Giles’ ‘When God Speaks’ debuts at number eight on The New York Times bestseller list

Lake Mary, FL - Embolden Media Group, the literary agency representing author, Joshua Giles recently announced that his latest book, When God Speaks: Thrive in Uncertain Times and Gain Confidence for Your Future debuted at number eight on the New York Times bestseller list in the Advice, How-To & Miscellaneous category. 

Published on March 4, 2025, by Chosen Books, an imprint of Baker Publishing Group, When God Speaks debuted on the NYT bestseller list a week after release and number six on Publishers Weekly Top Hardcover Frontlist Nonfiction bestsellers list.

The book offers practical, transformative insights on how readers can hear God consistently, understand His future plans and apply divine wisdom to their lives and world.

“I was so focused on sharing the book’s message that I was totally surprised to see that I made the New York Times Bestseller List,” said Giles, founder and lead pastor of Kingdom Embassy Worship Center. “My team and I are deeply grateful and amazed to see so many people embracing the book and its message.”

Jevon Bolden, CEO of Embolden Media Group shared her excitement about the books success and said, "I am thrilled that it was this book—When God Speaks—that made the list. It is an incredibly important message bringing hope, clarity, and direction at a critical time in our world.” She added, “Joshua approached me in September 2019 with a commission from God to ‘mainstream the prophetic.’ He told me, ‘I’ve seen what you’ve done with authors—John Eckhardt and Michelle McClain Walters—I want you to do the same with me.’ Since then, the work has been God-led, strategic, and incremental. Joshua is focused and works harder than most would realize. This is a well-deserved acknowledgment.” 

Already a best-selling author on ECPA, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today best-seller lists, Giles is set to expand his impact with a new publishing partnership with Penguin Random House Christian Publishing, which will release two new books starting in Spring 2026.
