IVP estimates that at least 15,000 counterfeit copies of Liturgy of the Ordinary were sold on the site over the past nine months, their retail value totaling $240,000. That nearly cuts sales of Warren\u2019s book in half; IVP reported 23,000 legitimate copies were sold over the past year. IVP also found evidence of counterfeiting on a smaller scale for one other title, Michael Reeves\u2019s Delighting in the Trinity, which came out in 2002.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been constantly thinking of the verse about, \u2018Do not store up treasures where moths and rust can destroy, and where thieves can steal, but store up your treasures where moths and rust cannot destroy and thieves cannot steal\u2019 (Matt. 6:19\u201320), and it\u2019s really hard to process,\u201d Warren told CT last week, a day after she learned about the scope of the fraud when IVP officials called her at her home in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a huge loss of money for my family. Percentagewise of what I make as a writer, it\u2019s an enormous amount of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
