The book went on to receive gleaming reviews through the publishing trade and Catholic media, and coupled with strong word of mouth, shot up the best seller lists of Amazon, Borders, and Barnes and Noble. A second edition of Gut Check was released by Ransom Books in December of 2008, and sold out five hardcover printings. On May 1st, 2010, Ransom Books released Gut Check in paperback. Saab spent the majority of 2008 traveling throughout the US and Canada promoting Gut Check and sharing his story with thousands of people.
