Ashley Smith was held hostage in her apartment in 2005, for seven hours by Brian Nichols, who was wanted for the shooting of four people in Atlanta. Smith reported to news outlets that during this time she read chapter 32 of The Purpose Driven Life to Nichols, which she credited as influencing his decision to release her from captivity. Smith later admitted that she had also given Brian Nichols crystal methamphetamine to pacify him. Sales of The Purpose Driven Life rose greatly, with the book becoming Amazon's second best selling book after news of Smith's captivity and release was announced. Smith later released a book through HarperCollins Publishers about her life and encounter with Nichols entitled Unlikely Angel: The Untold Story of the Atlanta Hostage Hero. In the book Smith discussed her drug addiction, writing that the hostage ordeal made her aware that she was an addict. Smith has received rave reviews for her speeches in stadium-sized venues as well as more personal settings, such as inside the Women’s Detention Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Her book was the top-selling Christian title in 2005 and appeared on The New York Times Best Seller List. To book Ashley Smith for a speaking event or appearance, contact Christian Speakers 360.
