The cover was designed by Beth Sparkman, who sent me this behind-the-scenes note about the cover design: "This image just jumped out at me as being so far out, and then when I scribbled the beard and hair on it with a half-dried up marker it got even more bizarre! But I thought it fit the wildness of the book so showed it to Nancy [marketing director at Tyndale] and Sarah [Tyndale acquisitions editor]. The rest is history. . ."
The picture should show up in places like Amazon starting next week. You can preorder Imaginary Jesus
on Amazon and they will give you the lowest price between now and the release date in April!
Notice also the official tag line... brought to us by the ridiculously clever Sarah Atkinson.
Hope you enjoyed this little sneak preview. Now go out there, get a sharpie, and deface some posters.
Awesome. I feel like I know him.
ReplyDeleteI liked this cover and the Kavalier and Clayish looking one they made. This one is definitely more of an eye catcher.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I would definitely pick it up to read the back!
ReplyDeleteDude...freakin' awesome-o-grande.
ReplyDeleteThis totally made my day! I can't wait to read it. Although, I am curious at the other covers that didn't make the cut...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love it!
ReplyDeletei love this. :)
ReplyDeletecongrats matt! can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteWho knew your imaginary jesus looked like Danny Bonaduce.
ReplyDeleteOkay At least today on amazon, it seems that all the related items purchased by same people who pre-ordered your books are books by John Eldredge or his wife. Don’t you at least find that ironic?
