I get two kinds of comments<\/b> about my latest book, O Me of Little Faith<\/i><\/a>. The first is the you-write-like-you’re-in-my-head<\/i> kind from people who can identify with my doubting and have been living the same spiritual questions. I’m always glad to hear from these readers. <\/p>\n

The second kind is from people who just want to tell me how awesome the cover is.<\/p>\n

I like hearing from them, too, because I’m hoping they’ll judge the book by its cover. I had nothing to do with the cover photo, but I always agree that, yes, it is awesome.<\/p>\n

My readers and I aren’t the only ones who think so.<\/b> The Communication Arts<\/a> Photography Annual released this month and one of its winning photos is the one from the cover of OMOLF. The image was taken in Grand Rapids by photographer Steven Wohlwender<\/a>, and I’m thrilled he’s getting some recognition for such a great image.<\/p>\n

Here’s the CA page that features the cover photo:<\/p>\n

Congrats, Steven.<\/b> In my former life as a graphic designer, I used to dream of getting my work in CA. This isn’t quite the same, but it’s close enough. I’ll take it.<\/p>\n
