I\u2019ve been writing a book this past year<\/a>, and have spent the last few months crystallizing edits with my powerhouse team at Tyndale<\/a>. It\u2019s hard to believe that nine months have passed since I signed the contract;\u00a0we have less time than that before it releases in April of 2017!<\/p>\n

One thing that I\u2019ve loved about the process of seeing this book come to life has been the excitement generated around the cover.<\/strong> I\u2019ll share more later, but Tyndale walked me through a really helpful and empowering process when it came to designing the cover of this book. Although their design team creates the cover, as an author I had a clear hand in the tone and feel of the design, which I was deeply thankful for.<\/p>\nThe #stillwaitingbook cover reveal! <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

The cover matters so much to me because as much as we say otherwise, the truth is that we really do<\/em> judge a book by its cover. Whether we\u2019re perusing the stacks at a bookstore or clicking through pages online, it’s the front of a book that initially draws us in or pushes us away. My hope is that this cover will draw you in and thrill you as much as it has thrilled me!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I won\u2019t keep you waiting any longer. Here it is!<\/p>\n

\"Still<\/a><\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it beautiful? This cover encapsulates so much about Still Waiting<\/em> in one image.<\/strong> I\u2019m amazed at how the design team captured both the beauty and the ache of trusting God; they nailed the feeling of yearning<\/em>, and yet the rich colors point to the vibrancy that can be found even in waiting seasons. The handwritten title adds a softness to the cover without being overly dramatic.<\/p>\n

In short: I love it. LOVE IT.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This cover blew me away the first time I saw it, and I\u2019m so thankful that it will be the \u201cface\u201d of my first book. I\u2019ll be sharing more about the book-writing process in the months ahead, but I wanted to let you be the first ones to catch a glimpse of the cover!<\/p>\n
