The author says:
The book presents a Christian covenant-based view of financial success, arguing that wealth is primarily a spiritual matter rather than merely an economic one. According to the author, financial prosperity flows from: Having a God-given purpose and vision. Living in covenant relationship with God. Practicing biblical giving (tithes, offerings, generosity). Walking in wisdom. Exercising faith. Practicing prudence and avoiding waste. Developing spiritual and practical ability (“power to get wealth”).
Nathan says:
If the book is so consistently Christian as the description states, why is there so so little indication of it on the cover? Prospective readers would complain of a bait-and-switch, and they would be right.
Even just a single Christian symbol added…
…could make a big difference.
And if you wanted to rework the cover entirely, there are plenty of visual possibilities. The one that comes to mind immediately is “loaves and fishes.”
Other comments?
I agree with Nathan: there isn’t a clue on the cover suggesting any connection with Christianity. Nor am I sure that adding the flourishes to the title—the extended bar on the “F” and the superimposed textures—really add anything significant.
I suppose those little pellets in the hand are meant to be seeds—with perhaps some connection to a Biblical passage—but one has to look closely to make them out in the first place (and a cover needs to work at a glance) and in the second place I think one has to be already aware of the nature of the book to realize what their significance is.
I don’t have much to say or much time to say it, so I’ll be brief: about the only professionally published books about Christian economics and finance and other such monetary topics I’ve ever seen were by the late great (albeit a bit blustery) Gary North. Of them, the two I’ve found available on a mainstream book sales site (Amazon.com specifically) are An Introduction to Christian Economics and Honest Money: The Biblical Blueprint for Money and Banking, each of which were published with a cover showing a Bible (the book on one and a couple of its pages on the other) and some coinage. My recommendation, therefore, is that you also put a Bible and some coinage on your cover; and if you go with the Bible pages, have the pages very obviously contain one of the passages having something to do with money as with that latter work of Gary North’s.
