The background of the cover is the artist's idea, actually. When I wrote the book I was tempted to create an alternate Africa that Native Americans or Asians had conquered. But then the editor thought it best if we just weren't so specific. So the cover has a kind of desert, or African or non-earthly feel. Could be a temple in Africa or an odd building on some far-off planet.

I just finished the bandwagon-follower book "Blue Like Jazz" and he proposes something very similar. <br /><br />Why is it that Christian in America so often only have a few main issues and ignore the rest? Does God care more about homosexuality and gay marriage and abortion and less about the poor and disenfranchised? The church should take bold stands on issues, but lets be a bit more well rounded.<br /><br />Congrats on the upcoming book. Can you explain the cover? I can't quite make out the building in the background...babatimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132877644009713252noreply@blogger.com
