I love them all but if I have to choose one I would choose B. I am so excited. Cannot wait to order some xxoo
October 29th, 2020 at 9:51 am
Thank you so much Michelle! I’m so happy that the cover overall feels good to you! YAY!
October 29th, 2020 at 9:45 am
option A
October 29th, 2020 at 9:50 am
Thanks so much for voting!
October 29th, 2020 at 9:46 am
Option B
October 29th, 2020 at 9:50 am
Thanks Teresa! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 9:47 am
I vote for Option C. It’s strong, but still gentle, like the practice itself. xox
October 29th, 2020 at 9:50 am
Thanks Deb! Means a lot to hear your reasoning too!
October 29th, 2020 at 9:48 am

October 29th, 2020 at 9:49 am
Thanks Hope!
October 29th, 2020 at 9:49 am
I vote for cover B. ??
October 29th, 2020 at 9:55 am
Thanks Sherie! Really appreciate it!
October 29th, 2020 at 9:50 am
I vote for B! It feels the most balanced but also popped the most (got my attention).
October 29th, 2020 at 9:51 am
That’s great to hear! Yes, looking for what grabs you most! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 9:59 am
A
October 29th, 2020 at 10:00 am
Thanks Mary! I appreciate it!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:08 am
Beautiful!!!! I think option B looked the most balanced and it made the most sense to have the “author of… “ part right there with your name. It’s like a complete thought.
So happy for you and proud of you!!!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:09 am
Option B! May the Lord bless your endeavours.
October 29th, 2020 at 10:10 am
I love B! Thank you for being such ray of sunshine in this crazy world! ??
October 29th, 2020 at 12:18 pm
Girl, I’m just giving you the BIGGEST hug! Thank you! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 10:11 am
I think Option B is the best. Love the background.
October 29th, 2020 at 12:18 pm
Thanks so much Larry! Love that you mention the background too! Brian actually painted it by hand on canvas with several layers of colors and textures!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:15 am
So hard to choose. But I vote B.
October 29th, 2020 at 10:24 am
Either B or C. I think 4 Minutes should be the focus, and A doesn’t do that for me.
October 29th, 2020 at 10:29 am
My vote is for C. It most symmetrical for me and forces me to read the full title without pause. Also I like the other book you authored referenced at the top.
October 29th, 2020 at 12:17 pm
Thanks so much for giving me this feedback! Means a lot! Love you girl!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:31 am
Me Ra, I’m soooo excited for you!!!
I like them all, but if I had to pick one, I would choose ‘C’.
I see more of the open ‘space’ (sky?)….to me it says ’calm’, ‘peace’.
With you in spirit, as we anxiously await the birth….????

Option B
October 29th, 2020 at 10:41 am
I like the graphics on A. You may want to consider making stopwatch bigger to include an older audience, like me:-)
October 29th, 2020 at 12:20 pm
Thanks so much Renee! Means a lot to have you chime in!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:43 am
B’s balance!
All look beautiful. I hope there will be an author image. Always love seeing you’re glow.
October 29th, 2020 at 10:46 am
Hi Me Ra,
I like B. I think it fills the space better. I like the emphasis on 4 minutes. So excited for you! Can’t wait to have it in my hands!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:48 am
A! What would A look like if the bestselling line is under your name at the bottom, then shift everything up a bit??? 🙂
October 29th, 2020 at 12:20 pm
So interesting! Thank you girl! Will try!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:49 am
Option B
October 29th, 2020 at 12:16 pm
Yay! Thank you sweet Karen! Means a lot! Love you guys!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:51 am
Love this cover! So excited for you and I can’t wait to read it!
I like option B
October 29th, 2020 at 12:16 pm
Thank you for chiming in girl! Means so much!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:53 am
I love all 3 of them especially the background – so peaceful. My favorite is A.
October 29th, 2020 at 12:16 pm
Oh my gosh, I LOVE that you said that Tanya! Brian actually PAINTED the background by hand! Isn’t that cool! It’s several layers of color and texture!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:56 am
I love option C. It feels more calm, balanced, and visually appealing. The large 4 in option b feels too jarring and separate, in my opinion. Can’t wait to read this! 🙂
October 29th, 2020 at 12:15 pm
Thanks for the feedback Molly! So appreciated!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:03 am
I go for Option C.
Excited for you!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:14 pm
That means the WORLD! Thank you so much!!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:03 am
Option B – gets your attention!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:14 pm
Such helpful feedback! Thank you Maryruth!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:07 am
Option A. So excited about this book!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:14 pm
Thanks Allison! Your support means everything!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:08 am
B – It caught my attention first. Congrats!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:14 pm
So good to know! Thanks Kara!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:10 am
Option B!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:13 pm
Thank you so much girl! I can’t wait for you guys to have this book! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 11:10 am
Option B
October 29th, 2020 at 12:13 pm
Awesome! Thanks Amy!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:14 am
Option B! Best wishes!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:13 pm
Thank you so much Morgan! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 11:32 am
Option B. I love you!!!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:12 pm
Thank you girl! I can’t WAIT for you to read this!!! YAY!!!!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:49 am
Option A – can’t wait to get it MeRa!! Congratulations!!!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:12 pm
Thank you so much Olga! Your excitement means THE WORLD! Truly!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:52 am
Option C with Beauty restored under your name 🙂
October 29th, 2020 at 12:12 pm
Nice! Thanks cuz! Love you guys! So EXCITED for you to have this book!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:53 am
I like A ! It will be a best seller no matter what 🙂
October 29th, 2020 at 12:11 pm
I receive that girl! YES!!!
October 29th, 2020 at 11:55 am
Option B.
I think that the stopwatch benefits from the reinforcement of the large “4 minutes” lettering.
October 29th, 2020 at 12:11 pm
Thanks for the feedback Bob!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:04 pm
I would say C. So excited to read the book!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:10 pm
Yay!!!! Melissa! Sending you a BIG hug! Thanks for chiming in!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:05 pm
B- but bump up the point size on your name
October 29th, 2020 at 12:10 pm
Thanks Marybeth! Super helpful!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:05 pm
All 3 options are great, although my eye is drawn quicker to Option B.
Looking forward to reading and absorbing your book!
Pam G.
October 29th, 2020 at 12:10 pm
Thanks so much Pam!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:07 pm
Option A
October 29th, 2020 at 12:09 pm
Thanks Stefanie! So sweet of you to chime in! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 12:19 pm
They’re all great but A seems most eye catching.. 4 really pops!
October 29th, 2020 at 3:19 pm
Thank you so much!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:21 pm
By all means, B! The two most important things on the cover are ‘4’ and ‘God’ and the ‘4’ points upward or above, which is how we almost immediately think of God….usually secondarily realizing He is EVERYWHERE.
October 29th, 2020 at 3:18 pm
Love your thought process! Thank you!!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:43 pm
B
October 29th, 2020 at 3:18 pm
Thanks Kim!
October 29th, 2020 at 12:45 pm
You are always an “A” with me, dear Me Ra, but my choice here is option “B.” 😀
October 29th, 2020 at 3:18 pm
JANE!!! You are so funny! Thank you for voting! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 1:42 pm
B is my choice, C a distant second, and A is my least favorite. Your name is given less prominence than it deserves, though, so I’d suggest moving it and the watch up a bit and increasing its font size. Is your smiling, encouraging face on the outside back cover? Your fans, current and undiscovered, relate to your approachable style. Don’t make it difficult to realize this book is from you! Congratulations!
October 29th, 2020 at 3:17 pm
Oh my goodness, you are so amazing Dianne! Thank you for this helpful feedback! It means so much! Brian took a really great portrait of me for the back of the cover that communicates approachability and joy! I love that you said all that!
October 29th, 2020 at 1:44 pm
Option B! 🙂
October 29th, 2020 at 2:56 pm
Thank you Megan! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 1:51 pm
Option C is my choice. Balanced presentation and easily grasped. As an aside, I was JUST recommending Beauty Restored to a new writing group the other day. You go girl! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 2:55 pm
No way! Are you serious?! Getting Beauty Restored updated and reprinted in early 2021 is my next passion project! Thank you for continuing to share it with others! And get this, I’m actually on Chapter 40 of a fiction book I’ve been working on for a few years! I know you appreciate that being a writer! When we had to close the sudio during quarantine, I dove into writing! Love you girl!
October 29th, 2020 at 1:55 pm
I’ll choose A because the font is the same for the whole title, not emphasizing “4 Minutes” over “To Hear… “. Wishing you all the best.
October 29th, 2020 at 2:53 pm
That’s so interesting! Thanks D!
October 29th, 2020 at 2:05 pm
Congratulations MeRa!! Voting for number 2? Can’t wait!
October 29th, 2020 at 2:53 pm
Alice! Thank you so much! So excited for you to have it! xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 2:27 pm
I like B the best. It’s bold and grabs your attention.
October 29th, 2020 at 2:53 pm
Thanks Jenny!
October 29th, 2020 at 2:34 pm
I like them all but I think B is my favorite. I like how Author of… is connected to your name ?
October 29th, 2020 at 2:53 pm
Thanks Dustin! I appreciate your thoughts! Love you girl!
October 29th, 2020 at 2:43 pm
Mera, I like option A.
October 29th, 2020 at 2:52 pm
Thanks so much Sara! I really appreciate you chiming in!xoxo
October 29th, 2020 at 3:31 pm
I vote option C. It focuses on the 4minutes but isn’t as imposing or “loud” as the 4 minutes in option B.
October 29th, 2020 at 5:19 pm
Thanks Crystal! Really appreciate you sharing!
October 29th, 2020 at 3:49 pm
I love option A! I’m on the list now too! So happy, proud and excited for you! xo
October 29th, 2020 at 5:19 pm
Yay!!! So glad you’re on the list! And thank you for chiming in too!!
October 29th, 2020 at 4:21 pm
I vote for option A. If I were scanning a bookshelf or a webpage, options B and C would draw me to read ‘4 Minutes.’ Option A draws me in to read the whole title.
October 29th, 2020 at 5:19 pm
So good to know! Thank you!
October 29th, 2020 at 5:34 pm
I like option A. Excited to read it!
October 29th, 2020 at 6:20 pm
Option C. My second choice is A. I guess that lets you know how I really feel about option B.
October 30th, 2020 at 9:44 am
Hahahaha!!! I guess it does! Man, this is going to be so hard to choose!
October 29th, 2020 at 7:37 pm
I like option C
October 30th, 2020 at 9:44 am
Thanks so much for chiming in Gwenda!
October 29th, 2020 at 9:14 pm
I love C! Can’t wait to read it!
October 30th, 2020 at 9:43 am
Thanks so much Katharine! I can’t wait for you to have it!
October 29th, 2020 at 10:19 pm
I prefer Option B. Congratulations on the book. I look forward to reading it!
October 30th, 2020 at 7:34 am
Congrats!! Our family voted for option C.
October 30th, 2020 at 9:43 am
I love that this is a FAMILY vote! You guys are so great! Thank you!
October 30th, 2020 at 12:16 pm
I prefer Option C, just because it reads with better balance. They are all nice.
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:56 pm
Thank you, Ronda!!!
October 31st, 2020 at 3:43 pm
Option A because it is different and emphasizing 4 minutes.
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:56 pm
Thanks so much Kirsten! xoxo
October 31st, 2020 at 7:48 pm
I vote for option A!
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:56 pm
Thanks Ann!
November 1st, 2020 at 9:55 am
Cover B, for sure?
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:57 pm
Thanks Anna! Are you sure though? LOL!
November 1st, 2020 at 10:10 am
Hi there, Me Ra! How are you? So excited for this book. I love option A because the word “God” is as big as the time. In the other two options, it is smaller than the time. Love to you and your fam! xoxo
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:57 pm
JYL!!! YAY!!! Can’t wait for you and your sis to have this book! You’re both going to love it! xo
November 1st, 2020 at 11:31 am
I love option B!
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:58 pm
YAY!!!! Thanks sweetie! One week away from this launching!
November 1st, 2020 at 11:46 am
Hi Me Ra, I suggest go with option 1 however put the “Author of Beauty Restored” like it is in option 2. 🙂
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:59 pm
BILL!!!! YAY!!! Thank you friend!! Can’t wait for you to read this!!!
November 1st, 2020 at 12:54 pm
I’m torn between A and C. If the 4 was a little bit smaller I’d choose A all the way. But C works nicely.
November 3rd, 2020 at 6:03 pm
Thank you so much Julie!! Love you girl! So excited for you to hv this!
November 1st, 2020 at 3:09 pm
B. It really grabs me and I want to learn more! I can’t wait to read your book. Everything you do is amazing!!
November 4th, 2020 at 2:46 pm
Kim, you are so sweet! Thank you so much for chiming in and your incredible enthusiasm! I’m so EXCITED for you to read it! Only 7 more days! Your support means the world!
November 1st, 2020 at 4:40 pm
I like A best! Congrats on your new book and thank you for always being a role model of strength to women!
November 3rd, 2020 at 6:02 pm
Josie, thank you for every kind word. They mean so much. I can’t wait for you to have this book too! Sending you a big hug!
November 1st, 2020 at 4:47 pm
Hi, Me Ra! I like B. Congrats on the new book!
November 3rd, 2020 at 6:01 pm
Hi Judy! Thank you so much!! I’m so excited for you to read this book! Love you and Mary! Miss you guys!!
November 1st, 2020 at 5:11 pm
Option A
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:59 pm
Yay! Thanks Linda!
November 1st, 2020 at 9:16 pm
I’m still all about option “B.” That 4 grabs me, and your name and “author of” together below the title hits me just right in the visual. I would pick this up of the rack in the store right away. Hugs!
November 3rd, 2020 at 6:09 pm
Thank you so much Jane for being so thoughtful on this! Means the world!
I can’t wait for you to have it! xoxo
November 1st, 2020 at 11:23 pm
I vote for Option C ?. So very happy for you and excited to read the book. ??
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:55 pm
YAY!!! Can’t wait for you to read it Christine!
November 2nd, 2020 at 1:09 am
C…it’s the smallest…kind of like Gods voice sometimes. You have to sit quietly and listen. It feels the most calming and sits pleasantly in the beautiful blue…allowing the calmness of the blue to own the space. I can’t wait to read it!
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:55 pm
ANGELA!!!! Thank you girlfriend!!! xoxo
November 2nd, 2020 at 1:53 pm
They all look great, but I like A the best. It has a nice balance, and focusing on the “4” really speaks to me, because in an extra-crazy and stressful year, it tells me this is just a brief part of my day…that can make a huge difference. Regardless of which one you choose, I can’t *wait* to read the book!
November 4th, 2020 at 2:45 pm
Thank you Sara for ALL your feedback! It means the world! You’re so awesome! I can’t wait for you to read it too! One week away!
November 2nd, 2020 at 9:33 pm
“B”
the balance appeals most to my taste.
November 3rd, 2020 at 5:54 pm
Thanks so much! Is Bear your real first name? My nephew was just born, and they named him Teddy!
November 4th, 2020 at 2:55 pm
So excited for you!
I choose A
