The first is just out totally. I don't like the girls expression or the praying hands and it doesn't match the other book covers. The second one would do but the little we see of the girl's face is WAY too young! She looks like a 12 yr old playing dress up. Wonder why they went with such a young girl?

I would like more face...but then the cut off one does give you space to imagine. And I love the pink dress! And the way shes pulling his sleeve......but maybe she needs to yank it a little more? Overall I love it, and I love Karen Witemeyer.

It's an improvement to the preacher but I agree with you about the girl looking too young. It's funny how I've heard the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" over and over yet I can't help but do it :)<br /><br /><a href="http://thegreaterpurpose.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tell the World</a> <br />Titi Funtóhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839932580966688745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-88537355640599880842013-01-18T08:16:25.777-08:002013-01-18T08:16:25.777-08:00I love both. :) But I have to say, the second one ...I love both. :) But I have to say, the second one is my fave.

I really like the rope idea in the first one. If they could have kept the rope and used that to pull him instead of her just pulling on his sleeve. That would have been more "stealing" to me. The pulling on the shirt says more "Nagging the Preaching" in my opinion! Even so, I still prefer the second one.
