It still does not feel real, but it is about the become very real. I met with my friend Ellen from church. She is very talented at graphic design. After reading a draft of my upcoming book Jesus Understands Trauma, she designed the book cover for me.
We will meet next Friday and hopefully publish it and my other book Lifted Out Of The Pit/Called To The Nations.
My hope and prayer is for Jesus to work through my books to free people up and to draw people to him. As I shared yesterday in my post, Two Friends As Teens/Two Different Paths In Life, by God’s grace my life has meaning and purpose. That is more fully developed in my other upcoming book Lifted Out Of The Pit/Called To The Nations.
I am so thankful for those who have prayed for me in this process. I am also thankful for input from my pastor and from my therapist.
What do you think of the cover?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

I’m so excited for you!!
Thank you 🙂
I like the cover. It has a message by itself. Fantastic to see!
Thank you little sister. How are you feeling today>
Doing well, thank you. Getting there slowly but surely. Thanks.
Dad I love the cover. I just don’t understand those hands. Does it mean one hand is for Jesus and the other is for the victim of trauma?? Otherwise I am extremely excited to read this book. You were born for such a time as this.
the lower hand represents the victims of trauma and the upper hand represent Jesus reaching down
That’s beautiful. I love it. I approve it
Thank you 🙂
How are you sweet daughter?
I love the imagery
Thank you little sister. Blessings 🙂
Love the cover, wishing you lots of success with the book.
Thank you my fellow Jedi. How are you today?
Good, how about you?
I am ok
Looking Good Matt. Glad you are getting your books out there.
Thank you Gary. Is the snow still melting up there?
A little bit now. hopefully it will speed up
It’s been a long time coming, but “Matt-hanza” is here! That’s my buzz word for your book launch. Looks good, brother!
Thank you David. How are things in Sooner land?
Very windy today. But that’s Oklahoma.
Same in Nebraska
How exciting, Matt! I like the design of the cover, but not so sure about the colour of the arms and hands – my first thought was that the larger hand reaching up looks like a corpse, which confuses me.
The lower hand represents trauma victims reaching for hhelp. The upper hand represents Jesus reaching down to come to our aid
yes, I read that. Wounded by trauma – traumatised even – but being touched by Jesus!
Amen. Made alive in Christ 😊
Nice book cover.
Thank you little sister. How are you feeling these days?
I’m doing well. Like you, trusting Father God for total healing.
Congratulations on your book. I’m so excited for you.
Thank you little sister.
Love it congratulations
Thank you 🙏
Wow!!!!! It’s great!! The graphics go along with the content perfectly!
Very excited for you!!
Thank you little sister. How are you? How is your weekend?
Hey the weekend was good! Soccer games and some 4H stuff on Saturday! And church and family time with my husband’s aunt on Sunday! How about your weekend?
Mine was good. Dinner at Ukrainian friends home, church, lunch with friends after church
I figured you were probably dining with friends!! I love it!!
This so exciting! I am happy for you. The cover speaks of God reaching out to us, lifting us and holding onto us. I love it!
Thank you little sister 🙂
So glad to reconnect here
WOOOO! It’s real! Enjoy it!
Thank you 🙂
Have a blessed week
Matt, one step closer to the publishing. Quite an achievement! Congratulations!
Thank you 🙂
You’re welcome!
Will they be on Amazon?
yes they will
I will share the links in my blog once they are published perhaps this coming weekend
COOL!!
I plan to donate $1 from each book sold to a different ministry/charity each month. I will share the one for May in the same post I share the links. At the end of each month, I will share the donation receipt in a post so people know I followed through
Cool
by the way I am awake at this terribly early hour writing but will go back to sleep soon 🙂
Blessings Matt! The book cover captures our relationship with Jesus. He will always take the necessary steps to reach out to us.
Amen- always reaching out
I love it!
Thank you Dee 🙂
The cover is beautiful
