Pillars of the Christian Faith - COVER

This project just happened in a most amazing way this past week. I received a call one afternoon asking if I could come up with a concept for this book. A few versions were already developed but nothing that was final. This was a thursday. When I was finally able to sit down behind the desk later that evening, around 6ish I realzied that I already had the concept in my mind of what I wanted it to look like. I had this image of pillars that I was going to use previously for another aspect of the pillars project, but it didn't work out. So within a short period of time I was able to work out this design. {Now let me take a moment right here to say, i believe that nothing I design is of my own working. I fully believe that God directs my hands.. for He is the one who gives the talents in the first place.} Once the design was tweaked and finalized the cover was shown to Danny Shelton and Jim Gilley that evening and they loved it. So much so that they wanted to show it LIVE on that evenings program, (3ABN TODAY, live) So from the desktop to the show within a matter of hours it was live around the world. At the time it was shown the backside wasn't even completed! After completing the full cover the files were sent to Remnant publications where it was printed. A few days later the entire book was printed and on the stage live. It's just pretty amazing how God works.

Interesting note: The other day I was cleaning out some old papers. I ran across a letter that I had written to another Adventist publication about 10-12 years ago. I had sent them some samples of my work and a letters stating how I was looking to use my talents for God and if they had any opportunities for me. This is how God works... It wasn't my time, God knew I needed more cultivation, experience, and direction. It wasn't in His plans to have me work in this way just then.

Isn't He amazing. 10-12 years later, I am doing just what I was hoping for. Using my talents to serve Him and the ministry. To help reach souls for Christ.

Not one of you can say to yourselves that you are not a visual person. That a good looking cover will draw you in and draw your attention than one that is not as well designed.
Making covers, products, images that are pleasing and inviting are what sells the item, thus getting the reader (in this case) into the book, into knowing more about Him.

10-12 years ago this wouldn't have been possible for me, for my talents weren't ready, the programs were lacking the abilities the have now.

God is AMAZING, HIS TIMING is PERFECT.
Never forget that! Praise the Lord.
