I am excited about the upcoming release of You & Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity by Francis and Lisa Chan. The book will release next week: August 26. And while I think the cover design is excellent, I wish Francis hadn’t chosen to use a hand model. So here is my proposed cover revision (which will also require a reformatting of the page layout due to its unconventional height).

This is just a mockup, of course, since nobody knows the actual length of “Francis Fingers.” (Though there are rumors that he can palm an ESV Study Bible.)

You & Me Forever releases next week (Aug 26), and it will be available at regular book outlets and at youandmeforever.org (100% of the net proceeds will fund important projects around the world). For more on the book, and why I think this particular marriage book is vital for the church today, click here.

 

DISCLAIMER: I am a huge fan of Francis Chan and the message God has given him to preach. His fingers make him neither more nor less adequate as a minister of the gospel. God looks not on the length of the fingers, but on the heart.
