Into What Splendor cover reveal & launch date

Is the title Into What Splendor a statement, exclamation, or question? Should the title include a punctuation mark at the end? Should I title the book Splendor instead?

These all are valid questions in the run-up to a book release. They affect the font and color scheme, the sizing and placement of various cover elements, and in the end the answers to those questions determine how the book is perceived, discussed, and remembered from here to eternity.

But now, the delays are over.

The questions are history.

The answers are settled.

Did we get it right? It’s time for you to judge…

I don’t know about you, but I have to say my designer—Les—always delivers more! As in more than I expected, and more than I can thank her for.

I’m especially thrilled to see “Illustrated by rising artists” under the title because it hi-lights the amazing contributions to this book by young readers/illustrators.

My hat’s off to them!

Now, before I get on to the next bit of news, I want to let you in on the irony of this announcement coming today, April 26, 2022. You see, one year ago today my Dad passed on into splendor, and this book is dedicated to him.

While I did not plan for the dates to line up this way, I have to say I’m emotional that the Kindle pre-order of Into What Splendor marks the 1st anniversary of his passing.

As the saying goes, the Lord works in mysterious ways.

So, amid the bittersweet reflections of today, I’m also looking ahead to the release of a book he would have been proud of. Starting today, you can pre-order Into What Splendor and auto-download as soon as it’s available. Which is…

Monday May 16, 2022

So, with that news shared, it’s onward and upward. I’ll be attending a few homeshooling conferences in the Pacific Northwest this season, which I’ll share with you in future updates. I hope to see you there!

Until then, keep chasing those dreams!
