Cross to Crown Blog

If you've never published a book, you may not realize how much work goes into getting it from digital document to publication. I have enjoyed the process, but there have been many unanticipated details along the way.

One of those details has been deciding on the title. The working title, which originated several years ago when I first conceptualized the book in my head, wasJesus, the Reason for Everything. While it captures the message of the book accurately, some thought it might not capture anyone's attention. So, we went a different direction. Some of the other options on the table were:

A Christ-Obsessed Life: Living in Light of the Cross and Crown of Jesus
A Christ Obsession
Cross to Crown: A Call to Live Intentionally Christ-Obsessed in All Things
Real Christianity
Why God Created: the Reason for Everything

In the end, none of those made the cut. But the creative discussions were fun and educating. I am more appreciative than ever for those who labor in the particulars of making a book ready for public consumption.

If you have any experience with this, I would be interested in hearing about it.
