The first book I wrote, still in publication, is The World, The Flesh, and The Devil. It is a simple work focused on giving tools for Christian living.
What is your writing process?
I do not have a solid process other than I write when I am consumed by a particular subject.
How do you approach cover design?
I usually just wait until some image comes to mind that I feel reflects the book's content.

I prefer the NOOK!
