Judge a Book by Its Cover?

Neither of these is the final final cover of The Fathers Know Best, but here are a couple of views that are pretty close.

Hooray! Been waiting for this for a long time with all your teasing on Catholic Answers Live!
Congrats Jimmy, I know it’s been a long time coming.
I’m curious, though, which one of those guys on the cover is you? The guy in the upper left looks kinda like you.

I’m afraid my hairline is more like that of the red haired guy in the middle on the right.

Ha! …it’s all good …that’s St. Paul isn’t it?

Actually, today at Catholic Answers someone tole me that, instead of the usual picture of the author on the back of the book, he wanted there to be a “Jimmy icon.”
I appreciated the thought, but not unless and until I’m beatified (which might be paraphrased, “Over my dead body”). 😀

I can’t wait to buy this book. Do you have any plans for it to be available as an eBook so I can read it on my Nook?

Love it Jimmy!

There were more fathers than just the 12 apostles. I like the cover but if I were to “judge a book by it’s cover” I would be concerned about it being complete. Plust are most of the fathers of the church the ones that came after the apostles?

Hi Jimmy,
Congratulations in your new book. It will be a nice addition to my personal library.About the pictures. Somehow that does not look like a 300 pages book. I thought you mentioned once in the show that this was the estimated number of pages for the book. Did I hear wrong?

can’t wait to get this book. I’m sure it will play a pivotal role in helping me re-enter the Catholic faith.
