I sent the manuscript of the book version of this site to a few friends last Wednesday. I wanted to throw up a little or a lot but I think that’s to be expected to some degree. It’s a little scary to say, “ta da, here’s what I’ve been working on at 5 in the morning for the last three months.”
I turn it into my editor at Zondervan in March. One of the things I’m still playing around with is the title. Since I’ve published approximately 0 books before, I’m not sure if there’s someone that works at Zondervan whose sole job is to come up with wicked awesome book titles all day long. Like maybe I call him up and say, “My book is about _____” and he instantly spits out the most ridiculously cool book title ever and then I go about my way. (This person has a handlebar mustache in my mind.)
But regardless, I still want to turn the manuscript in with a fantastic title.
So that’s the question today. No “should this chapter go in the book.” No “what movies are you watching.” Just straight up simple.
I think the title of the book should be “Stuff Christians Like: and then some sort of witty subhead that captures the funny outer shell and chewy nougat of honest faith center.”
What do you think? Any ideas on what the title of the book should be?
Bear in mind that you are often funnier and in most cases, taller, than me. I’d love to hear your suggestions, no matter how off the wall. (And thanks for getting in the sandbox with me on this thing.)
What should the title of the Stuff Christians Like book be?
