I’ve had a project in my back pocket for at least a year. I’m finally putting it together, and I’d love to hear your thoughts today! It’s an ebook: Create an Unmistakable Family Identity with a Family Purpose Statement.
I really believe that a family purpose statement is the “why” of your family and that it can help answer so many modern parenting dilemmas. I’m excited to dive into the topic a bit more than I have on the blog but to also keep it to the point, because I know your time is precious (and I don’t believe in making things longer than they need to be)!
So… Which is your favorite cover image?? (Help a girl out!)
let’s ignore the typo in that one. this is the brainstorming stage, after all. 🙂
I’ll admit I’m leaning toward the bottom image because I think the red will help it stand out, but I love them all. What do you guys think? And feel free to offer any other suggestions about the cover text, title, etc. 🙂 Or if you know someone with awesome hand-lettering skills, let me know!
PS. Launching this fall!

I agree! I like the bottom one best. I’m excited for this ebook, you always have such great things to say!
Erica Layne
Thanks so much, Britni! I’m excited too! (And nervous!)
Simone
I love the first one. I think your eBook sounds so great! Congratulations
Erica Layne
Thanks so much, Simone!!
Emma
Hi, well done for writing the book. I’m not sure you will want to hear this but I wonder if you may be excluding a few people who just won’t identify with the image that you are portraying of what a family looks like. I actually like the bottom one the least, why is he walking through a field with his suit on? I love your posts and I hope your book is really sucesful. Wishing you every luck with a tough decision!
Erica Layne
Hi Emma! I don’t mind at all. Thanks for your thoughtful comment. And I chuckled out loud at your reference to him walking through a field in a suit. The things we do for family pictures! Good point, though! 🙂
You have a great week!
Rebecca Cooper
I love #2 and #3 but they’re ALL beautiful!
Erica Layne
Thanks, Rebecca! Yes, I’m lucky to have twisted a few arms and gotten some great options from talented photographers! 🙂 I agree they’re all beautiful.
Alise Bailey
I love the first one! I like how the focus is on the parents’ love for each other and that the kids are held close but not the primary focus. Congrats on the book!!
Erica Layne
That’s so sweet – what you said about the parents being focused on each other. That IS where it starts, right? Well said.
Thanks, Alise. Have a great week!
Lynnette
I like one and four the best. Best of luck on your ebook. That’s awesome!
Erica Layne
Thanks, Lynnette! OF COURSE Covey has an ebook out right now on the same topic. I knew I should have jumped on this a year ago! That’s okay – they say any buzz on your topic is good buzz, right? haha.
Thanks for the well wishes!
Jolynn
I think I like the 1st one best. Then 4, and then 3. I like the color ones 🙂
Jules
Hey Erica! I like 1 and 4 the best. I’m definitely more into the color options.
Sarah
so I love 1 and 4. Initially I loved 1 more but for some odd reason it bothers me that a child is his beneath the lettering. But like mentioned above I love that the parents are so focused on each other. I love 4 also but because no family member is covered up with letterings. And there is something about the little girl in her dads arms looking back at the camera.
Erica Layne
Thanks, Sarah! I love that little girl looking back at the camera too. So darling.
Katie @ Wonderfully Made
SO excited about this, friend! I love the bottom one as well. I think the red really makes it pop and love the hot air balloon!
Erica Layne
Thanks so much, Katie! Agreed!
Sierra Burton
Definitely the bottom one! P.S. You’re writing a book?!?!Have I been that MIA?! I’m so excited!
Erica Layne
Thanks, Sierra! I’ve missed you around here! I’m going to do better at keeping tabs on YOU and your blogs as well.
It’s just an ebook, but I’m definitely excited!
Suzy

Congrats!
It’s not “just” an eBook 😉
