That resolved, (and yes, I'm technically a Dr., but I don't know how to fix the living, only reconstruct the dead) it was time to get back to normal life. Then there is the third book, and my publicist wants to do a Social Media blast this month. I made these tonight and respectfully ask which one you prefer. 1, 2, 3, or 4.
A real post to resume soon. Partner in Grime was gone all week, and I was busy with the house, work, 96-year-old Dad, and dog. Dad can sometimes be a challenge, but as he adopted me when his friends were welcoming grandchildren, I figure I owe him one, and he is one of the kindest men I know.

4 is best, 2 is second best.
Brigid - I'm not religious (although I do subscribe to the Judeo-Christian moral code), yet #4 moved me the most and seems to fit the title best. #1 would be my second choice.
#4 works for me.
Tough call. But #4 first choice, as Reg said it seems to fit the theme the best, and I think it was the most positive as well. 3 for a second pick.
#4 followed closely by #1
I like #4 but think that your might sell more with #1.
+1 for Borepatch's comment.
They are all excellent. It seems that each blurb piques a different area of interest. After reading them several times over several days, Number Two was the one that had me the most curious and motivated to learn more. I think #2 would reach the widest audience.
Frankly, #4 words with #1 picture by far
Otherwise: 1,4
#1: Seeking.
#2: Loss.
#3: Renewal.
#4: Hope.
They're all good, but 4 is the least melancholy. I'd go with #4.
I was the most moved by #2, but I think I'm with the consensus that #4 is the standout.
I also totally missed the themes that Atom Smasher summarizes until reading his comment, FWIW.
#2 was the one that I was drawn to read visually. #4 was the one that read with the most impact.
#4 gets my vote. It was the easiest to read and delivered its message in a straightforward manner. I liked #1, but I found myself re-reading it several times to really understand it; perhaps not the best thing for the intended medium and audience.
4 or 1...
Atom Smasher - you totally nailed it. Thanks for making my day. Everyone - thanks for the honest feedback - I think I'll forward #4. I had fun making them anyway (people ask about the third book cover - it's an abandoned barn in Indiana that I stopped to take a photo of on the way to a blog meets, the railway spike caught my eye.)
Brigid
Number four seems to hit me the best. After reading the book, it seems to follow the idea I got from the book.
Brigid, Sorry that I missed you, it seems. I myself was moved by all of these, but thought that 1 was best for marketing, as well. I knew that you had locked down your blog, I just found out that you had spam issues. I am so sad that you had to do that. But I still wish you the absolute best. If you remember, my wife and I adopted two girls, sisters. I live in MI. Be Blessed.
Horizon then guitar..
#1, #4
I like the excerpts; I think the presentation of #1 "appeals" more than the others.
Q
I like #4 best; that said, #1 might be more suitable for a book display or outer cover.
Number one would have the widest appeal. Then four.
