Imagine a book of true stories that personally illustrate how every adversity, no matter how bad, truly does contain a blessing. It is a beautiful and important revelation. It brings deep gratitude for what's happened in your life, allowing you to heal and live happily with an open heart. It can change your life. So, John Castagnini started a forum for sharing these experiences to help everyone grow in peace and inspiration. Many people, including bestselling authors, came aboard and it's been growing ever since.
Thank God I... is now a thriving website and book series and God knows what else John's creative mind is manifesting as I write this. The first book, shown here, became a #1 bestseller on amazon after only a few months -- a great start and indication of things to come!
It's kind of like Chicken Soup for the Soul but with the emphasis on gratitude. Bestselling authors contributed chapters to volume 1, and more will be in volume 2 to be published this year. There are related books underway and more stuff coming faster than I can keep up with so visit their website to see what's going on.
The cover is designed to be comforting, religious and optimistic. The yellow (gold) and violet together help this occur. The flowing shape floating across the centered layout gives stability and grace. The edges of color shifts are softened. You may note the three dots in the title are hearts. The subtle mandala behind the title is a popular new age motif that works nicely here. John had a lot of input on that, as well as the color scheme and the script for the title.
My lovely wife, Mary, is a talented and sensitive writer and also a contributing author to a future volume, her first time to be published in a book. How cool is that?
