None of the above please. #3 backfires with me and #1 is incomprehensible (sorry, you asked). If you must, then #2, but I still don't like it. How about instead opening the cover design up as a competition. Surely the are creative, imaginative, discerning graphic artists out here (no, not I)

I didn't like any of them.
When I think of counterfeit products today I think of a look alike but with the wrong spelling. They usually just change one letter. I have lived outside of the US and walked by counterfeit stuff all the time. Knock off Ray Bans would read Ray Bons. They looked a lot like Ray Bans until you looked closer.
If you could give that effect it would be better. Glad you wrote the book, though.
Not the match cross!!! It's too 90's (if that makes any sense) and is too reminiscent of Hybel's Contagious Church and any number of other Christians books with the match on the cover. I'm not grabbed by any of them, but I think #2 is the least distracting/confusing.

How about a pic ofa cheap, plastic kitschy cross that is broken and cleary but poorly glued back together?
Have to agree with what's been said thus far. I disliked #1 the least and #3 the most. I'm thinking - white cover with a broken wooden cross with a big snake crawling on it! Just off the top of my head.
Love in the Truth.

Unfortunately, I agree with the others. I don't care for any of the covers, but I am interested in what's inside the book! Thanks

I agree with the other commentators. None of the covers actually says what (I think) is your purpose for the book. I would suggest a montage of symbols from the places promoting a false gospel, but that might run you into legal issues. Something that speaks of deception or counterfeit is probably what you are after. If you need to choose from one of the covers above, the match cross design is the most eye-catching.

None of them work for me. None of them convey the idea of "counterfeit", and only #3 appears to have anything to do with "Gospel." But Christ crucified is NOT a COUNTERFEIT Gospel. I would strongly urge, back to the drawing board.

Not a fan of any of the designs! They look a little too predictable/"old school" for my taste.
I do not like #3 at all. You would likely offend many strictly Reformed people who hold that pictures of Jesus violate the 2nd commandment. #1 is better than #2, in my opinion.

Not a big fan of any of them. If I have to choose, I'll swallow #1.

All three covers do not work for me. Like most people I am drawn first to the displayed book cover. I like the idea of the match cross but not the dark colors. I did purchased your first book. Looking forward to read the new one.

Basically "ditto" to what Kat said. Love the match cross design b/c it looks cool, but I'm not catching onto its significance. And cover 3 was my least favorite.

I did not like cover 3.
Why a match cross? It's the cooler of the 3 designs, but I'm still wondering what's the idea behind it.
Option 1 is my vote.
