I have recently been really intrigued with book trailers, short videos that, like their film counterparts, introduce and pique people’s interest about a coming book.
Today’s book trailer is for a superb book that was released a little over a year ago and somehow slipped through the cracks here at the ERB. This trailer won a MOBY award as one of the best book trailers of 2011 in the Best Small Publishing House category. (You can see the other 2011 winners here…)

Jonathan will be speaking at the Festival of Faith and Writing later this month at Calvin College. If you plan to be there, you will surely want to catch his talk!
You can also watch a couple of other brief videos about this unique book
(including one on the tedious process of its production) on the publisher’s website.
