Judging a book by its cover can be hit-and-miss, little wonder an old English idiom warns against doing so – ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ it goes. Looking at the front cover of Life in the wild, I wondered what the average reader would think of it. Personally, I was curious to know why fierce looking thorns were closing in on the book title; in no time, I spotted the subtitle – fighting for faith in a fallen world, and then it made sense. Given the book’s main thesis, it is indeed an apt choice of cover page.
