I’m thankful for the talented designers who wrap stories in such beautiful packaging. Thus, at the start of each year I love to look back and admire Christian fiction book covers from the past year. I’m continuing that tradition with this post!
Here are a few of my 2019 favorites (in no particular order):
I’m a sucker for a cover depicting a handsome man! The dark color scheme, the luxurious historic clothing, and the title combine to pack a powerful, intriguing punch.
I’m charmed by every aspect of this cover — the dress, the storefront, the swags of greenery. For me, this hits just the right Christmas-y note.
Gorgeous and evocative! I spy a covered wagon slogging through snow. That, combined with the title, tells me what type of story I can expect within.
Great fonts! I’m enamored with this mix of colors and patterns. The outdoor setting is pretty and the pose is both sweet and romantic.
This unique over captivated me the very first time I saw it! It manages to be clever, lovely, and frightening all at the same time.
Adorable art work! I find the whimsy of the design combined with the swirling font of the word “Snow” appealing, fresh, and contemporary.
Ronie’s last series enjoyed some great covers, and the covers for this new series are terrific, too. The darkness of the hero’s image against the slashes of blue light is striking.
Different and memorable! I like how the title and its meaning interact with the photo. Also, books! What’s not to love about a bookish cover for book lovers?
Cold and hot at the same time! Haunting. The destroyed house seems to hold a mystery in need of solving.
Beautifully detailed! The woman, palace, colors, title, and fonts all work together to create a delightfully Russian feel. The phrase “Not even blood can stop bullets” nestled within beckons me to pick up the book and start reading.
I’m sure that I’ve forgotten about some of 2019’s most fabulous covers. Which ones stick out in your memory?

You picked some great ones!! Dani’s cover isn’t only wonderful to look at, it actually FEELS amazing!! And Lindsay Harrel’s is as delightful as her novella!
I was so intrigued by Natalie Walters’ Living Lies and Deadly Deceit covers. I love the way the girl on the covers is moved on each cover.
Other favorites – the colors and font on Victoria Bylin’s When He Found Me and the couple on Tari Faris’ debut!!
Yes! You’ve mentioned some wonderful covers, Melissa. When He Found Me by Victoria Bylin is utterly charming. 🙂
Those are some great pics, Becky! I love all of your choices and the fabulous variety represented. I especially love THE WORDS BETWEEN US. All those books! Makes my heart happy just looking at it. 🙂
It makes my heart happy, too! I always try to show a variety of covers and genres in this post because such good work is being done across the board.
In total agreement with the ones you listed. Some of my favorite covers in 2019 were:
* Code of Valor – Lynette Eason
* Curse of Misty Wayfair – Jaime Jo Wright
* Castle on the Rise – Kristy Cambron
* A Curious Beginning – Deanna Raybourn
* Fearless – Tamara Leigh
* Knox, Tate, Ford & Wyatt – Susan May Warren
Thanks so much for this list, Amy! You’ve mentioned some excellent covers. Castle on the Rise is stunning and I, too, loved Susan May Warren’s The Montana Marshall’s covers.
Have you seen the cover for Deanna Raybourn’s A Murderous Relation coming out this year? All that red and black is just splendid! I love it!
Thanks so much for including The Killing Tide! I’m glad you enjoyed the cover. We have the BEST art department. I love the covers you chose. My fav is Elizabeth Camden. Wow!
You’re welcome! The Killing Tide cover is outstanding, in my opinion.
I agree! So many of those are gorgeous!
🙂 They really are.
My absolute favorite cover of 2019 is Once Upon a Dickens Christmas by Michelle Griep. 😍😍😍 I just find it stunning.
Good one, Stacey! That cover is stunning.
“Strands of truth” by Coleen Coble is my favorite 2019 book cover, the black and white jacket with the splash of red coat and the authors name in red make this a stand out cover, #1 it drew me in to want to read the book, #2 It clearly communicated the author’s name by using the red color and by the simple font that was chosen.
