The first photo of the novel cover was released on June 23, reported Ace Showbiz.
"Kanye is a really good friend," Rich said explaining why he chose West to create his book cover.
"We chat every week about different things: clothes, design, music, architecture, Jesus. He's an amazing artist and designer, and with my first book coming out, I thought it would be fun for him to design the cover. I asked him if he wanted to do it, and he was all about it. He was really enthusiastic," he added.
"It looks more like art than a book cover. It's clean, minimalistic, and simple, with big brush strokes. It's exactly what I hoped it would be."
"Sandcastle Kings", subtitled "Meeting Jesus in a Spiritually Bankrupt World", is aimed at helping readers achieve true happiness and personal success using "a passage in Luke to talk about faith and Jesus".
