Option B won this Ranked poll with a final tally of 27 votes after 4 rounds of votes counting.
In a Ranked poll, respondents rank every option in order of preference. For example, when you test 6 options, each respondent orders their choices from first to sixth place.
PickFu requires a majority to win a Ranked poll. A majority winner differs from a plurality winner. A majority winner earns over 50% of the votes, whereas a plurality winner earns the most votes, regardless of winning percentage.
If an option does not earn a majority of votes, PickFu eliminates the option with the lowest number of votes. The votes from the eliminated option are reassigned based on each respondent’s next choice. This process continues in rounds until a majority winner emerges.
Scores reflect the percentage of total votes an option receives during the vote counting and indicate the relative preference of the respondents. If there is no majority winner, look to the scores to see how the options fared relative to one another.
Option | Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Round 4 |
---|---|---|---|---|
B | 28% 14 votes | 30% 15 votes +1 | 42% 21 votes +6 | 54% 27 votes +6 |

Accuracy is very important in everything I read. This title indicates that it will discuss the things that are thought to be inaccurate and explain why.
I really like the phrasing of "Getting the Gospel Right" because so many people try to put different meaning into it. I think the concept of "getting it right" is intriguing and will make people pick up the book to find out if they've been getting it wrong.
Being an atheist or agnostic(it varies depending on the day honestly) I would not like any of these books I don’t think, so I chose the ones from least religious sounding to most religious sounding.
The first one seems like the more accurate depiction.
I vastly prefer the neutral connotations that option A has. Unlike the others, it does not say something could or will happen. Those statements always annoy me and put me off, as they are tantamount to cheap marketing trickery. Option B comes second because it describes another life that is changed, not necessarily that of the reader, making it more acceptable, if less inviting than option A achieves.
would prpbably not pick up the book once i saw the woed gospel
I'm not a religious person by any stretch, so I'm not certain I'm quite the audience for this book assuming the gospel reference is literal, however I can certainly appreciate the sentiment here. Option A really appealed to me because it's assertive without making me feel like I'm about to get lectured. It comes across as knowledgeable and expert on the matter, which is an empowering tone I find intriguing. Options E and B also maintained that empowering tone by still staying in the realm of the text making understanding action based. There's no if, it's a matter of when you read it. I like that actionable vocabulary. I found Options D and C less appealing with the less potentially empowering "could". It implies it might happen and a book attempting to convey expertise shouldn't sow any potential doubt.
I chose A first because i really like the emphasis on understanding of the gospel. Many people seem to misunderstand issues surrounding religion, and it is important to have a clear understanding of such powerful topics. From there, I chose D and C because they make more accurate claims: an understanding that COULD change you life. Followed by B because the sub-title focuses on the author´s individual experience (changed MY life). Lastly, A I really dislike because it is the typical, sensationalist and unverified claim of many products- this WILL change your life.
I like the book title/subtitle used in option A slightly more than the other choices. The other titles sound repetitive and not as succinct as option A. It gives a clear representation of what this book is going to be about and why it is important.
The most descriptive title is my favorite so I understand what the book is about. Subtitles that explain the title more specifically help to further that understanding.
“Getting the Gospel” is a good use of alliteration. The subsequent title text is less click baity than its counterpart

The type of genre isn't in my wheelhouse but that's the order I would put them in from how interesting I think they sound
B sounds the best to me because I think the title Game Changer while not very original is more attractive than The Gospel or anything including the Gospel which is not the most exciting topic. Then the subtitle "A Gospel Understanding That Changed My Life" is more interesting to me because it's more like a story and not as much of a sales pitch.
B makes the most sense to me as far as semantics and fluidity.
I chose these in the order that the copy made the most impact on me.
I chose description that make me feel the information will be most life changing.
"Game Changer" is the best option. Seems to be the best representative of a moving title. There is more emotion in it. "A Gospel Understanding that Changed My Life" is more intriguing. It has a better feel of a story than one that is about the reader. Option is the best for the book title for the most impact.
Making it personal I think is your best bet in this 1. When you do it like that I think people can relate
Starting out with game changer draws attention
I feel like choice B and E is more proactive-sounding and sounds very..almost with a sense of urgency. I think it's eye catching and better than the other three that is featured.
I like B the best because I would want to hear about this persons experiences and how it changed them. Through that, people will maybe look at themselves and make the change. I put both A and C next because I think like most things people just don’t fully understand things and make opinions on half truths. Seeing this title I would say this goes into detail to give the full story. I put A over C for that same reason, it wants to give an accurate understanding. C,D and E all tell you in the title that this will change you and I would stay away from that. Let the reader get there themselves, don’t tell them it will or give any type of false hope.
I much prefer the emphasis on "me" over you. I want to here how it worked for you. Whereas emphasizing "you" makes it sound like you haven't even tried this method, so how do I know it works?
The book title and subtitle that I would rather read would be the book title and subtitle featured in Option B. I would rather read this book title and subtitle because it expresses that I'll be reading, at least in part, the experience that someone else had. I get this impression because the subtitle says "... That changed my life." I like to read others' experiences because it makes the information relatable, rather than just reading something and getting my own experience alone.
I chose the two answers that didn’t have gospel in the first part of the title. I would prefer this because I am not religious so I would be more likely to read
Using the words "game changer" is more attractive than the alternative due to being so popular. Also, using the word "my" makes it more personal, which is better than not making it personal. I would want to learn about a personal account as opposed to just an opinion
5 Responses to Option C
I'm not religious so i wouldn't want to buy any of these honestly, but i graded them on how interesting they sounded to me and ranked them on that metric. They were all similar, but i liked C first and A last based on plain preference.
The reason why I have chosen C is because of the key word "could".
Titling the book, The Gospel, is gonna get the book lost in the weeds I feel like. YOu'd need something different to set yourself apart a little. I really am not a big fan of the gamechanger thing, but that's a persona issue. The word just kind of annoys me as I feel like it's overused. Even the, Getting the Gospel Right, one I"m not a huge fan of. It feels a little obnoxious, like after alllll these years this book is the first one to get the gospel right?
I think you have to believe that something could change your life if you work for it. I don't think a book title can guarantee that so it is off putting. That kind of draws you in like a mystery could this change things. More interesting line than it will change you.
Letting people know your intent and making it clear makes the better title.

I ranked them by what I felt had a good title that meshes well with its subtitle. D and C does a solid job at that while B and A are okay and E not so much.
I think it is best to put it right up front this is a religious concept.
The shorter the title, the better. D and B are the briefest and state the theme well.
I picked Option D because it actually says directly how the gospel itself could change my life. Options C and A, however, just say that getting the gospel "right" could change my life, which is not the same thing as saying that the gospel itself could change my life. Options B and E advertise a "game changer," and a "gospel understanding" that will change my life, but it is not clear in Options B and E that the gospel itself is the game changer. I'd rather pick the most straightforward option, and that is Option D, which directly tells me that it is the gospel itself that will change my life.
I believe that connecting the reader to the text through the use of the word "You" is more powerful in this context. Option D does this most efficiently and effortlessly, followed by options E and C. Options A and B do not connect with me as well, and these titles seem less than eye-catching.
I think that option D and C both are creative an give me a better understanding of what the book is about. I like the titles that focus on my life, not someone else's experiences.
I like option D the most because it is the most straightforward and easy to understand. Option C is also quite clear and concise. Option A is ok but a bit lengthy. The rest of the options didn't really capture my attention.
I like option D because I think it just flows the best. I feel like it is grammatically correct. It has a nice ring to it. I think option C & A are just ok, they don't flow together like option D. I don't like how they have "change" twice in the other two options, it kind of sounds repetitive.
The gospel is not accurate so I chose that one last. I also chose based on which one was more straight to the point at let me know that this was a religious book.
I like option D best because it talks about the gospel first so you know that is the main subject. Then telling how when you understand it it could change your life.
I think that no matter what you title this book, it's only going to reach a niche audience that is interested in the gospel or a different interpretation of it. There is a slim chance you might pique an atheists interest but probably not. All the titles wewre equal to me because I have no interest in the subject matter.
I think that option D is the most concise option while giving it the best description for the reader. The other options just seem inferior. I hate the "Game Changer" titles, it feels very unrelated to gospels and out of place.

Option E says it will change your life. Choice B says that it already changed someone else's which gives me confidence that it will. Choice C and D say that it could, which is semi convincing and something that I would try. Choice A, says understanding is everything, which I'm not sure about, and I would have to hear about this book first before I bought it.
This title is very clear and contains the words will change your life. It makes me think it is a for sure thing and therefore I am very interested. Also like Gamechanger first. It is very positve.
"Game Changer" sounds the most exciting to read puttiing B and E first, with the one that will change my life more exciting.A sounds too plain, putting it last. D is a little more short and sweet, putting it above C.
I prefer the ones that don't have gospel in the main title.
Game Changer will resonate more with the more tech savvy crowd. The phrase "...That Will Change Your Life" is a little more personal and would make me want to find out more information.
They seem the same but E flows a little better
E grabbed my attention because it says it WILL change your life. The others don't sound so sure or convincing.
The idea of a "game changer" sounds dynamic and exciting, which is very appealing, so I picked those options first. The other options are alright, but the top two are certainly the best. Sounds like an interesting book for sure!
