Steve, I think that you should come up with a logo that become synomonous with you and your mission. And that you should use this logo and coloring on your website too.
If you like the simplistic look of your website then maybe design your book using the symplistic approach but still incorporating a logo. Maybe a logo of a brain but colored 80% showing a partial charge. Or a brain that has roots and looks like a tree. A good logo helps brand your image for the future...
Furthermore I think that you should somehow make the book's cover convey that you have a cult like following already. Maybe some small captions that deliver a home spun, grassroots anti guru feel. In a craigslist sort of way...
Another idea could be a picture of you standing with what appears to be thousands of people behind you and somehow convey an already existing support. Maybe with wires connecting your brain to all those standing behind you.

"Some caption saying something about your blog and all the way to being an author ;;insert here"
I didn't put much though into the above and I am more or less brainstorming. I just think that you need to capture what you've already got and bottle it.
You got to go with what brought you here Steve. You are coasting down hill and should not make it more difficult for yourself by snipping all the momentum you have built up.
