I Still Believe

I Still Believe by Jeremy Camp

I love reading. I love reading great fiction. However, no one writes stories like God does and the truth in I Still Believe is so powerful.  I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy Camp in his travelling around in a van days. As a matter of fact I watched him unload his van for a gig. A few hours later after completing the manual work, he lead 200+ teens and young adults into an amazing time of worship.

I Still Believe starts at the foundation with Jeremy's foundation - faith and family. The brief time with his wife, Melissa, is a powerful enough testimony. However, Jeremy's testimony begins when he chooses to follow the Lord. Dissatisfied with the emptiness the temptations of the world delivers, Jeremy sacrificed and chose to walk a narrow path. As a teen the call on Jeremy's life was vague but it was forming. Through the book Jeremy tells of moments of doubt, rebellion, confusion, and anger. Something that we all feel and yet as Christians we are hesitant to admit to.

There is so much in the pages of I Still Believe, but mostly it is a story of the reality of God's faithfulness. I'd recommend this book to new Christians, young Christians, old Christians, grieving Christians, wise Christians, and those who don't have a relationship with the Lord. You can't really summarize a testimony like Jeremy's. I Still Believe is a testimony; it isn't a story.
