Jeremy Camp I Still Believe A Memoir with David Thomas
Jeremy Camp I Still Believe A Memoir with David Thomas was a book I actually purchased. I was going through a rough time spiritually. I did not get a position I thought I should have gotten. I was so disappointed I actually started to question God's love for me. I told God if he really cared for me then why did he not give me that job. Why did God not answer my prayer about anything. I prayed for people to turn back from the things of the world and return to the Lord. I prayed for a long time. God answered those prayers, but He still had not answered the prayers I had before Him concerning my family. I began to think that God wants us to serve others, and just not ask God for anything. I started to wonder if this was any kind of relationship. So one day while I was having my pitty party. I asked God is it all worth it? I went to the book store and I started looking for something. I did not know what I was just looking for a book. Then Jeremy Camp's book fell down from the bookshelves. I kind of was a little spooked because I did not even touch that shelf but yet the book fell down. Well I picked it up and was about to put it back on the shelf where it belonged, but for some reason I read the back cover. The book was about his life and his testimony. I like Jeremy Camp. I enjoy his music so I decided why not get the book.
The book begins with Jeremy Camp talking about his love for God, and how his mother and father came to know the Lord. How his family served God and how they grew up poor, but never needing for nothing. God provided for them. Then Jeremy shares about him straying away in high school. Through his testimony I began to think about my circumstances also. I began to wonder if I was trusting God in everything in my life? Then it gets even more personal Jeremy Camps begins to share about his rededication to the Lord, and his willing to serve God in all things. He shares about his early music career and how God provided the way. Then he share the gut wrenching part of his life. The loss of his wife. I knew he had a wife and she passed away but I never knew the details. The book gives one mans testimony of life. The ups and downs. The blessing and gifts from God, and most of all how God does not ever leave you in the times of darkness. I did not reveal the details of the book in hopes that you pick up this book. Jeremy Camps reminds us that every one has trials. It is just who do we hold on too? Ourselves,other or hang on to God. This book helped me when I was searching for answers. It brought me hope, and reminded me that I am loved by God even if He did not give me what I want. Pick up the book it will help you on your walk with God. God Bless.
