How can one
hold onto to their faith in the midst of the most trying circumstances? Jeremy
Camp shares his powerful testimony in IStill Believe, a book that will challenge every reader to strengthen the
foundation of their faith.
Jeremy
Camp, award winning Christian music artist, came from humble beginnings. His
parents turned to Christ after struggling with substance abuse in their young
adult years. Jeremy was brought up in a loving, Christian home, but they were
very poor. Yet, he never felt in need. After his own conversion experience as a
late teen during summer camp, Jeremy dove deep into the word of God and never
looked back. After high school, Camp moved to California to go to college and
while in California, he met Melissa. She was a passionate Christian young woman
who swept Jeremy off his feet. Melissa was diagnosed with cancer after they
met, but after treatment, it appeared as though she was in remission. Jeremy
and Melissa were married, but after 3 ½ months of marriage, Melissa died. It
was after her death and struggling through emotions that come with grief that
Jeremy wrote the song “I Still Believe.”Jeremy goes on in the book to continue
to share God’s faithfulness and love for him. He has since married for a second
time, is the proud dad of three kids and continues to share his story through
the music he writes.
I knew a
bit about Jeremy Camp’s story before reading the book, but I didn’t know all of
the details. I now have an even greater appreciation for the song “I Still
Believe” and I find a great amount of comfort and confidence in Jeremy’s story.
God can take all circumstances and work them out for good and for the
furthering of his kingdom.
I received
