Synopsis:

Recognized as “the most influential photographer on the Internet,” Jeremy Cowart is known as a photographer, hotelier, fund-raiser, teacher, artist, world uniter, lover of life, and man of adventure. What fans don’t always know is that Jeremy started out as a failure.
Growing up, Jeremy’s life was defined by the words I can’t do it. Thankfully, Jeremy’s parents reprogrammed his mind with a single sentence: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That simple truth propelled Jeremy to achieve greatness in many forms, including
running photo shoots with A-list clients, such as Sting, the Kardashians, President Obama, the Pope, and many more,launching the Help-Portrait movement to invest dignity and value in people from underserved communities and who were victims of tragedy, andlaunching the Purpose Hotel as a for-profit hotel chain designed to fuel the work of not-for-profit organizations.

I’m Possible is an extension of Jeremy’s belief that greatness must serve a greater purpose. It’s a book that will inspire readers with the message that all things are possible when we actively engage our God-given purpose to change the world.

Review:

I wanted this book mainly for Miss Grace to read, but ended up reading it before she did! For EVERY kid who says "I can't",  THIS is the book to give them to read! Jeremy's life has been filled with that phrase, yet he never let he determine his future, but trusted God to help him through. He took the opportunity to see a different path from the one that might have been blocked, or to see a way around the obstacle blocking him. EVERY time. That is something very important for kids to read- they can, WITH God's help! You really can't leave this book without seeing not only hope for our world, but rethinking what YOU have left aside because you thought it wasn't possible. It's a great book to speak to tweens and teens especially, in a way they are comfortable with, to see how God CAN inspire them as well!  And since it's coming out TODAY, you can add it to their Easter baskets this weekend!
