I Still Believe

by Jeremy Camp, David Thomas (With)

Overview

Newly revised and available in trade paper! I Still Believe shares Jeremy Camp’s journey of finding hope and healing through life’s toughest moments and the songs that came from his journey that have inspired a generation.

When Jeremy Camp lost his beloved wife Melissa just three months after their wedding, the last thing he wanted to do was sing praise to God. But even as he struggled through unimaginable grief and fought to hold on to his faith, God had other plans: Pick up your guitar. I have something for you to write.

Jeremy obeyed, pouring out his heart, writing about the hope that God was still there, even in his deepest grief. The song he wrote that day, “I Still Believe,” has gone on to inspire millions around the world.

This is the story behind that song and the movie that was inspired by it. It is an inside look at Jeremy’s life—from his difficult childhood and teenage years to the tragic passing of Melissa at age 21 and the spiritual journey that followed. Searching for hope and healing inspired some of Jeremy’s best-loved songs and led him, eventually, to find love again.

This revised edition of I Still Believe includes:

• 3 new chapters with updates on Jeremy’s family and the film release
• 8-page color insert with photos from Jeremy’s life
• Foreword by Bart Millard, singer/songwriter for MercyMe

I Still Believe is a powerful, heart-wrenching memoir about the strength of undying love and the power of faith—a must-read for Jeremy Camp fans and an inspiring, encouraging read for anyone who has experienced loss.

Editorial Reviews

Jeremy Camp’s memoir recounts the story of his spiritual journey and his Christian music. He reveals his difficult past and how his faith has helped him become stronger as an individual and as a musician. Narrator Adam Verner carefully parses Camp’s memoir, giving expressive emotion to the pivotal moments of Camp’s early life. His peaceful and tranquil voice provides authenticity to Camp’s Christian experiences and expresses the author’s excitement at discovering his faith. Inner thoughts are conveyed clearly, especially Camp’s need to be understood and to help others through what he has learned through Christianity. Camp’s book inspires as it provides encouragement for anyone seeking spiritual guidance, especially fans of his music. D.Z.
