“Somebody should do something about that!” We hear it and say it frequently. Maybe we have felt that the “somebody” needed to be somebody else because we were not capable, we didn’t have the financial or influential means, or that we just didn’t have the time; but maybe God wanted us to be that “somebody.” Maybe He wants you to be “somebody” today. With God, we can be “somebody.” When we work with Him according to His plan, He will provide the abilities and the means. Discover the possibilities. Be somebody! I will do what I can, where I am, with “I AM.”

1 review for I Can With I AM
Sheila Luck’s book, I Can With I AM, is a wonderful book. It’s small but filled with Biblical truths and practical helps. I received a preview copy of this book from Aneko Press in exchange for my honest review and it’s my honor to give it a big thumbs up!
As I read Sheila’s book, I was impressed with her optimism. She admits she didn’t always feel this way but felt a deep desire to be somebody. It took her years to understand her definition of being somebody and God’s definition of the same thing were vastly different. She says, “Simply by our faith in Jesus Christ, we are somebody. But it doesn’t end there. With God, the Great I AM, we can become somebody by the way we live. We can make a real difference in the world around us.”
Throughout her book, Ms. Luck helps the reader understand God is the One who sets the plans for our lives. She quotes Jeremiah 29:11 from the Holy Bible and reminds us God’s plans are good for us. They are plans to prosper us and not to harm us. They are plans to give us a hope and a future. Ms. Luck includes an example of her daughter, Chelsy, and how she discovered God’s plan for her life through stepping out in obedience. Chelsy had no idea why she felt the need to travel to Guatemala but as she surrendered to God’s will, she found complete peace in her decision.
Sheila says we must do what we can. She says it’s important to understand the concept, “start doing what I can where I am. What I can is something i can do today, with the time, materials, and skills I have today. It is step one. Maybe if I take step one, step two will become apparent, and the means to accomplish step two will become available.”
I Can With I AM, is a book that helps the reader first grasp the concept of the great I AM by explaining a little more about God’s character and plans for our lives. By using Scripture throughout her book, we don’t have to assume Ms. Luck knows what she’s talking about. The very Words of Christ give clear direction to the reader on how to live, how to love, and how to show compassion to others.
Each chapter of the book goes into great detail on understanding how we, as Christians, can learn to follow the example of Christ and live out that example in our daily lives. One of my favorite chapters in her book was titled Love God Out Loud. Ms. Luck says, in that chapter, “When we love, it causes us to do things for the one we love. We love out loud.” I’d never thought about my love for others being displayed in action but as Sheila points out, “Love is a verb, a word of action.”
Along with her practical instructions on how to walk in love, Ms. Luck also gives helpful tips on carefully loving. Using the example of her relationship with her daughters, Ms. Luck explains that sometimes, when she offers to help, her daughters see her wanting to help as criticism. She says, “sometimes unsolicited help is viewed in the same manner. Our daughters occasionally view my help as criticism. Their perception is that I don’t believe they’re sufficiently competent to handle the situation on their own. That is not my intent. In my heart, I’m trying to help make their lives more pleasant.” As I read this, I felt like Ms. Luck was describing a recent situation with one of my children. I was impressed, as I continued to read, her next piece of advice – “To do love, in the most loving way, we must understand what the one we love wants us to do, and not just assume we know what’s best.” Wow! I’d never thought of that concept before. I would certainly implement it at the next opportunity to assist my daughters.
If I had to sum up the message contained in I CAN with I AM, I’d have to say Ms. Luck wants the reader to understand the capability to do anything rests in the strength God provides. As we understand who we are in Christ and how He equips us to love others, we can do anything if we are only willing.
