ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Award-winning photographer Jeremy Cowart has traveled the globe photographing some of the biggest names in the music and entertainment industries. With boundless energy, indomitable faith and a mind ever-flowing with creative ideas, Cowart appears utterly tireless and rarely stops. There is always something unique and interesting going on in his world, whether it's starring in an episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, raising money to fight poverty through his Twitter feed, teaching photography online or taking the cover shot for Tim Tebow's best-selling autobiography.
Born in Nashville, Cowart continues to make Music City his home. Here in the comfort of familiar surroundings he draws continual inspiration from his wife, Shannon, and their two beautiful children, Aidler and Eisley, ages five and seven. Though he clearly considers his craft a labor of joy, when not holding a camera he has time for his favorite pastime which is doing anything that involves his children, and much to his delight, joy around the Cowart home is about to increase as the family is in the process of adopting two children from Haiti.

My Thoughts:

How many times have you sat and thought, "What can I do? I'm just one person."?

What's Your Mark? by Jeremy Cowart is a delightful book that shows exactly what one person can do. You don't need to be famous or have a huge bank account. All you need is a desire to love and help and God will do the rest through you.

Full of stories and photographs of people who have left a mark on the world, this inspirational book will make you think about what you have to offer others. Along with each story runs the Book of Mark (NIV). My only complaint is the interviews are too short. I want to know more!!

Treat yourself to some inspirational reading. You might just discover what your mark on the world will be!
