Description
Kevan is just one of the guys. It's impossible to know him and not become a little more excited about life. He is an inspiring man permeated by joy, unafraid of sorrow, full of vitality and life! His sense of humor is infectious and so is his story.
He grew up, he says, at "belt-buckle level" and stayed there until Kevan's beloved posse decided to leave his wheelchair at the Atlanta airport, board a plane for France, and have his friends carry him around Europe to accomplish their dream to see the world together! Kevan's beloved posse traveled to Paris, England, and Ireland where, in the climax of their adventure, they scale 600 feet up to the 1,400-year-old monastic fortress of Skellig Michael.
In We Carry Kevan the reader sits with Kevan, one head-level above everyone else for the first time in his life and enjoys camaraderie unlike anything most people ever experience. Along the way they encounter the curiosity and beauty of strangers, the human family disarmed by grace, and the constant love of God so rich and beautiful in the company of good friends. We Carry Kevan displays the profound power of friendship and self-sacrifice.

" My friends and I went on a trip, and they carried me in a backpack because we loved each other and we wanted to have the experience together, living life to the fullest, unhindered by our shortcomings." Kevan Chandler, from the Epilogue
"We Carry Kevan" was a tremendous read! I absolutely loved the story of Kevan's journey with several friends and a camera crew as they traversed Europe in 2016. I found myself transported to follow along with their adventures, complete with laughter and tears. To hear the amazing connections that were made, hearts that were touched and memories shared was an honor. Kevan writes in a way that is beautifully elegant and enriching. I highlighted much of the book as I read to return to later.
This is one you will want to read and reread. Perfect for gifts, resources for those serving the differently abled and simply for those who want to read a real story of what I like to call "rooftop friends' : those who will not let any obstacle keep them from getting new life experiences for their beloved friend.
I feel humbled to have had the opportunity to read "We Carry Kevan" early, thanks to #NetGalley. I loved this book!

WE CARRY KEVAN by KEVAN CHANDLER is a real inspiration - a beautifully written true story of friendship, courage and life lived to the full.
I love the way the author takes us through his feelings and emotions and the way he lives his life to honour Christ.
As Kevan is carried by his friends on amazing journeys we see love in action. We also see it in the follow up to the first journey in the way they use their experiences to help others live life to the full.
The traveling, hiking and climbing are not easy by any means, but Kevan and his band of friends push through exhaustion and pain, finding the reward well worth it.
I found this book easy to read and most encouraging. There is so much truth in it that it definitely deserves to be read again.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Worthy Publishing. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
