 I Can't But the Lord Can Written with simple sentences for beginning readers by Shanon Jungé Smith (also the illustrator), this book shows how understanding that all power comes from the Lord changes "I Can't" into "I Can," whether it is in helping to carry groceries, doing homework, or just feeling happy instead of sad. 20 pages.
