Picking up where the bestselling book I Can Only Imagine left off, this true story of heartache and hope from MercyMe’s lead singer, Bart Millard, and his wife, Shannon, shows us that even our deepest wounds can become windows to God’s grace.
MercyMe was just a small worship band from Texas until January 2002, when Bart Millard’s song “I Can Only Imagine” swept across the airwaves. Suddenly Bart, his bandmates, and their families were riding a wave of success beyond their wildest dreams.

Then everything changed again. Bart and Shannon lost Shannon’s brother to a tragic accident. Their second child was born prematurely. Their oldest child was diagnosed with diabetes. Their marriage struggled as Bart spent more and more time on the road, feeling the weight of the band’s success on his shoulders. They wrestled with their faith. Is God still good, they wondered, even when our world is falling apart?
Drawing on Bart’s powerful song of the same name, Even If is a beautifully raw exploration of what it means to follow Jesus when life doesn’t turn out the way we expected. With deep vulnerability and hard-won hope, Bart and Shannon invite us into their story—a story not of perfect outcomes because of what we do but a story of redemption because of who God is.
In the midst of the marketing mayhem, Bart still manages to have some fun! Take a look!
