Description

Has the word promise lost its meaning? "Too often we make promises little and big that we do not honor.

A promise to your dad. A promise to yourself. It becomes easy to say 'I'll get to it' or 'Tomorrow.'" On the morning of September 9th, 2012, Alex Sheen spoke these words at this father's funeral in a eulogy titled because I said I would.

Fighting back tears, Alex talked about how his dad always kept his promises. Alex introduced the idea of Promise Cards at his father's funeral.

You write your promise on a card, and then you give it to the person you are making that commitment to as a symbol of your honor.

The only way to earn the card back is to keep your promise.

Alex offered to mail these cards to anyone who had a promise to make, at no cost to them. What was meant to be the final words honoring one man's life would become a new beginning for millions.

The Promise Card became a worldwide phenomenon. By request only, over 9.81 million Promise Cards have been distributed to over 150 countries. because I said I would is a collection of stories and promises made by the people who received those cards.

Heartwarming, humorous, inspirational, and tragic--these stories will challenge readers to look deep within themselves and consider the importance of the promises they make.

This book offers unique life lessons, not from experts or academics, but rather from everyday people who fight through adversity to honor their word.
