God is going to use someone to walk in purpose, meaning, destiny and anointing. So why not you? You can operate in your God-given abilities when you operate out of your God-given identity.

There is a very human tendency to believe the best for others and the worst for ourselves. To believe that someone else can operate in their full potential, while we settle to exist in our scraps of talent and personal limitations. But what if we could identify these lies for what they are and learn to take hold of the life God has actually called us to?

When Ed Newton was ten years old, a woman at McDonald's prophesied over him that God was going to use him in a great way. Ed, who was eating lunch with his deaf parents, didn't even have a relationship with the Lord at the time. He had no idea that the story that God was writing would one day be something he'd feel compelled to share with others.

Ed has walked the road of biblical identity and is now inviting others to do the same. Why Not You is filled with his stories of growing up as a child of deaf parents (CODA) as well as other life experiences. Ed shows how the truth of God’s Word can cut through the web of self-doubt so many followers of Christ struggle with and show them who God created them to be. This book will help readers:

  • battle through negative self-talk, doubts, and insecurities;
  • retrain their minds to view themselves from God's perspective;
  • see their setbacks as setups for success;
  • stop questioning their gifts and talents and start living in them.

Backed with Scripture and a raw look at his journey from childhood until a miraculous, spiritual encounter with the Lord in early 2024, Ed shows readers that it’s not only possible for God to use them, but that God wants to use them. Each chapter challenges readers to confidently walk in the calling and identity God has placed on their lives.
