/About the Book
Living Beyond Limits, Labels, & Logic.
What if the very thing you’ve been afraid to do is the thing you were born to do?
Presumptuous is part memoir, part manual for how to live beyond the rules that were never meant for you. In Presumptuous: Living Beyond Limits, Labels, & Logic, Andrew James challenges readers to rethink what it means to be bold, audacious, and unwavering in pursuit of purpose.
Through deeply personal stories and thought-provoking insights, James transforms the word presumptuous from a negative label into a call to action-a mindset that fuels hope, possibility, and unstoppable faith.
This is not a self-help book. It's a permission slip for anyone bold enough to believe they were born to lead, build, and break molds. Whether you're seeking clarity, courage, or a shift in perspective, this book will equip you with the tools to step boldly into the life you were meant to live.

/About the Cause
Presumptuous is more than a book—it’s a battle cry.
Behind the message is a movement, and at the heart of it is Streams Community Hub—a registered charity co-founded by Andrew and his wife, Juli-Anne, that uses the arts to unlock creativity, confidence, and community in youth.
Since 2017, Streams has impacted hundreds of young people through camps, classes, and creative programs—offering over $140,000 in scholarships and removing barriers to participation.
Every book sold helps raise awareness and momentum for this mission.
