    Praise for What If Love Is the Point?:

    "This is more than a book. It's a story of freedom, hope, redemption, and love. Being in the public eye, I understand the struggles they faced (and continue to face), individually and as a couple. I recognize myself in a lot of the stories they share. What If Love Is the Point? helped me heal from life's wounds. It taught me that I'm not alone and I know this book will help so many others grow their faith and live out love. I didn't want it to end."

    —Sam Acho, author of Let the World See You, analyst at ESPN, and nine-year NFL linebacker
