About this listen

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Millions know Emily Maynard Johnson from her appearances on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. At the end of a long, fruitless search for a husband, Emily found that waiting right in front of her all along was the truest love of all: the unconditional love of the Lord.

Overcome with embarrassment following her nationally televised heartbreaks, Emily finally committed herself to the only one she knew would never leave her empty and alone. Abandoning her need to be chosen by men and finding peace in the fact that she was already chosen by God, Emily found the joy she had been looking for in serving God.

I Said Yes chronicles Emily's experiences on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and the way that God turned her life upside down through the knowledge and acceptance of His true love.

As Emily sheds light on her life as a believer in the spotlight, she teaches us:

  • How to embrace the gift of true redemption
  • What it means to fully surrender your heart to God
  • How to say yes to God's ways, God's love, and God's timing

In I Said Yes, Emily tells the story of her life before and after reality TV fame, describing the profound new reality she discovered when she traded fame in favor of the Lord--and to that unconditional love, Emily said yes.

I’m not the biggest Emily Maynard fan, or Bachelor franchise fan but I thought that this book could be interesting so I gave it a shot.

Never have I listened to a book so quickly as I did. Emily tells her journey from childhood to all things bachelor and to now being a married women. Some parts were sad, a lot were funny, and the whole book is relatable. It was easy listening and I loved every minute of it :)

Highly recommend
