I am reviewing a copy of This Kind of Love: The Overwhelming Power of Promises, Patience, and Faith through Worthy Publishing, FaithWords and NetGalley:
This book will take you on a journey of love with popular YouTubers Kaelin and Kyrah Edwards as they grow from young and in love, believing the hard part of life is over, to adulthood, filled with both challenges and opportunities. Kaelin and Kyrah Edward's viral video of 2016 (Crazy Girlfriend Throws iPhone in the Pool!) thrust them into the spotlight with a velocity that they never could have imagined. Since that time, they have grown up in front of their audience—they have built their relationship, gotten married, grown their family through the births of their two little boys. What started off for them as the posting of a prank video has evolved into an engaged viewership of over 2 million on their various social channels that looks to them for guidance in how to make good life decisions.
This Kind of Love follows the Edwards' family's adventure as they learn to live through the lens of God's promises and principles, such as:Waiting to have sex until marriage out of obedience to God's plan for our lives.Waiting to take the time to lay a foundation for our future rather than rushing to get on with life.Waiting for God's plan for our lives to be revealed.Waiting for God's timing.Waiting for God to refine our character.Waiting for one another to become who we will be.Waiting for God to come through when trouble comes.In This Kind of Love. In This Kind of Love Kaelin and Kyrah invite the readers to join their often tumultuous journey and experience—alongside of them the joy and beauty that comes through waiting for God to do His work in our lives.
I give This Kind of Love five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
I wasn’t previously familiar with Kaelin and Kyrah,
but I have to say the cover drew me in. I was so curious to learn more about them and Im glad I did. They have lots of interesting stories and information to share. It was a really nice enjoyable read.
Premise
Follow popular YouTubers Kaelin and Kyrah Edwards as they grow from young and in love, believing the hard part of life is over, to adulthood, filled with both challenges and opportunities. Kaelin and Kyrah Edward's viral video of 2016 (Crazy Girlfriend Throws iPhone in the Pool!) thrust them into the spotlight with a velocity that they never could have imagined. Since that time, they have grown up in front of their audience—they have built their relationship, gotten married, grown their family through the births of their two little boys. What began for them as the posting of a prank video has evolved into an engaged viewership of over 2 million on their various social channels that looks to them for guidance in how to make good life decisions.
Not being a YouTube watcher, I had no idea who this young couple was. Never having watched reality television, that people would reveal details of their lives online and that others would avidly watch is totally foreign to me. But in that world of living in public, Kaelin and Kyrah are popular.
They tell more of their story in this book. They write about meeting in the seventh grade, their on and off again friendship, struggling in faith, reconnecting and flirting via Twitter, dating, college struggles, marriage, starting a YouTube channel, having a child, marital troubles, growing in character.
Viewers of their YouTube channel will love the word for word conversations and the details of their thoughts and actions, even their marital spats, recorded in this book. The degree of sharing their personal lives is amazing. It is something this septuagenarian is not used to at all, being TMI. I did learn much about YouTube and making money from it, however. For young people who would find comfort and insight in reading about another person's personal experiences, this is a good book.
I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.
