I've enjoyed watching their life and family on social media and this was a cool way to feel almost like you are doing a devotional with friends instead of totally alone. I agreed with a lot of this and found it interesting and uplifting.

#LoveIsThePoint is a wonderful book about love. This book features 100 days of love. Alexa and Carlos PenaVega tell short stories each day about love involving them, their family, and friends. Each day they show ways to spread Godly love. Not only do you need to love your family and friends but you also need to love those you may not like very much. Show them love by doing things for them, sharing God's Word with them, being supportive, or just listening to someone. This book offers prompts which really helps me when I'm reading devotions because I need to be engaged to understand things better. My favorite parts are the Love In Action prompts. These prompts let you pick someone specifically to love that day, a person to focus your love, forgiveness, and prayers on for the day. I feel this is a very special part of each day.

The only thing I would change about this book is that I wish there were more scripture references. Don't get me wrong, there are some but I wish their was one each day.

I love Alexa and Carlos. I think they are wonderful people and I really loved their devotional. It felt personally but also Biblical sound. I will most definitely buy this devotional for myself as well as for my friends.

These two are such an example for others...especially coming from Hollywood where marriages can last mere hours. Love Is the Point highlights past struggles and shows how overcoming them makes for a happier, healthier present and future. Inspiring and relatable. Thank you to Nelson Books, Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for an ARC of this inspiring book. 4,5 stars

Love is the Point by Carlos and Alexa PenaVega is a 100-day devotional that focuses on God’s love and how to share it with those around us.

Each day has a short story providing examples of how Carlos and Alexa focus on God's love in their daily lives as well as a love in action task to complete. I especially loved the tasks as these actions encourage you to live with hearts full of love and to see all of the ways that God shows his love to us whenever we seek him. Love in action is what life is all about…Because Love Is The Point!

In Love is the Point, Carlos and Alexa PenaVega has written a book on critical it is to remember and focus on love and share it with others. Love should be the main point of our existence. This book is divided up into short devotionals for 100 days. They both realized that fame and being a celebrity couldn’t ever be the most important aspect of their lives and marriage. They explained how they were forgiven by God and loved by him. They shared how they learned to love each other and love their friends. They also shared a lot on one of their best friend’s, Andrew and how he chooses to reach out to others anytime they need assistance and is active example of love in action. They shared how he asked them to start a Bible study in their home. Lex explained how she wasn’t looking forward to it at the time and didn’t want to host and invite a lot of people in their home. She eventually agreed to and it tried out to be one of the best decisions she ever made. They had Bible study, worship, and fellowship with about 50 other people. She explained how we need to create our homes as a welcoming place for others and we can show them hospitality.


In the book, Los also opened up about his past struggles with pornography. When he received Christ, he began to feel led to give up this habit. God was calling in and instructing him to become more holy. He relied on the help of the Holy Spirit to help break this addiction. He suggested that readers find their one person who we fully trust and have them support us in our journey to let go. Lex also shared how she struggled with an eating disorder in her teens. Her own mother made a comment about Katharine McPhee and how when she revealed her own struggle with bulimia. She felt people would always judge her and she would forever be known as someone who dealt with bulimia. Her mother was just trying to protect her own daughter. But Lexa disagreed and knew she needed to acknowledge her secrets and bring them into the light. She shared how we need to share our deep secrets with someone we trust as we love in action task.



I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is ready to love stronger and learn to truly love others like Christ does. This book is extremely helpful for marriage couples to use as a devotional together. You could also benefit from it from being single it could help you to love in the future. Each day had a short story and a love in action task to complete. I especially loved the tasks and thought it immensely helped to live out love each day. There stories are very personal and they try to make the content relatable.
