I Said Yes: My Story of Heartbreak, Redemption, and True Love
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
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:
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.

March 7, 2016
Johnson, former contestant on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, tells her story of sudden loss and the earnest search for true love in front of the camera. When Johnson was 18, she was living with her longtime boyfriend when he suddenly died in a helicopter crash. Days after his death, she found out she was pregnant. Johnson shares her journey as a young and inexperienced single mom actively grieving, detailing the difficulties moving from job to job before a friend sent a letter on her behalf to the producers of The Bachelor. Viewers of the program know that Johnson won the coveted final rose of the competition, but her engagement was short-lived. A few years later, she appeared on The Bachelorette, and once again the subsequent relationship soured. Now married, Johnson firmly believes that her happily-ever-after finally arrived when she stopped running from God. Johnson is candid about struggles with her faith and shares snippets of her stop/start relationship with God throughout the text, but readers looking for an in-depth commitment to Christ will be disappointed.
