ABOUT

I Found Love title

From the influential and ever-growing movement I Am Second, a remarkable collection of stories of people searching for and finding love.

When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization intended simply to tell stories of lives changed utterly by people placing God first and themselves second. Although the organization has exploded in size and influence since, that original mission has remained the same--and continues to have enormous power and influence today. I Found Love is the highly anticipated new book from I Am Second, gathering together stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness and found it only when they surrendered to God. People whose stories appear include the following, among others:

  • David and Tamela Mann
  • Jason Castro
  • Sean Lowe
  • Stephen Baldwin

Moving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God and always unsatisfied until we find the love of God.

PRAISE

“I Am Second’s storytelling ability shines throughout I Found Love, bringing truth, hope, and strength during times of uncertainty. These stories of redemption, especially the dramatic and miraculous testimony of my friend Ryan Ries, are exactly what we need to hear today.”

—Brian “Head” Welch, legendary Korn guitarist

“I Found Love is a gripping read and retell of the greatest love story of all time. The variety and scope of the stories included prove there is hope out there for anyone and everyone. We all long to belong and feel loved . . . and the reality is, that is possible with God. I encourage anyone who is hurting or lonely to dive into the honest and true stories included in this book.”

—Autumn Miles, author and host of the podcast The Autumn Miles Show

“I Found Love includes the story of my dear friend and combat veteran Chad Robichaux, who is as tough as they come. But even a battle-hardened American Spartan can be brought to his knees by an invisible enemy. Chad’s life is one that realized Jesus Christ had to be the champion, the Warrior of his heart, in order for him to find true strength.” 

—Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West (US Army, retired), member 112th US Congress

“I am a curious soul. I want to know a character’s history. I Found Love takes the stories from I Am Second’s website, which we all love, and takes them to a whole other level by adding details and backstory not found in the films. I love that I can consume the book at my own pace. All at once or in bite-sized pieces.”

—Tiffini Kilgore, founder, House of Belonging; author, Misfit Table

“In I Found Love the common thread of all the I Am Second stories is I Found Jesus. When we fall in love with Jesus everything else will fall into place. Only when we stop wanting to be first can God start being first. ‘He must increase I must decrease’ (John 3:30).”

—Dave Robbins, musician with Blackhawk and the Outlaws

“With diversity of stories and added background information, I Found Love appeals to just about anyone. Whether you had love, are in love, or are searching for love, this book provides clarity of just where the purest of love is found.”

—Carol Bevil, Fuel Body Feel Soul blogger
