Hollywood actors and married couple Carlos and Alexa PenaVega have released their breakthrough memoir.
Titled “What If Love Is The Point?: Living for Jesus in a Self-Consumed World,” it was released via the publisher HarperCollins.
This book shares their inspiring stories of transformation. Carlos and Alexa tell-all with how they both felt lost and searched for meaning, only to realize that living for Jesus and loving others is what life is all about.
Despite the opportunities that they gained from their successful acting roles–Carlos on Nickelodeon’s “Big Time Rush,” and Alexa in the “Spy Kids” movies, the popular actors also faced many difficult challenges.
Carlos was struggling with the influences of Hollywood and was reeling from a broken relationship. Alexa was healing from a divorce and an eating disorder she kept hidden.
The couple remarked in a press statement, “We wanted to talk about it all. We wanted to write about all the junk, the ‘norms’ in society that aren’t good for us, how to navigate friendships, what it’s like becoming a parent, and how we learned to draw healthy boundaries at work. But we mainly want to ask, ‘What’s the point? What’s the point of all of this living?'”
After a mutual friend separately invited them to a bible study, Carlos and Alexa began to see God’s answers to that question. Now, seven years of marriage and three children later, they have built a thriving relationship and a family centered on their faith.
This book is their shared testimony about the true joy they’ve experienced and the insights that have changed their lives.
Carlos remarked, “The only way to be impactful in this world for Christ is to be consistent. We’re not always going to be perfect, but we will always strive to live in a manner worthy of His love.”
“Choosing to be consistent is what takes the fear out of our life,” Alexa said. “We no longer worry about what people think about us on social media. If we mess up, we own up to it and apologize for it. We don’t just show perfect moments.”
“Writing this book was a wonderful and cathartic way to reflect on how God has always worked in every situation in our lives. It was a cool, awesome, and healing way to talk about the many things that have gone on in our lives up till now,” Alexa elaborated.
The couple is eager to share with readers the truth they’ve uncovered: the more we surrender to God, the more we become who we really are.
