An intimate and inspirational memoir from the longtime host of Big Brother and former moderator of The Talk. Julie Chen Moonves shares her transformative spiritual awakening, revisiting pivotal moments from her life and career through fresh eyes. This as-told-to story is a unique, conversational audio experience that will put you in the room with Julie as she recounts her faith journey and favorite scripture passages while inspiring listeners to find their path.
Julie Chen Moonves spent the first 48 years of her life ignoring God. She had never even attended a Sunday church service. For much of her life, her impressive yet demanding career was her priority with little time or energy for spirituality. But in 2018, Julie’s life was turned upside down, and the sudden shift in perspective opened her eyes to the biggest opportunity of all: a personal relationship with God.
In But First, God, you’ll feel as though you’re sitting across from Julie as she weaves together memories with reflections on scripture, prayer, and how finding God has changed every facet of her life, from her on-camera work to her role as a wife and mother. She’ll take listeners behind the scenes of her career, telling never-before-heard stories from her first job as a reporter through becoming a network news anchor, two decades hosting the reality competition show Big Brother, and 8 seasons moderating the Emmy award-winning daytime talk show The Talk. But First, God reveals who the real Julie is when the cameras stop rolling, and looks back at the highs and lows of her journey with a new perspective. Julie shows how scripture is leading her walk with God, and how every listener can find their joy and peace in faith.
I have to say that I don't normally enjoy listening to audio books, but I was really intrigued and wanted to learn of Julie Chen Moonves's Testimony and how she came to Accept Christ.
I truly enjoyed listening to her Testimony and how she is now a stronger person through Christ. Julie had some Life and Family Struggles. She was at the height of her career Co-Host of The TALK on CBS and Host of Big Brother when her world came crashing down. Her husband, Les Moonves, was CEO of CBS Network, and in 2018 accusations of Sexual Misconduct were revealed. Les Moonves ultimately resigned from CBS and Julie was forced out as host of The TALK. She only revealed the Force Out in this Audiobook. Many had believed she made the decision to leave. Julie is very open and honest in her Memoir and says after she came to Christ, she reconciled with many whom she felt she did wrong in the past. Life Scandals, Happenings and so much more can lead one to pray and that is what Julie Chen Moonves did. She came to Christ in 2019 and has been living her life for him since then. I LOVE this quote that I read from Julie: "God before anything and everything," she said. "Once I started that, I found peace, but most of all I found hope."
I HIGHLY recommend this Memoir to anyone who needs to hear encouragement and know that God is there for them just as he was for Julie Chen Moonves. GREAT BOOK!
