Product placement

Emma Grede (author): ACTS - her book "Start With Yourself" is the central theme and is shown multiple times. Removing it would fundamentally change the video's purpose. Saints Book Club (organization): APPEARS - appears on the book cover and a banner, likely associated with the author's book club. Removing it would not change the video's core message about the book.
