Summary

Whether you are searching for your calling or wholeheartedly pursuing your life's purpose, Brian Houston's transformative approach to life will help you navigate a faith path that is all your own and discover unique gifts tailored perfectly for your journey.

Thirty-five years ago, when Brian Houston set out to pioneer a church with 30 people in a school hall, he had no idea how many highs and lows, sacrifices and miraculous opportunities he would face. Over time his tiny church grew into the worldwide Hillsong ministry, leading people all over the globe to follow the greatest guide who ever walked the path of life - Jesus.

In this straightforward book, Brian Houston shares his own life-tested experiences and the powerful biblical truths he's learned that will enable you to live fully, love completely, and lead boldly - the hallmarks of Jesus' time on Earth. When it comes to life with Jesus, there is no doubt - your best is yet to come!

Brian Houston is the founder and senior pastor of Hillsong Church. With global campuses around the world, including New York and Los Angeles, Hillsong has a combined weekly attendance of over 90,000. Houston hosts one of the fastest growing daily international broadcasts in the world. He is also executive director for Hillsong Music, one of the world's largest producers of Christian music. He and his wife, Bobbie, have three grown children and live in Sydney, Australia, and Orange County, California.

Three listens in - it’s still super inspiring.

I’m not sure how many more times I’ll listen to this, but the inspiration still flows every time. Three down, and perhaps the same again throughout the year ahead.

Perseverance and consistency in the face of highs and lows, great and small, walking out his faith.

So good. Thank you.

An honest account of Brian's struggles.

As always, Brian Houston delivers a very easy to listen to message. His surprisingly honest account of his personal disappointment with family is much needed where some may want to gloss over for the sake of a more positive account. I found this refreshing, and always respected the way he dealt decisively with the issue he talks about.

Love this book

Honest, thought provoking, biblically focused. The real life examples- not always pretty- resonate and inspire. I will definitely listen to it again and again.

Uplifting

Brian brings this book alive as if he is just sitting chatting to you. He tells of the ups n downs of his life and that of his family and the Hillsong Church he leads. I have really began to believe that God has a real purpose for me and that He will see it through. This book has given me direction and hope I didn't realise I was missing. Now I know what to pray for and to expect great things from the Lord because He has a plan for me to prosper.

It does exactly what it says on the tin!

What did you like most about Live, Love, Lead?

This is an honest and open account of a journey that is blessed by God through trust and faith in His Creative love.

What did you like best about this story?

The practical implications of human weakness and the difficulties we face everyday only serve to strengthen us when we trust God and have faith and hope in Jesus. The events portrayed in this book are testimony to Gods heart of love for us all.

What does Brian Houston bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The start and end of each chapter is accompanied by lyrics and music that brings a deeper spiritual relevance to the content of the book. Obviously this experience can only be brought by an audible book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved by hearing how times of difficulty and struggle had given birth to beautiful songs of praise and worship. The chapters draw you into a sense of thankfulness and awe.

Any additional comments?

Getting ready to listen all over again!

Insightful!

Really enjoyed this book. It is about church leadership and tells the story about the challenges and triumphs that one of the most successful international churches has had over the years.

Brian Houston is very honest and very brave to share some of things he says. At times this took my breath away and made the book come to life as there were some very real struggles.

This is a book for anyone, but especially for people with a Christian faith who may be involved in their local church. There were some lovely snippets of music from Hillsongs Church which I loved.

Well done Brian!!
