About this ebook

When Helen Smallbone and her husband David packed up their six children, including the Grammy-winning Rebecca St. James and For King and Country’s Luke and Joel Smallbone, and made the move from Australia to the United States, it was under the promise that God would always provide, no matter the hardships.

In Behind the Lights, Helen’s goal is to inspire by example what it means to really let God lead, which almost always means living outside the expectations set by society. Living counterculture to the world’s ways, even to the church’s “religious” traditions, creates circumstances that tests one’s faith and reveals just how committed we are to living for His plan and not our own.

Helen’s family’s journey--including an empty house in Tennessee, the generosity of neighbors, and an all-hands-on deck approach to an international concert tour--is a living testimony of what it means to trust in God’s promises, leading, and timing, especially when difficult circumstances challenge our faith. She gives her own unique, inside view of the successes and setbacks her family has endured and the constant faithfulness and provision she received from God along the way. He has redeemed each loss beyond what she could have hoped or imagined and knows that what He’s done in her life, He will do in ours.
