We may not always know where God is leading us, and like the prodigal son, we can often be led astray. So how do we find our way back? When Nick Lyerly received his call to the ministry, he was already settled with a family and a promising career. But even though answering the call would bring insurmountable challenges, he could not deny his true purpose. However, the road to Nicks dream of becoming a Methodist minister would be paved with hardship. In Finding My Way Home, author and pastor Nick Lyerly shares his story of overcoming in the face of struggle, hardship, and disappointment. During his early years, Nicks family was struck by tragedy, and he became a rebellious youth, acting out in ways that would constantly haunt him. In spite of this, Nick grew to be devout Christian who would hear the call from God. Nicks faith and marriage would be put to the test while he attended seminary for four years away from his wife and son, but he remained steadfast. Yet even as he fulfils this call and ministers his own church, an unforeseen event would threaten his career before it had even begun. Was this part of Gods plan? Even though our lives may not always turn out the way we plan, God can provide us with peace and joy through all the soul-searching, frustration, and indecision. Join Nick on his remarkable journey of self-discovery and redemption as he finds his way back home to God.

After many years of searching, John Houston found his way home—his true home. Now, he wants to help you do the same. John Houston has spent the past sixteen years building for others what he didn’t always have for himself growing up: a family home. Today, John is one of the premier custom home builders in Texas. Throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you see signs proudly presenting “John Houston Custom Homes” that paint a picture of the kind of home life John would have done anything to have as a child. From a young age, home was not a place where John wanted to be. After his parents divorced and his mother moved out, his father remarried and moved in with his new family. John and his older brother struggled to adjust and began living by themselves with little to no adult supervision at the ages of 11 and 15. They helped support themselves financially by working long hours running a lawncare business before and after school. The years that followed were challenging but also marked by God’s protection, even when John didn’t realize it, as he overcame hardships that could have permanently derailed his life. He met and married the woman of his dreams, completed his education and became a respected and successful business owner. And he isn’t confused for one second about who’s ultimately responsible for his success: God. In Finding My Way Home, John Houston reflects on a life of trials, hardships, and painful mistakes through the lens of gratitude for God’s enduring faithfulness. He explains, “God created a story with my life that puts a spotlight on His mercy and grace—a story of my anger and His forgiveness; of the broken family I grew up in and His restoration; of my demanding ‘leadership’ as a husband and father and His model for me to lead with love.”
