People in Glass Houses

An Insider’s Story of a Life In and Out of Hillsong

De: Tanya Levin

Narrado por: Cat Gould

A true story of growing up in Hillsong—the Pentecostal church which draws nearly 100,000 attendees to its rock concert-like services in eleven countries around the world each week.

People in Glass Houses tells how a small church in a suburban Australian school hall became a multimillion-dollar tax-free enterprise and a powerful international force. Providing memorable portraits of charismatic leaders Brian and Bobbie Houston, this is a powerful, personal, and at times very funny exploration of an all-singing, all-swaying mega church.

Hillsong is a favorite among young celebrity churchgoers. Justin Bieber has tweeted that he “broke down” after hearing a sermon at Hillsong’s New York City location. Vanessa Hudgens has sung onstage during Hillsong’s worship services, and Selena Gomez, a regular at Hillsong’s location at downtown Los Angeles’s Belasco Theater, shared her Instagram cover of Hillsong’s No. 1 Billboard Christian Songs hit “Oceans”.

The church is more than a faith—it’s a brand. And one fraught with scandal.
