Publisher's Summary

Founder and Global Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church and author of Live Love Lead shows how, with God's power, you can believe and achieve a life that exceeds every earthly expectation. When you surrender control and follow God's guidance, you become empowered and equipped to do the impossible, reach higher, and go further than you could have ever imagined - giving him all the glory. 

By building our lives around godly principles, surrounding ourselves with wisdom, and living for a cause greater than ourselves, we can effectively live out God's purposes and have an enduring impact. As Brian Houston has personally discovered, when we depend on Jesus as the source for our identity, our lives can be a lasting legacy that maximize the gifts he has given each of us as unique individuals. 

There is More is for anyone who wants to be challenged to live with expectancy. Ephesians 3 is a call to release the immeasurable potential within you and the exceeding, abundant, and above plans and purposes of a Holy God that are beyond your greatest imagination. "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen" (Ephesians 3:20-21).

Selfhelp cliches for Hillsong

I really tried to like it. As part of Hillsong, I felt that this was my duty, but I gave up. . .
The first problem is his voice which is just unsuited for narration.
The second problem is that this book is so fluffy, it is like a self-help book, but with a Christian cover.
Nothing noteworthy about it. It does some heavy flirting with prosperity gospel, but as far as I can tell, never really crosses the line. Nothing completely out of orthodoxy, just a bunch of fluff.
I did not return the book. I did finish it despite almost giving up several times. not because it was difficult, just...bla.

So encouraging!

This book is faith building, encouraging and full Biblical truth. Highly recommend if you want God to do in you and through you.

Read the Book Instead!

The book is not too bad. It had a few things worth remembering, but the narration was terrible. I don't mean to sound harsh but his voice sounds like he's sick & the number of mispronounced words is laughable. I suggest reading the book on your own, or as the narrator would say, "owen."

Great encouragement

Challenging you to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus Christ by opening your heart more fully and deeply by digging in to The Bible, by prayer, in praise and in trusting in Christ’s steadfast love and faithfulness for you.If you are feeling out of place, at the end of your rope or thinking that this season of life may be your last— listen to this book and be encouraged.

Perfect!

Powerful! Impactful! This answered so many questions for me, while uplifting me and encouraging me on so many levels!!

False Gospel

Although many of the ideas addressed in this book can be found in the Bible, I found that the majority of the book was experiential narrative. And even so, many of the stories lacked a punch to really be "book worthy", let alone parables or allegories to relate to the Biblical narrative. On top of that, I found many misinterpretations of scripture, which leaned heavily upon the false prosperity gospel of our generation. Unfortunately, this is a commonly accepted belief among those claiming Christ. I would encourage those of you who align with Brian Houston, and the like's, views on the gospel, to really search your scriptures... Dive into commentaries, thumb through your lexicon, and pray that the Spirit would lead you in correct understanding of Christ's work, purpose, and his calling toward us, especially in regards to the intended nature of our relationship and interactions with God. My prayer is that all would come to the truth, and set aside desires for worldly prosperity... Trading it in for eternal communion with our creator and heavenly reward.
