Synopsis

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.”

Goodreads review by Scott on May 04, 2022

This is a wild story of rags to riches—to rags again and the beck to riches, but the last time with internal riches AND external riches. I know John personally and can vouch for his character. He’s the real deal, but I didn’t realize how dramatic this story would be. Short read with a strong Christi......more

I love to read books but I especially love to read books when I personally know the author. John’s heart is solid gold. His story of a broken childhood to a successful entrepreneur is inspiring, to say the least. I love his heart to impact the kingdom thru his resources. Happy book debut, John!......more
