Behind the Lights
BEHIND THE LIGHTS – RELEASES 04.12.2022
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 Better Together, 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.

FROM THE MOTHER CHRISTIAN MUSIC’S MOST ACCOMPLISHED ARTISTS COMES A STORY OF FAMILY, FAITH, AND TRUSTING GOD THROUGH THE PROCESS.
When Hellen 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 this memoir, Helen’s heartfelt story illustrates what it means to really let God lead, which almost always means living outside the normal box of how the world says we are to live. She provides her own unique, inside view of the successes as well as the valleys 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.
Written from a place of love and passion for the family God has given her, Helen’s journey includes:
- Meeting her husband with a cockatoo in tow
- The family’s blind move to the states
- The kindness of neighbors that gave them the start they so desperately needed
- Years of touring alongside Rebecca
- And individual profiles of each of Helen and David’s accomplished children
Australian-born and raised, Helen Smallbone dedicated her life to Christ as a young teen at Sydney Billy Graham Crusade. Now a mother to six and grandmother to nine children, Helen is also a co-founder of the MUMlife ministry. She currently lives outside of Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, David, and a small menagerie of animals.
