He's the pastor at Houston's Lakewood Church, considered the largest and among the fastest growing congregations in the country with over 25,000 people attending services every weekend. The publishers says it's his weekly television program that propelled the early interest in the book. His show goes out on six cable networks, including ABC Family, BET, Trinity Broadcasting and the Daystar Television Network. Plus, later this month he will be carried every Sunday on the Discover Channel as well. </blockquote></body> </html>
