First, I was very pleased with this audiobook. The reading is very clear and pleasant, and the pacing is perfect and easy to follow. I listened during long commutes in city traffic and found it easy to understand despite the noise in my environment. It was also easy to pick up where I had left off despite having to start and stop at odd places in the narrative. For those who knew Lance Lambert, this reading brings to life his intelligence, his wit and humor, as well as his deep love and reverence for the house of the Lord. I highly recommend it.
As for the book itself, I found it to be an important historic record, but also an extremely practical manual. It is not too lengthy, and yet it is very rich. It is full of important principles and practical examples of how a group of believers can truly bring every decision to the Lord and receive from Him clear direction in every aspect of corporate life. It is valuable both in its retelling of the history of Halford House, and in the hope and challenge that it brings to all believers today to seek a real and living relationship with the Lord in their prayer life. This book demonstrates what is possible when we truly seek the Lord. I found it inspiring and deeply convicting. It is a testimony to the faithfulness of God as shown throughout many stories and witnesses. In these uncertain times, it is a great encouragement and a reminder that the Lord we can go to the Lord in prayer and He will answer from Heaven. Sometimes with humor but always according to His unfailing providence.
Those who knew Lance Lambert may have heard some of these anecdotes at one point or another but it is wonderful to find them all gathered and organized into one complete, chronological retelling of the Lord’s provision throughout the early years of this body of believers. I found myself laughing out loud at times; other times it brought tears to my eyes. I realized how much I miss Lance and also how little I know about his early ministry. This book serves many purposes all at once and I believe that all readers will find something to take from it that will make a real difference in their daily life.

Just a closer walk with Jesus—isn’t that the desire God Himself has put within every heart truly born of God? Lance’s book Let The House of God Be Built is, I believe, purposed by God to draw the reader’s heart into that closer, purer, truer walk with God. This is so much more than just another testimonial book about spiritual things although, indeed, the book is a most remarkable testimony of proven experience of more than seventy years of a life well lived in fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Walking with Lance through his story of the spiritual house built by God is a bit like I imagine walking with Jesus on the road to Emmaus must have been like as the Lord explained the old covenant Scriptures concerning Himself. The reader will be given instruction, exhortation, encouragement, and will be warned all while seeing in new light what the church of the Living God truly is, what it means to be part of a living organism of which Christ alone is Head, and how to “simply and naturally” abide as His child, as His servant, and as a company of believers…in His presence, under His authority and to His glory. The reader with a heart for intercession will gain a wealth of understanding in how one experiences the burden of the Lord together with the Intercessor Himself so as to effectively overcome the works of the devil in loosening what is loosed in Heaven and binding on earth what is bound in Heaven by the Spirit of God. The Lord enabled His servant, Lance, to share testimony in a way that seems to transport the hearer as if we were watchers present on the scene of the event being described. Lance Lambert is many things—a proven bond-servant of Jesus Christ, a brother to all who share the life of the risen Lord, an intercessor, teacher, a prophet, a writer; and Lance was a faithful watchman calling out for the benefit of others all that he was given to see. Perhaps Lance’s instruction and his example all boil down to what it really means to watch…so as to to pray according to the heart and mind of God that we all might walk ever more closely with the Lord.
