How You Live is the twelfth album and seventh studio album from contemporary Christian music group Point of Grace. It was released on August 28, 2007 and has achieved critical and commercial success, peaking at #56 on the Billboard 200 and at #4 on the Billboard Christian & Gospel Album Charts.
The success of the single "How You Live (Turn Up The Music)" earned the group the Dove Award for Country Recorded Song of the Year. The song's writer, Cindy Morgan, was awarded the Songwriter of the Year award, and the girls were nominated for four more awards. At the performance of the song on the live telecast, the girls were accompanied by Morgan on the piano, and their own Denise Jones on guitar.
This was also the group's last album as a quartet, as Heather Payne announced her retirement in June 2008, after in late 2007 she had given birth to her fourth child, a daughter, Ava.
Due to Payne's departure and the group's increasing popularity within the country music market, Warner Music Group commissioned a re-release of the album, labeled "deluxe edition." This edition added two new songs and an acoustic version of the title track.
