| Audio CD Description Houston televangelist Joel Osteen is well qualified to write this book, having used the seven principles he shares to achieve his own "rags-to-riches" story. At the heart of Osteen’s message is that achieving a successful, prosperous life of fulfillment can only occur when we stop worrying about the past or future to make the most of each present moment by using our God-given strengths and talents to achieve our goals. The key to doing so are the seven steps Osteen outlines: Enlarge Your Vision, Develop a Healthy Self-Image, Discover the Power of Your Thoughts and Words, Let go of the Past, Find Strength Through Adversity, Live to Give, and Choose to Be Happy. Mixing biblical teachings with his own personal experiences, Osteen explains each of these seven steps in an encouraging, optimistic manner that makes them accessible to anyone interested in principles of personal growth. Although written with a Christian slant, the seven steps Osteen shares will have value to anyone wanting to know more about practical steps of self-betterment, regardless of their denomination.--Larry Trivieri Jr. |

Joel Knows His Business I am pleased to see that there are more positive reviews of this book than negative. I used to watch Joel Osteen's father, John preach on t.v. John Osteen was a powerful, dynamic preacher with a life-changing message. Joel Osteen practices what he preaches, and his book reflects that. When his father passed away, Joel took over Lakewood Church in Houston -- an awesome task, considering the fact that he had to follow in his father's footsteps and meet the expectations of a huge church membership. I'm sure It wasn't easy for him in the beginning, and I have watched him grow over the years. Joel Osteen knows what he is talking about because he has been there, and simply wants to share his knowledge with others. Read the book, change your life if you want to, and most of all, understand that a loving God created us to be our very best for Him and for ourselves.
Inspirational and motivating. Joel Olsteen's message to reaching a prosperous life is using God's gifts to achieve our goals. Instead of doing this, we dwell on the past, we worry about what the future holds and in doing so, we neglect the present. Olsteen offers that God wants us to be happy and have a successful life, making the most of every moment. We need to look at each vicissitude optimistically, eagerly anticipating each challenge as opportunity to grow.
This is a cleanly written book; Olsteen avoids redundancies common to such books and does not slip into an exegesis in theology. On a whole, I dislike Pastors' writings: they generally lack biblical foundation and overstate the obvious. Olsteen does neither. He writes from the bible, but in the manner one expects from a good Pastor. He keeps to the facts in the scripture and he is inspirational.
I highly recommend, with one caveat. Read it, then read it again with your bible and challenge every statement as it leads to a much more insightful read.
READ THIS BOOK, CHANGE YOUR LIFE I first saw Joel Osteen on BET giving his sermon and i paid it no attention. Then i really started to listen to his words and their meaning and i was blown away. So i had to get his book and wow, it really opened my mind and my heart. Read this book was an enlightening experience and if you need a little guidance, if you're a little lost then you should do two things One: You should get this book and Two: you should click "Yes" this review was helpful. I don't think you'll be disappointed. |
