Awesome book, it actually is a gift. When I was going through a rough time in my marriage, I came across this book, and the LORD used it to restore my marriage and gave me such strength to move in my calling. I actually bought this book as a going away gift for someone I met a few weeks before she left. She was so happy I almost cry. I recommend it to so many people.

This is a true example on how watered down modern American Christianity has become. Joel tells all how to be good to one another or how God loves you and there is more than one way to heaven. He is way off. Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the father but by me. The key information is missing. Joel leaves out how we are to recognize we are all sinners. How God's law ( 10 commandments ) have been broken by us on a regular basis against God. God's has given us the tools to live by. We need to recognize that we have broken God's laws and we will pay the fine.God is a just God. The fine is death. However, God paid our fine. He died on the cross. He did this so we can be forgiven for our sins. All we need to do is repent and walk with Christ. Live for God not for ourselves. The book does not tell you this. It leaves it open for you to worship false Gods and just be good to one another. Remember, there is only one path that leads to Heaven. And that's through Jesus Christ. To sum it up. There is no foundation to this message in Joel's book. Read The Gospel according to John, Acts, Romans, 1,2 Corinthians.Read full review
Joel Osteen, Pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, talks about his family, church and children. The book is a reflection of his life to date. In Become a Better You, Joel gives many anecdotal stories as Pastor and Counselor from marriage issues to children to people struggling with their Jobs, their married life, and many other examples. Joel's message is a Bible based and spiritually uplifting thesis. You will learn from Joel's positive outreaching message at any age. Joel's message is that we must accentuate the positive [always] and that is his inspiration for all. There are insightful examples: a blind man in the hospital and the dog who likes to be treated so we should treat others and my favorite, the Eagle who soars high above the earth. Joel teaches and wants you to do God's absolute BEST! Joel also speaks of the inspiring message within the movie Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition). Joel also talks about making "faith deposits." I tried it and can tell you it works! Joel gives you tips and pointers to that end. Also, Joel warns us to not let yourself to fall into mundane mediocrity; never to get off guard. And if your reading this message and you feel that way; you need this book. If you want this book or simply want to give it a try, try these in addition: Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition)and Flywheel (Director's Cut).Read full review
