I love watching Joel Olsteen on Sunday mornings since I do not get out to Church. In every show he is very uplifting which makes me feel good inside. That YES, even though things are not going great in my life, I know that with God's help, I will make it though. The book points me to a passage in the Bible and helps me gain insight as to how just reading the Word of God is reassuring. Then Joel tries to put things into perspective which gives me other things to think about and reaffirm my views and belief in God. So many times we try to do things our way instead of God's, that we should remember that he takes care of our daily needs, that we should not worry so much. This is a very worth while book to read and meditate on. I am glad that I found him on TV.
I have read many, many spiritual books in my life, but this one touched my soul in a way that no other book has!!! This book will give anyone a positive attitude of faith and hope, no matter what your circumstances. I was actually sad when I got to the end of it, for I loved it SO much! It's absolutely awesome!!!! He tells true-life stories and his writing style is so easy to read and understand! I can see why he has the largest congregation in the whole United States! WHat a gift God has given to mankind in this young preacher! His words are definitely God-inspired!!!
I originally purchased this book because I have heard Joel Osteen speak many times. He has the capability of capturing the audiences attention with such devotion to the Word of God, and making the audience feel right at home with regular everyday conversation and ease. There is no false pretense, no better than thou attitudes that some speakers may have, and he is just so with it, that young and old generations alike, feel comfortable with him. I have read all his books, and have gone as far as to highlight each passage that I want to memorize. He is fantastic and I love watching him on TV . He will motivate you to get up and get moving, and hear and speak the Word of God. This book was sensational, and I will read it again.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. It is filled with uplifting stories that are only 2 to 3 pages long. I have bought over 20 in the last 2 years and hand them out to different people that need a lift. Everyone that has come back to me, has commented that it is an amazing book. It gives one hope and reinforces their faith in God. When my teenage daughters seem in a bad mood or are talking negatively about life, I send them off with the book and tell them to randomly pick 3 "stories" and then come back to me. Inevitably, they return in a much better mood and are refreshed and ready for the world. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone. It is not religion forced down your throat. It is a collection of positive messages from a very passionate man who happens to be a preacher. His enthusiasm for life is contagious. I hope you will try it.Read full review
This bk has been a true inspiration to me. I am on my 5th reading of this bk. I look forward to my morning meditation & truly miss it when I run out of time. It is easy reading, scriptional based & to the point. I absolutely love it & recommend it to everyone - almost daily. (I work retail.) It helps me face day-to-day situations with the assurance that God is in control. We all need to be reminded of this, & Joel Osteen does exactly that in his devotions. I honestly look forward to my daily readings. There is absolutely nothing about this book that I dislike.
