 Wonderful book!! I loved it October 10, 2008
What did I think about this book? I think this book was great. I learned so much from Pastor Olsteen. I learned that life doesn't have to be so heavy because we have God who walks alongside with us, constantly leading and guiding us. AND, the best part, we are never alone. I learned how to pray with this book (how to talk with God) and how to declare blessings over my family. I often felt my prayers were going out unanswered into some holding tank, but this book showed me where they were actually going and why. It wasn't that God wasn't answering my prayers, He was holding them until the right time. I learned so many things with this book, too many to mention. I found this book to be an easy read, yet so rich in information and examples. The thing that helped me the MOST was the little sample prayers such as: "God, I thank you for your favor, your favor is causing..." Some people are not eloquent when addressing God. Joel tells us to remember God in the good times and the bad. However, another best part is he tells us where WE fit in, and that we are not alone, ever. After reading this book. My brother met him at the Houston Livestock and Rodeo, Joel was walking around with his two children and my brother went up to him and they both prayed together. My brother said, that Joel has a very approachable personality and is a very humble person with a great heart who only wants to help people find God. And to that Joel, I thank you for helping me find God. I do not attend Lakewood Church neither am I Christian but I still found God. Now when I look back, I think the message was for me. I finally understand and my journey continues. Thank you.

I have been using this in a group setting. It has been wonderful. It really helps you to think about the things that have gone on in your life as well as currently happening and to help you to take control of your future. God has plans for everyone, but if we don't take the right paths we will never reach the intended destination.
 Good follow up. January 13, 2008

This book is an experiential guide based on Osteen's best seller. Osteen provides insight by taking his readers through various experiential exercises to reinforce qualities and attitudes of positive thinking. I enjoyed the book and the common wisdom Osteen offers. The more I read by Mr. Osteen, the more I appreciate his interpretations of scripture. Osteen (in my humble view) is guided by his own unique understanding of relationship, and is further guided by respect for that which is greater than us. From this flows respect that we can grow into a better relationship with those who experience and understand G-d differently. Each of us are 'called' by G-d in different and surprising ways. Osteen is not your timid status quo preacher seeking to assuage the fears of those who march lock step with some narrow and closed theological perspective.
The only downside to the book is his use of NKJV to quote scripture. As a biblical scholar, this is the worst interpretation available to a contemporary audience.

I wanted to read this book but after 20 pages gave up, as I noticed it's message is about some quick fixes to get you happy, in a typical American way. To make it look Christian the author mentions the word God so we can be relaxed about it.
If somebody wants to be re begin to live a live with full potential that the right book is The 7 habits of the highes efficient people by Stephen Covey.
Throw out your copy of "The Secret." This is the book for you May 25, 2007

For those of you who have been wondering about the obvious gaps in the new book, The Secret (example: all bad things you brought on yourself or wished for in some way), look no further. Osteen does a fantastic job of explaining that, sometimes, bad things happen for a reason. You don't imagine them, envision them or bring them about simply because you have been dwelling on them not happening, which is what "The Secret" suggests. Instead, they are all a part of God's big plan. Bad things take you to better places, provided you can roll with the punches and keep the faith.
So for those of you who have not been impressed with The Secret and have been wondering how religion and God/Jesus fit into it all, this book has the answer. What a relief!
