 Great Book! Keep up the good work! October 11, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 am reading the Large Print hardcover book Become a Better You by Joel Osteen and I can't tell you the value of information in it. This is such an uplifting book and he makes you see yourself in a different light with the high hope he gives you that it just makes your day and it lifts your spirits and gives your future such great hope. It sure makes you want to change your way of thinking to a much higher level. What I also like is the wonderful soft feeling of the pages. This paper is like no other I have ever felt so soft and smooth. I highly recommend this book to every man woman and child it is that great and so uplifting.

This is a great book. It is easy to read, has biblical back-up, and is very positive.
I am using it for my bible studies and have experienced a more positive group, conversations are inspiring as well. This book helps a person to really take a look at themselves and reflect on their own attitudes about themselves as well as others. It is a great book for spiritual growth as well.
superb book and superb amazon customer service September 6, 2008

Become a Better You: 7 Keys to Improving Your Life Every Day This is an excellent book- you will be a better and more positive person after you have read it. It is a book that you don't want to put down- and one that you will make many resolutions to "do better" in your lifestyle.
Amazon filled my order immediately and it is a pleasure doing business with them.
Ignore The Scribes and Pharisees! August 23, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Ignore the fundamentalists (scribes and pharisees all!) who keep creeping into these reviews and bad-mouthing Osteen. Christianity has been hijacked long enough by word-worshipping Bible Bangers. What did Jesus say about the fundamentalists of His day? "Ye search the scriptures daily for in them you think you have truth." Osteen has written two wonderful and encouraging books. I also reccomend his broadcasts too. So refreshing! The world needs more of this kind of teaching and less of people like "Sandra F." who keeps admonishing positive reviewers with little fussy sermonettes. You can use the Bible to prove anything and you can use the Bible to represent and justify a miserable and joyless Christianity - which many have! You take FEAR and GUILT away from these people and their churches would empty out and go broke in a week.
