For the most part, ministers and preachers don’t usually endorse another preacher’s book or course unless they belong to the same denomination.  Most of the time, they won’t even recognize it.

Well, I guess I’m different.  If I read something that I believe is helpful, I tell people about it.  Such is the case with this book by Pastor Joel Osteen.  Do Joel and I agree on all of our beliefs?  Most likely not, but why should that stop me talking about his book?

It was very inspiring because it was so positive!  Joel has a simple but powerful way of telling people to dream big and trust God.  Some criticize him for teaching people to expect great things from God.  But honestly speaking, if God has already promised us great things, and then instructed us to pray to Him, wouldn’t it be logical to expect great things from our God?

The dominant message in the book is that achieving a successful, prosperous life occurs when you put the past behind you, and stop worrying about the future.  Instead, make the most of each new day.

Pastor Osteen encourages people to use their God-given strengths and talents to achieve their goals. He offers seven steps: Enlarge Your Vision, Develop a Healthy Self-Image, Discover the Power of Your Thoughts and Words, Let go of the Past,

Perhaps part of Joel Osteen’s huge popularity is his very positive message.  I don’t know about you, but I want to hear a positive message.  I want to hear that I too can have confidence and trust in God and receive His blessings.

I bought Joel’s second book, but I haven’t finished it.  I honestly must say that I like the first one a lot more.  But perhaps I should wait until I finish it sometime and then write a review.  I just know that for some reason, I couldn’t put this one down.
