Lo mejor de ti (Become a Better You) Spanish Edition

What a wonderful gift to give at Christmas. I ordered five books and gave them to my dear friends here in Bajamar Baja California Mexico. We have enjoyed it in our Spanish speaking Book Club. Joel, we love you. Las Mujares de Bajamar. Before I purchased this book for my friends, My son and my husband and myself had read it too. I would like to request from Joel Osteen Ministry, five more books in Spanish for the Templo de Cristo congergation here in La Mision Mexico. It would be a greater gift comming from your Minstry. Thank You! God Bless, Genevieve Gomez Chavez

Buen libro

La forma que describe cada uno de los 7 pasos, es excelente. La forma como plantea cada una de las situaciones reales y los ejemplos que se deben seguir en cada uno de los aspectos de la vida, es muy bueno.

Stop hating on Joel so much!

This past year I started listening to Joel Osteen's podcast on iTunes for FREE and was surprised to find that almost every message I've listened to has really inspired my faith and encouraged me in ways no preacher has done before. He comes off a bit awkward at first as he isn't the most talented or dynamic public speaker but his messages have unusual power (anointing). I enjoy listening to John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Joel Stockstill... but Osteen has become my favorite! I look fwd to his sermon each week! I thought he was all hype but I was wrong. I can see why God has raised him up to pastor one of America's largest churches. Naturally, I got the new book and it's been such an inspiration! The steps look so simple but I have been underlining every other line in this book! Every page is soaked in hope. I even found myself about to weep at the thought of how much potential God has placed in me and how untapped that potential is because of my own unbelief. Joel really speaks faith into those dreams and visions that each person keeps hidden deep inside. I hope to apply its principles and glorify God in ways I could've never imagined! I see soooo much criticism about Joel on the internet but I think people who have really given him a listen would agree that all that "hate" is not justified! His encouraging spirit and inspirational approach is a welcome change from the monotony of typical preachers around.

Gentle Faith

I happened upon Joel Osteen on TV when I was going through a difficult period in my life. Even though he is from a religious tradition different from my own, I found watching him gave me a lift. His gentle take on Christianity exudes faith and hope. He doesn't claim to be a biblical scholar. My personal impression having watched his broadcasts is that his is someone of deep, simple faith, who thinka about God and talks to God as he goes about his day, and wants to share the sense of peace that he has found. His sunny personality is very attractive to people and he seems to have succeeded on TV beyond his wildest dreams. Good for him! His church is diverse in makeup. There is no religious bigotry in his message. This book which I did read brings together a number of his TV sermons almost word for word. It counsels kindness, optimism, and finding joy in life. I didn't find an emphasis on making money per se, just on pursuing happiness in a decent way. If you follow his advice it won't do you any harm and may do you considerable good.
