Abridged Audiobook
After hearing two of the books read by the author I have decided this one is probably the one to start with but the other book Become a Better You is more practical in some ways. I have decided that I like Mr. Osteen's positive messages and Christian approach but much of this sounds rehashed from other self-help/self-improvement books and methods. If you want a positive Christian spin on things you may have already read this is a great place to start. I always appreciate it when the author reads the text and Mr. Osteen is certainly easy to absorb.
This book is fantastic! Whether you are of the Christian faith or not the principles are still the same! I LOVED the book! Thinking about buying it now to keep at home
Many of the items here have been touched upon in other books. I found it interesting that Joel feels he needs to reign his wife in or she'll be in jail. (his words not mine). I immediately thought about the airline incident a year or so ago when she was kicked off the plane for being so nasty. The book was OK but not what I thought it would be.
Just awesome audiobook. You should go ahead and buy it.
This information presented here was great. If you're used to hearing him preach on TV, this is different. He is calmer and essentially reads the material. Still great to listen to, but it take a little adjusting.
I swear I could listen to Joel Osteen read the telephone book. Aside from his wonderful voice, Joel has some wonderful things to say. We could all use some if not all of his 7 steps somewhere in our lives.
A great book to help you get your life in perspective. Everyone should read it. Applying it is the hard part.
I just finished listening to this audio, it was AMAZING!!!!! I truly believe that it will change your life. I know it did mine.
This was a great book for all christians. In fact, I listened to it twice before returning it. And, I intend to rent agian.
I couldn't get through these CD. I am a Christian, but guess I don't believe that God is going to make me rich and powerful. I don't have my problems in my life so this just didn't speak to me. Seems like I could have gotten something from this sermon, but didn't.
I absolutely loved this audio book. Covers just about everything in one's life and the philosophy is so encouraging! Joel has a common-sense approach that is so easy to listen to - so easy to apply to your life. Starts out interesting and just gets better & better. Now I want to listen to all of Joel Osteen's audio books. Most likely I'll buy this one - want to listen to parts of it again and again. My husband loved it too!
I received this book by accident instead of my usual romance book, this was in the sleeve instead. I informed simplyaudiobooks, but in the mean time I decided; let me just listen to whatever this is. I was TOUCHED. I was pretty much a hard person, not really caring so much and taking a lot of things for granted... I look at life in a New Light, and I thank God for giving me this opportunity to realize, I CAN. This is a tool in life that I recommend EVERYONE uses. EXCELLENT. I let my life go without GOD for a long time... and Now I am happy to say, I'm back with him and day by day, I pray I grow stronger. It truly had a huge impact on me.
I received this CD at my lowest point in life. With the Pastor inspiring words, I made it through a lonely holiday. Thank you. God does work in mysterious ways.
A wonderful book. It is a book that if applied can change your life. It inspired me. I anxiously await any new books that Joel Olsteen publishes.
A very good book worth listening to. Joel is so positive and uplifting.
EXCELLENT!!! I'm an avid fan of Joel Osteen and watch him every Sunday on television. This audio book truly portrays Joel Osteen's beliefs in a very detailed manner. I love the examples and little stories he tells along the way, which really help strengthen his views. I would definitely recommend this book to all those who want to positively change their life!
