Your Best Life Now

Your Best Life Now

Joel Osteen. New York: Warner Faith Press, 2004. 320 pp. (Hardback).

Of this volume, New York Times best-selling author Max Lucado writes: “Our Lord uses Joel Osteen to lift my eyes, lighten my sleep and brighten my heart.”

Subtitled “7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential,” this production by the young and popular pastor of Lakewood Church, Houston, will inspire, inform and energize its readers in their walk with God.

Osteen’s church, with 30,000 members, is probably America’s largest. It is certainly one of the most popular. The 32 sermons here are built around these themes: enlarge your vision, develop a healthy self-image, discover the power of your thoughts, let go of the past, find strength through adversity, live to give and choose to be happy.
