The book overall was decent, though at times I sort of questioned his scenarios.they almost seemed too coincidental in making his point. He truly will help the current and next generation into accepting Christ and learning about the church. He does a great job in his sermons and really can capture an audience while preaching. Joel Osteen is a gifted preacher and storyteller. But the book did have a lot of good reminders of being positive and I give it three stars because of that! And one has to ask the question, "What about those who are not traveling a First Class lifestyle?" Are they somehow less preferred by God? These are the dangerous implications of a prosperity gospel. Joel seems to have forgotten the verses such as "the last shall be first and the first shall be last" which cultivate a spirit of humility and hope in the eternal rewards which are worth far more than anything this life can offer. This is contrary to the scriptures where our blessings are heavenly treasures instead of earthy ones. But some parts, such as God assigning preferential treatment to his children in materialistic and lavish ways ( as in his example of being re-assigned a First Class seat on the airplane), gives Christianity the reputation of being a snobbish me-first faith. The book's main message of being positive, is a source of strength. As you put the principles found in this audio to work today you will begin living Your Best Life Now! Your life has a divine purpose and destiny. In this remarkable book, Joel Osteen offers you unique insights and encouragement that will help you overcome every obstacle you may encounter.
How do you break out and experience the full potential that God intended you to have? The answer lies in a simple yet profound process to change the way you think about your life and help you accomplish what's truly important.
You can't pursue what's truly important to you because your day is crowded by the demands of mundane routines and other people's priorities. If you are like most people, you have written these goals and dreams on a list that's titled "Tomorrow's To Do". Do you often dream of living a more rewarding life? Do you aspire to a better job, a stronger marriage, a happier home? Do you wish for more gratifying relationships with your family and friends? Perhaps you simply want to accomplish more and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
