Very inspirational. Some may find the writing to be 'hokey' but it works for Joel. The stories he tells resonate.

[Andy Febrico Bintoro · Rating 4 out of 5]

The theme here still positivity as the author was proclaimed as positivity preacher. But this book was a lot of better than its master book, for here all things was from the scriptures, not self proclaimed and thus could be misleading.

Joel Osteen is a new-to-me author, and I find him to be very inspirational and motivational. I used this book as my night-time devotional, and I just loved it. Each devotional is several pages long, and it takes approximately ten minutes to read through it. If you intend to also do the suggested scripture reading, it will take longer. If not, Joel highlights a key verse from the suggested scripture reading. At the end of each devotional, there is an accompanying prayer and thought for the day to focus or meditate on.

I borrowed this one from my local library, but I loved it so much that I bought a copy and gave it to my cousin to read because I was so impressed with it! Joel writes in such a way that I find it very easy to relate to him, and I love the book’s overall sense of positivity! I will definitely look for more books by this author.

Inspiring and motivating!

I always watch and listen to Joel's programs, because they always fill me with hope and encouragement. This book doesn't fail to do just that. Filled with meaningful scripture, and biblical as well as real life stories to support Joel's messages. This book reminds us of God's constant love for us, and although we are often tempted to give up, He never does. Fantastic read!

Reading this book is like looking into myself. There are many parts that just precisely about my own spiritual experience. What more is that I like Joel Osteen's writing style, simple, clear, and yet deep in meanings.

I loved this book. He is the new Dr. Norman Vincent Peale when it comes to positive thinking. It gave me a positive boost every day.
