Daily Readings from Next Level Thinking: 90 Devotions for a Successful and Abundant Life

by Joel Osteen

Set aside the frustrations of your past and step into a new level of victory and favor with this spiritually powerful guide from #1 bestselling author and Lakewood Church pastor Joel Osteen.We all have things that are trying to hold us guilt from past mistakes, temptations that we can't seem to overcome, or dysfunctions that have been passed down. It's easy to learn to live with these problems and accept them as who we are. We can all find a reason to live like we're at a disadvantage and become negative and bitter-we came down with an illness, somebody walked out of a relationship, our boss overlooked us. But we have to say, "I'm done making excuses. I'm not going to let the past keep me from moving forward and benefitting from the good things God has in store." It is time to say, "It is finished."In Next Level Thinking, Joel Osteen writes that we weren't created to go through life weighed down by addictions, dysfunction, guilt, or the past. God created us to be free. Joel encourages readers to leave behind the negative mindsets, the scarcity mentality, and the limitations others have put on us, and shows us how to step into new levels of victory, new levels of favor.

[Dan Schaeberle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am not a religious person but I’ve heard some of Joel Osteen’s sermons on the radio and I really like him. I love his stories and how he takes those stories and makes them into a positive message.
I bought this book to truly change my thinking: be more positive, not be so critical of things in my life, etc. I feel my thinking has changed. There is a lot of good readings in this book I earmarked to go back and read again.
The reason for the four stars and not five is the middle readings get super religious (I know, I know he’s a pastor but I bought this more for the positive messages/stories and not the religion) and he kind of gets away from the story telling.
I do really recommend this book even for non-religious people and I hope it changes your way of thinking like it did for me.

He made a few good points. I think I am done reading books by him. Not that they aren't okay but for other reasons.
