Megachurch pastor and bestselling author Osteen follows up Your Best Life Now with this disappointingly unoriginal Christian self-help book. The seven subtitular steps to improvement include instructions to develop good habits, better relationships and an inner life. Osteen balances mind-over-matter pep talks with claims that God wants to bless faithful people with successes. The future is always promising, because “God never performs His greatest feats in your yesterdays.” At the same time, in order to receive God's blessing, one must back up prayers with action, obey, maintain a positive attitude toward life and “do the right thing with the right motives.” Some of Osteen's advice is sound; for example, he suggests that if you are forgiving and kind to colleagues and friends, they'll cut you slack when you have crabby days. Other suggestions—like writing down a big goal and posting it on your mirror or desk—are unremarkable. Laced throughout are anodyne first-person vignettes; Osteen struggled with frustration when his favorite restaurant announced a 45-minute wait. The hurried Osteen went to a nearby burger joint, only to have a brief encounter that changed another customer's life. Voilà—God turned Osteen's disappointment into blessing! Though this book is destined for strong sales, it offers nothing innovative. (Oct. 15) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

Don't waste your time. Read your Bible instead. Discipleship requires that we follow Jesus, not someone with charisma in a suit and a nice smile.

Jesus said that whoever would lose his life for His sake will find it...Jesus said take up your cross daily, deny yourselves, follow Christ. Jesus said that a servant is not greater than his master.. and they crucified my Master. Joel is preaching a false gospel which glorifies man and not God, which makes our joy, prosperity, feelings, and fulfillment the goal. Walking with Christ IS a road full of joy and fulfillment, but it is joy that comes from being found safe in Christ, and "knowing the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings." Run as fast as you can from this guy.

"Becoming A Better You" is a book that helps the reader to learn to view their life positively. I am sending this to my son who is incarcerated. I think they all should read it before leaving the unit and then enter a bible believing church to round out the corners and fill in all the blanks.
