Publisher Description
Live boldly and act on your most powerful beliefs with this life-changing guide to faith, positive thinking, and spiritual fulfillment.
In YOUR BEST LIFE NOW, Osteen says, "I am what I am today because of what I believed about myself yesterday. And I will be tomorrow what I'm believing about myself right now. God sees us as more than conquerors, able to fulfill our destiny. We need to see ourselves through the eyes of our Creator." He says that our self-image should mirror exactly what God says about us, not what we feel or think. And he encourages readers to be people of faith, for if you can see the invisible, God will do the impossible.

"I actually listened to this book I CD. I got it from my local library! It is just plain, simple, common sense! But we don't hear it enough! I highly recommend it! I think hearing it is better then reading it too! We are so bombarded by negativity that this will sound so refreshing! Very, Very good!"

Quotes

“Houston televangelist Joel Osteen is well qualified to write this book. The seven steps Osteen shares will have value to anyone wanting to know more about practical steps of self-betterment, regardless of their denomination.”
— Amazon.com, editorial review -
“Televangelist Joel Osteen’s message of hope and encouragement has won him praise from actor Chuck Norris and author Joyce Meyer. In Your Best Life Now, he encourages believers to discover their innate, God-given strengths and abilities to overcome obstacles and achieve authentic success.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review -
“Though it’s quieter than Osteen’s Houston mega-church broadcasts, listeners will love the ‘don't quit’ energy and solid ideas in this excellent studio recording…It teaches…principles like selflessness, charity, hope, and personal initiative by inviting you into the process. Bible stories and vignettes from the preacher’s rags-to-riches life are inspiring. As an inspirational audio, this is as good as it gets!”

" I read, or rather, listened to this on audiobook in my commute to work in the mornings. And every morning, I'd come with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. I know that sounds cheesy, but it inspired me morning after morning with great tips to be a victor in life. Highly recommended! "
— Margaret, 1/25/2014 -
" This is one of the most inspirational books I've ever written. There's something about his prose that is uplifting rather than "preachy," as is the case with some of these types of books. A real winner. You don't have to be a Christian to appreciate the insights offered. "
— Miranda, 1/19/2014 -
" I'm not a fan of Joel Osteen, but I have to say I found this book to be uplifting. It has a good message about trying to remain positive in life and not shouldering all your burdens yourself. "
— Carolynn, 12/31/2013 -
" I love him and his books. He taught to take another lok at my life. He also taught me how to think more positively on situations in life. "
— Whitney, 12/25/2013 -
" I love watching his sermons, so I thought I would love this book. It was very repetitive and simplified. I think I will stick to watching his TV sermons. "
— Marissa, 12/19/2013 -
" Mixed feelings. Some fabulous insights, but then he says things like, "God wants your life to be easy." Well, check out Jesus' life and words. Later Osteen backs down and talks about the value of struggles. Maybe he just starts with a popular bang to draw in readers. "
— Dolly, 12/17/2013 -
" Yes, this is written by the controversial Joel Osteen. Love him or hate him, I find him optimistic and pleasant. This is a great book for people with a religious background, but even without religion readers can appreciate the power of positive thinking. "
— Audrey, 12/6/2013 -

" This was an uplifting read. Not too preachy but the point comes across. "
— Camelia, 10/18/2013 -
" Joel Osteen is a heretic and this book should be avoided at all cost. He is one of the worst pastors to ever exist. "
— David, 8/8/2013 -
" This book is written in the same way that Joel Osteen delivers his sermons. I like Pastor Osteen positive messages and sunny outlook on life. If you need a good pep talk, this is the book for you. "

" 10.16.12: Passed this book on to a church rummage sale. "
— Ellen, 3/24/2012 -
" I'm on step 7 or so of this book which I have been reading for several months now. It's funny, each time I pick it up I start reading a "lesson" that I need that very day! Like the page(s) last night re: letting things happen on God's time, not yours. At any rate - it's worth the read, I think. "
— Collins, 2/2/2012 -

— Cheryl, 8/11/2011 -
" Just watching Joel Osteen on Oprah's Lifeclass. There is nothing new in his book, but we don't always need something new. Love is not new, I am affirmations are not new, gratitude is not new. I, for one, need the reminder. "
— Heather, 6/3/2011 -
" Some tidbits of inspiration. Choose to be happy was the best. Seemed a little too materialistic for a religious book. "
