I like Joel Osteen. He gives practical advice with a God tilt. Every Day a Friday: How to Be Happier 7 Days a Week was really good. The stories and examples he gave with his 26 tenets were heartwarming and uplifting. I am a morose sort of melacholy person. But every time I read Osteen or see him on TV, I automatically feel better.What I liked about Friday is while Osteen encourages a reliance on God, he still promotes independence. God can't do it all for you. You have to get up and try. For someone who is a semi lapsed Roman Catholic who is both an agnostic and an atheist, this makes sense in my mind, I like the promotion of being self sufficient. Osteen also emphasizes soft religion. I took it as that God realizes that there are gray areas and how you deal with them is ultimately is how God will deal with you. This opposes hard religion where there is the definite separation between black and white, good and evil. There is no leeway.I did enjoy the Shay, Denzel Washington, John Maxwell, and Billy Graham stories.I love Joel Osteen. Sometimes when I hear his sermons on TV, it helps with whatever I'm dealing with at the time. He makes me happy. Most of all, he makes me hopeful.
What an amazing inspirational book! His words fit so well and give so much hope and provide understanding on how to overcome life's challenges! I loved everything about this book! After reading this book, my self esteem and my way of thinking changed completely. I learned to wake up every morning with a smile and greet the day with a big hug! Be grateful for all the blessings The Lord has given us! Thank u Joel for being so inspirational! This is a must read trust me you will feel way better and be a better you!
