Become a Better You: 7 Keys to Improving Your Life Every Day Audio CD – CD, October 15, 2007

I have to agree with whomever said Joel Osteen is the Voice of Hope - his book is so positive, encouraging, and uplifting. The material is completely relevant, timely and empowering!! I encourage everyone to read this book or listen to this audio book. It should be required reading for all humans of all ages! :-)Joel's words literally reach right out to you and make you really think and realize that you can overcome anything negative and achieve anything if you just have faith in God and in yourself and your ability to change your habits and ways of thinking, forgive yourself and others, grow as a person, and become what you've always dreamed - the best You that you can possibly be! Do it for yourself. Do it for your family. It will help you improve your life in every aspect - home, relationships, work, friendships, and in your spiritual life. Please join me and read this book or listen to the audio version of this book. Share it's message with your friends and family - we can all benefit from Joel's message.

I originally purchased this book for myself and have been reading it over a period of time. I sent it to a relative for a gift hoping that he would read it as well. I have other family members who also find positive hope and peace in their lives by following the messages from Joel Osteen. There are a lot of good points in this book on working on yourself rather than being negative and taking it out on others. The Daily Readings that go with this book are also inspirational, thoughtful and promote a daily interaction with God through reading the Bible.I recommend this book highly for bringing out the best in yourself and bringing some peace to your daily existence. I recommend the companion the Daily Readings as well.Thanks again, Joel for a great book that shines a light on how we can all become better people.

I have been reading small sections of it since i received it. This was my first time ordering online. So I didnt know it was a miniature version, but found that it just big enough to fit in my pusre and carry with me every where. The book is awesome. It really is pack with great information quick and to the point on the steps you need to take to change your life, way of thinking, way of handling circumstances and everyday situations in your life. Whether it b a relationship with God, family, friends, co workers, neighbors, or just improving youself. Im very pleased with it. And will pass it on to someone when im finished. Thanks and Be Blessed

Outside of what may or may not be biblical content the book itself is a mere 2.25 x 2.5 inches (approximately - but you can get the picture) in size. My son asked for one of Joel's latest books for Christmas. I can imagine the disappointment he will experience when he sees the size of this book. What a joke and the laugh is on us. I am very disappointed in the fact that Amazon nor the publisher provided the exact size in their description of the book. What was provide in the description was the following,"In an abridgment of his second #1 New York Times bestseller". We wanted a full size book - not one the size of a jean watch pocket. I doubt now that he will read it. If this is what we can expect it seems that a revival of the brick and morter book stores may be just around the corner.

I have read a couple of books now by Joel Osteen and I have to say that his approach at reaching out to people in an effort to help them "find" Christ is the correct approach in my oppinion. Joel focuses on the good rather than the evil and teaches people that they really are good in God's eyes and need to think positively about themselves as God thinks positively of them as well. Rather than beating people down with the judgment of God, Joel brings people up with the love of God.And that's how you do it. A very good book, indeed!!

What a great book to read for life changing, simple hints. His writing is easy to follow, does not bury you in scriptures, and gently shows you how you are derailing your own life and how to fix it. I've owned the book for ages but for some reason didn't read it right away. Our family is in the middle of a crisis and perhaps that is the reason I picked it up; what a glorious difference it's made in our lives. The crisis still remains but we are treating it and each other so much better. Thanks Joel!

If you are ready for change and willing to change your life with these helpful resources then it's a worth while book to buy. All his books are worth buying. I have pretty much all his books and bible and they have helped change the way I view and approach things in my life. His words have been a life changer for me. Again these are good resources but in order for you to understand what he is trying to say you have to be ready and open to change otherwise it will be a good read only and a great resource to go back to when needed as well.

This book was a bit smaller than I imagined, however, its great as a gift. You can keep this on your office desk, in your handbag, in the car, or wherever you believe you may read something from it. I bought five as Christmas presents to add to a larger present, and so far everyone who received one, has been very appreciative. Great little handbook. Thinking of getting a few more, just to hand out whenever there is a need, as even the content is good, and can touch someone in some way. Consider purchasing yourself.
