Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential by Joel Osteen

3.0

This was an interesting read because I've always wanted to read something by Joel Osteen, having heard so much about him but not having anything first-hand to go off of. This book was not nearly so bad as I'd been led to believe by his detractors, but also felt rather incomplete. It's a very encouraging book if you need a shot in the arm, and I liked his perspective on most of the topics he talked about. Some of the chapters in the middle on the sovereignty of God and the purpose of trials were quite good. Overall, though, the book is much too me-centered and not enough God-centered, and I would say that is undoubtedly the book's biggest flaw.
