JOEL OSTEEN BOOK
In addition to all the movies I got (and Lucille's thanks to Judy!) while I was in the hospital, my cousin Allison loaned me Joel Osteen's book "Become a Better You."
Although I didn't really feel well enough to read it whie in the hospital, I made it a point to read it during my 4 weeks off work. And yesterday, I finally finished it.
Overall, I felt it to be a little unrealistic and quite simple in its message, but I also realize that sometimes, that's exactly what I need: a simple message.
So, I'm going to try to be more positive and be committed to doing the right things and staying away from bad habits.

joel osteen's mega church is here where we live. i've seen him on tv and i just can't seem to take him seriously. he has a huge following and is so revered out here... maybe that's why i'm so cynical? all his sermons seem too prosperity-gospel-ly.
but in truth, i've never read one of his books. was it really good? or just a smiley guy with a smiley message?

i personally can't handle osteen's health/wealth gospel. i've watched his interviews w/ Today and GMA and everything he says is just too hokey.
