I've read a number of books by Osteen, and I've always enjoyed them. This one was encouraging, but it wasn't one of my favorites. I found it to be a bit repetitive, from his sermons as well as prior books. While it has a positive message, overall, the concept as described is a bit too easy: just believe and it will happen. Christians know that there is a bit more to it than that.
A number of Bible stories are mentioned, but there aren't any direct references, which bothered me. When reading books such as this, I do, on occasion, like to dig a bit deeper. I don't have time to also hunt up where the passage is located in the first place.
While this wasn't one of my favorite books by Osteen, I will likely check out his books in the future.
Some quotes I enjoyed:
- "It's not because of who you are; it's because of Whose you are."
- "Even though circumstances may change, the Source never changes."
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy, but I wasn't required to leave a positive review.
