Love Joel Osteen!

What did you love best about Every Day a Friday?

I love Joel Osteen, his message is always great and it's so nice to have him 'speak' for an extended period of time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Every Day a Friday?

Joel's jokes are always great, but really the whole message of this book was great. I don't think I can really pin point one part which was better than the rest.

What about Joel Osteen’s performance did you like?

Joel is a great speaker and although his message would be the same if someone else read it, hearing it directly from him just adds so much more to the book. It's as if he is not reading a book but just speaking directly which is nice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Sure, you could. I often listen to his sermons which go for between 30 mins to an hour, and they never seem long enough. What we have here is essentially an extended sermon and it's long enough to satisfy, and certainly someone you could come back to after hearing it already.

Any additional comments?

If you love Joel's sermons, you'll love this book. And if you've never heard Joel's sermons, this is a great place to start!

Love Joel Osteen!!

I loved this book!! if you need empowerment and a little reassurance with what you do in everyday life this is the book to read! With Joel himself as the narrator you will thoroughly enjoy this book as it was very hard for me to put down and not listen to!!

Perfect reminders for life - for religious or not

I do not go to church yet I enjoy listening to Joel. Everything he says, interspersed with reference to God and the Bible, is applicable to all people, all religions and even those who do not believe. I don't know if I believe and, if so, what I believe in - but regardless this book is worth listening to for all - not once but rather once per year.

Wasn't sure I would like this but I did.

Very inspirational and could personally relate to some of his words and messages. It is possible to be happy 7 days a week. Having faith is so essential and being positive to maintain some happiness in your life. I know a few Debbie downers I should share this with.

Encouraging and good reminder of what's important
