Publisher's summary

To live in God's favor is to live a life filled with hope, abundance, and joy. God has a new beginning in store for you! Whatever difficulties you've faced, God uses your challenges to stretch you and enlarge your vision to move beyond disappointments and experience his blessings. In this audio series, Joel Osteen shares valuable keys that will help you live in faith, stand strong, and overcome anything that comes against you.

Capturing the unique excitement of Lakewood Church's weekly services and broadcasts, Living in Favor, Abundance and Joy collects material from three of the most popular volumes of live recordings offered on the Lakewood website. You'll hear Joel Osteen's distinct and effective mix of spiritual perspectives on real-world challenges, including:

• Letting go of the past
• Taking the limits off of God
• Being grateful for the gift of today
• Having a relaxed and easy-going attitude
• Controlling your moods
• Holding on to your joy

Don't settle for the status quo. God says that you are going to have the most peace, the most fulfillment. You may not have seen it yet, but if you make room, you will not lack in any area.

Again, Love Pastor Joel!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

YES! You need to realize that God is not an angry, vengeful God. He wants us to be happy and what is holding us back from that is ourselves.

Lovely

I liked the entire message..each and every word spoke to me.. Very much motivation.. I fee energized and refreshed .

Extremely valuable life lessons

This book is so awesome. I'll continue to listen to it on the way to work. It's mainly about staying positive but it's so much depth to being positive. It really adds value to your life to do so and that's what the sermons are explaining. 5 chapters 2 sermons per chapter!

Soooo inspiring!! Joel Osteen is the Norman Vincent Peale of our time only deeper and even more Bible Based!!

Just like Billy Graham, Joel Osteen has a lot of critics and naysayers, but the reality is that he knows his Scripture backwards and forwards and knows how to give people hope for today and tomorrow!!!

The beatings

What did you love best about Living in Favor, Abundance and Joy?

Self criticism seems to be my addiction.
I acquired this habit at some point in childhood, and had it that I had to be perfect to have
Gods favor. Whenever I did not meet my own standards, I would beat myself up, be down,
guilty, defeated, sad, sorry, on, and on.
This wasted a lot of time, and was not biblical.
Joel helped me to see things differently, and to experience the goodness of Gods love.
This has made my life better in so many ways.
The more I listen to Joel with his uplifting message, the better man I want to be.

What did you like best about this story?
