In You Are Stronger Than You Think， Joel Osteen has written a brand-new inspirational book encouraging readers to stand firm in and not to let life circumstances overwhelm them。 In the book， he is determined to help readers to overcome the cycles of defeat and to handle the pressure of life。 He explained how God has already given us the power to deal with the pressures of life and the challenges are designed to make us stronger。 He begins the book by sharing a story about the Mariana snailfish。 In You Are Stronger Than You Think， Joel Osteen has written a brand-new inspirational book encouraging readers to stand firm in and not to let life circumstances overwhelm them。 In the book， he is determined to help readers to overcome the cycles of defeat and to handle the pressure of life。 He explained how God has already given us the power to deal with the pressures of life and the challenges are designed to make us stronger。 He begins the book by sharing a story about the Mariana snailfish。 This fish can survive at the very bottom of the ocean and this is the only fish that can in that amount of pressure。 This fish has very unique features that allow it to live at that depth。 He uses this story to illustrate how we are all able to handle whatever pressure we may be facing in our life。 This might include raising children， financial， relationships， illness， business pressure， and whatever else life can throw at you。 He went into great details about how we can learn to have a can-do mentality and through Christ we are well able to accomplish and can handle it。 In the book， he also encouraged readers to invite God into their difficulties。 He explained how when we go through challenges a lot of the times， people are praying to God to get them out of the difficulty。 This could include a bad illness， financial， or a work issue。 He stated how instead we need to be inviting God into the challenge and to learn to grow from it。 We need to allow God presence to come into our lives and in whatever we are going through。 He looked at the story of Shadrach， Meshach， and Abednego and how they refused to bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar golden idol。 He had them thrown into the fiery furnace and it was turned up 7 times hotter。 Joel reiterated how God could have delivered them first thing but He chose to allow them to go through the fire。 He reminded readers that we wouldn’t have known God was healer or that God could move mountains if we never had any obstacles。 God did eventually deliver them and they weren’t touched by the fire and there was a fourth man reported in the fire with them。 He revealed how important it is to not complain instead we can choose to praise and to stand firm that no weapon against us will prosper。 I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is tired of living stuck in life and they are always hoping and praying that they will have no more difficulties in life。 I especially enjoyed how he shared that we need to be inviting God into our challenges and difficulties and how this can help us grow stronger。 This book will guide readers into becoming stronger and to not reply on our feelings or the pressures of life。 I immensely love how Joel reminded readers to take off the negative labels that we are wearing and to also take off can’t do mentality。 I liked how he encouraged readers to keep walking on and to stay obedient and how we need to live by faith not by what we currently see。 "I received this book free from the publisher， Hachette Book Group/Faithwords for my honest review。” 。。。more

I like this author and his TV sermons。 He is extremely personable and positive in his messages。 This is the 3rd book that I've read of his。 I like listening in when I have a free minute。This book was probably my least favorite out of the three I've listened to。 For me， the constant waves of personal affirmations were a little much。 I enjoy his stories much better and the personal applications as well， which this book also contained （just fewer of them）， so 3 stars。 I like this author and his TV sermons。 He is extremely personable and positive in his messages。 This is the 3rd book that I've read of his。 I like listening in when I have a free minute。This book was probably my least favorite out of the three I've listened to。 For me， the constant waves of personal affirmations were a little much。 I enjoy his stories much better and the personal applications as well， which this book also contained （just fewer of them）， so 3 stars。 。。。more

You Are Stronger Than You Think by Joel Osteen is a book I would recommend to anyone who is going through a difficult time， has a challenge that seems insurmountable， feels like their history is keeping them stuck， or feels like they can't achieve their dreams--in other words， nearly everyone will find this book empowering and encouraging。 I enjoy Joel Osteen's books， and this one is no exception， because they are immensely relatable， and I find his style of ministry to be uplifting and ceaseles You Are Stronger Than You Think by Joel Osteen is a book I would recommend to anyone who is going through a difficult time， has a challenge that seems insurmountable， feels like their history is keeping them stuck， or feels like they can't achieve their dreams--in other words， nearly everyone will find this book empowering and encouraging。 I enjoy Joel Osteen's books， and this one is no exception， because they are immensely relatable， and I find his style of ministry to be uplifting and ceaselessly positive。 You Are Stronger is an easy read， and while the message is repetitive， each chapter takes a slightly different spin on the overall message: With God on your side， you can withstand any challenge and achieve anything。 One message that stuck with me was "You can't judge God's favor by the storms He kept you our of， but by the storms He brought you through。" For me， at least， that line makes sense， and this book will resonate with me for some time。 Thank you to Netgalley and FaithWords for the opportunity to read an e-ARC of this book。 This review is my own opinion。 。。。more

This book spoke to me on many levels。 I love Pastor Osteen's work because he's so uplifting and positive as the world is so negative and destructive。 This book is about knowing who you are as Christ sees you， not as the world sees you。 It's about knowing where your true strength is， and how to change your thinking about where you are in life。 I recommend this read！ I received an advanced reader's copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review。 This book spoke to me on many levels。 I love Pastor Osteen's work because he's so uplifting and positive as the world is so negative and destructive。 This book is about knowing who you are as Christ sees you， not as the world sees you。 It's about knowing where your true strength is， and how to change your thinking about where you are in life。 I recommend this read！ I received an advanced reader's copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

If you are feeling overwhelmed， this book is for you。 It is full of encouragement。 The title says it all。 “You'll never know how strong you really are，” Osteen writes， “until you face pressure that you've never faced。” （109/3059） He uses lots of Scripture promises， examples from the Bible （such as Gideon）， examples from his own life and the lives of others to support his case。 Osteen is adamant。 God has designed you with the inner strength you'll need for this time。 Like buildings designed to wi If you are feeling overwhelmed， this book is for you。 It is full of encouragement。 The title says it all。 “You'll never know how strong you really are，” Osteen writes， “until you face pressure that you've never faced。” （109/3059） He uses lots of Scripture promises， examples from the Bible （such as Gideon）， examples from his own life and the lives of others to support his case。 Osteen is adamant。 God has designed you with the inner strength you'll need for this time。 Like buildings designed to withstand the pressure of earthquakes in California or hurricane force winds in Florida， God has designed your infrastructure for this difficulty。Lest it seem Osteen is overly optimistic， he is realistic too。 He reminds us sometimes God may take away something or someone we think we can't live without。 God wants us to totally rely on Him。 God doesn't stop every difficulty。 He allows challenges to move us， to grow us。 We may feel like we are in the furnace but God promises to be right there with us。Osteen calls us to have faith， even when it seems the darkest。 This book is encouraging with the message that God is working。 We must have faith in God。 “Nothing you face is beyond what you've been designed for。” （1363/3059） Should a reader not know Jesus as Savior， an opportunity is given to do so at the end of the book。I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher。 My comments are an independent and honest review。 。。。more

I've read a number of Osteen's books， and I appreciate the encouragement I get from them。 His latest release is great for those who have been feeling overwhelmed。 I suspect I'm not the only person who has felt that way recently。 And Osteen wants to remind the reader that God gave them the strength to get through life's pressures， with Him by our side。While there is an optimism to the book， Osteen is realistic， too。 As a Christ-follower， we're not guaranteed a life free of trials。 God just promis I've read a number of Osteen's books， and I appreciate the encouragement I get from them。 His latest release is great for those who have been feeling overwhelmed。 I suspect I'm not the only person who has felt that way recently。 And Osteen wants to remind the reader that God gave them the strength to get through life's pressures， with Him by our side。While there is an optimism to the book， Osteen is realistic， too。 As a Christ-follower， we're not guaranteed a life free of trials。 God just promises to be with us through them， like he was with Shadrach， Meshach， and Abednego in the furnace。 Even then， God is at work。Chapter Eight， "Overcoming Weariness，" is the one that most hit home for me。 I'm sure most readers will find something in this book that feels like God， through Osteen， is speaking right to them。Some of my favorite quotes include:- "Don't wear yourself out to where God has to make you slow down。"- "Many times the enemy knows who we are even before we realize who we are。" - "When you have a big future， the enemy is not going to roll out the red carpet and let you fulfill it。" - "The reason you have big opposition is because you have a big destiny。"- "Don't talk yourself out of what you know God is calling you to do。"Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy， but I wasn't required to leave a positive review。- 。。。more
