Good, Better, Blessed: Living with Purpose, Power, and Passion

In less than five years, Joel Osteen has emerged as America's best-selling inspirational audio author, thanks to the industry-leading sales of his audiobooks. But the hundreds of thousands of listeners he has reached with his audiobooks - and even the millions of readers who have bought his books - represent just a fraction of the tens of millions of viewers and listeners who know him only as the dynamic, uplifting preacher who speaks so memorably from the pulpit every Sunday at widely-televised services at his Lakewood Church in Houston.

Now, for the first time ever, the retail market gets its first taste of Joel's incomparable live persona with Good, Better, Blessed. This collection of 10 complete sermons (or 'messages,' as they're known to Lakewood members and viewers) from Joel's broadcasts offers traditional audio and book customers their first chance to experience Joel in his original element, as he moves and inspires the huge crowds who come or tune in to hear him preach each Sunday.

Demonstrating once more why he has transcended the traditional Christian market with his approach to timeless self-help topics, he addresses such perennial and popular issues as:

Developing a habit of happiness

The power of our thoughts

Having a positive vision

Developing loyalty and integrity

Finding the courage to be different

Being a person of excellence.

Destined to appeal both to readers who have already read his books but are eager for new material and insights, and members of his tv and radio audiences who know him only for his broadcasts and have never read or heard his books, as well as the general self-help listener who appreciates a dynamic speaker offering useful advice, Good, Better, Blessed has the potential to be Joel Osteen's biggest audio release to date.
