It has been said that a pointless life is worse than an early death. Victoria inspires women everywhere to step out and live a life that honors God.
Love, Hope and Encouragement for Life November 22, 2008

Love your Life is a book writen in love, hope and compassion. It appears to me that Victoria wrote this book with the intent to help people improve their lives. The book feels like she is talking to you openly and trying to help you with life's challenges.
Victoria is an encourager and she discusses the importance of encouraging ourselves and others. She also encourages her readers to celebrate their successes big and small and celebrate other peoples successes with them.
Some readers may learn a different way of looking at things. Everyone has unfair things that happen to them in their lives, and some people have more than others. The question is how can we deal with these bad things that happen and overcome them and live life fully and whole? Afterall, the challenges of today bring the opportunities of tomorrow.
This book could be especially good for people (male or female) who feel inside themselves that they have to be perfect to be loved, or that they are unloveable or unworthy no matter what they do. We are each God's perfect creation and he loves us. God knows we are not perfect and he loves us despite our faults and our nature to sin. We are called to love our neighbor as ourself, but, if we do not love ourself than how much could we possibly love our neighbor? We must love ourselves before we can truly love others. Victoria guides the reader on a path of understanding that each person is important and has value.
Victoria attempts to bring each reader to a place of God's love, hope, healing, freedom and peace in their lives. Victoria's advice is sound bibical advice and I believe that Christians and non Christians could bennefit from this book depending on the persons openness.
At the end of each chapter she lists her main points as a quick referance e.g.;
"I will focus on what I have and not what I don't have. I will dwell on what's right in my life and magnify the good."
Depending on where you are in your life you may want to also look at the following books which are writen by different authors, and varying writing styles, but, address God's love for his people: Joyce Meyer's Battlefield of the Mind, William P. Young's The Shack and Francine Rivers Redeeming Love (novel). Happy reading.
By loving your life, you make others happy, too! November 10, 2008

I would like to thank Victoria for sharing her thoughtful insight and wisdom in this book. I appreciated the personal, inspirational stories that were shared. I was able to make personal connections through her shared stories. These connections helped me to gain insight and resolution to daily battles that I (along with others) struggle with in my journey through life. Her words are simple, yet they contain so much depth. There are everyday lessons to be learned in this book which can truly enrich your life as they did mine. I believe it is so important to Love Your Life and Live Happy, Healthy and Whole. As Dennis Prager writes, happiness is not a selfish concern...it is a moral obligation.

The Olsteen's are smart folks, they are helping to bring UNITY of the World System to the Religious System, the methods they use through media is the same methods Jim Jones used and those like Rick Warren use, it's simple, you give the people what THEY WANT, then the people FOLLOW THE LEADER.
They are SECULARIZING THE AMERICAN CHURCH.

Love Your Life is the latest book from the Osteen driven Lakewood Factory in Houston, Texas. From the moment I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. Never mind the fact that those who love their life will lose it; this book makes you overcome that Biblical catch phrase and actually enjoy yourself, vile wretched sinner that you are!
I think the best thing about this book is that it is all about YOU! If you need to learn to applaud yourself, then buy this book immediately. If you want to live with confidence that you deserve everything you want, then you can't go another second without having this volume.
So many people go through life thinking that they aren't important, that they shouldn't look out for Number One, or ever get anything they want. Sometimes people are so unselfish. But this book will let you know that you are possibly more important than anyone you know. I really enjoyed this passage on page 228:
"In life, you are you. And when you are you, you are important.
You are the very you-iness of you. So if you you, then you. And
if you can't, then pray, and maybe God will give you the you that
you've been wanting."
Inspiring!!
Some books get bogged down with the teachings of Jesus and caring for others, you know, that Biblical stuff. But Victoria Osteen is more concerned with how you feel about yourself. So ignore all those pleading voices around you, and focus on the most important thing: you, you, beautiful, botoxed you!
