I think Joel Osteen is Great! he doesn't ask for money constantly like most people do, he asks one time..and one time only. His books are fabulous! They have helped alot. I don't see anything New Age, so some people say. There is nothing wrong with being positive. But there is something wrong with being negative. It's a shame to read alot of the garbage down below, however I've been saved almost all my life, & honestly...all the people that has even had the nerve to say they are a christian & write something negative about a man of God, should read their bible a little more, as God speaks against that. If you do nnot have the gift of discernment..then you really shouldn't say anything.
