April Book of the Month Review
Victoria Osteen is the co-pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas and the author of numerous books including the New York Times bestseller, “Love Your Life.” Victoria’s ability to provide inspiration and encouragement is recognized by millions of readers who follow her on social media and those that listen to her Sirius XM radio program and highly ranked podcasts. The inspiration that she provides plays an integral part of each service at her church.
Many Christians spend their lives pursuing an identity which is formed and based upon what they do rather than on who they are. Career choices and the resultant successes and failures drive their sense of purpose and accomplishment. Instead of living their lives victoriously they create toxic environments by reacting negatively to the everyday circumstances that they face. Knowingly or not they suppress their true identity by pursuing an identity apart from God which leads to confusion, separation, and isolation. The “Exceptional You!” is an inspirational gem which provides the reader with both the knowledge and encouragement necessary for living in these challenging times. Victoria does a masterful job at leading you down the path of self-discovery and appreciation, while at the same time challenging you to be the best that you can be. She uses a recipe of personal stories and God’s Word to take you through seven life changing practices. This is NOT A BOOK that you read ONE TIME and then place it on a shelf somewhere. Victoria has provided you with an "Exceptional Thoughts" section at the close of each chapter which provides key concepts and truth nuggets which may be used as ready reference tools for living victoriously.
This book is about discovery; discovering who you are, discovering the awesomeness of our God, discovering how you are made in the image of God, and discovering how to unlock the “Exceptional You!” If you want to live the victorious life as the masterpiece that you were created to be I strongly recommend that you buy this book and let Victoria Osteen guide you to living a life that is “encouraged, empowered, and intentional.”
