“The Power Of Favor” is a masterful work of encouragement! Living a life of thankfulness with an attitude of gratitude is something that every Christian should strive to do. Resting in the finished work of the cross with the knowledge that we have been set apart should be very uplifting and powerful for us. Joel Osteen presents a wonderful picture of how God gives us an advantage and endorses us wherever we go. God's favor on our lives enables us to accomplish things that on our own we would be helpless to do. Through life examples and testimonies the author shows us how being marked for blessings, and by way of the many avenues of influence that those blessings open up, we are taken to a new level.
This book provides the reader with the much needed inspiration to overcome the excessive stress and negative situations that we all face in our daily lives. Joel with his usual calm and collective demeanor shows how we should be living our lives with expectancy. Thanking God daily for His endorsement, and asking Him to show people we are his sons and daughters is something that Joel encourages us to do. The bottom line take away from this book that may very well change your life forever, is that our goal must be to Live Favor Minded: We must expect it! & We must declare it!
If you want to be uplifted, encouraged, and inspired to walk in the favor of God then it would behoove you to get this book.
