Joel Osteen has a great book out, Your Best Life Now. This book is so motivational. It will help your personal life and your Arbonne business.


He will be in Raleigh, NC on January 27 at 7:00 p.m. It's a Friday night.


I purchased 4 tickets but we cannot go. They were $10 each. If you live in the Raleigh area and would to purchase the tickets from me, just let me know.


I'd hate for the tickets to go to waste. Edited by: NCArbonne

I love Joel Osteen....my family and I had the opportunity to hear most of his book on CD on a long road trip!


What an inspirational speaker and Man of God!


I too would jump on those tickets but unfortunately I am in MN!


I encourage anyone who is in the area to go!


Thanks for offering, NCArbonne!!!

Okay I am missing something. I googled this guy and it talked about him being the poster boy for PROSPERITY GOSPEL. Most of what i read was negative re his ..well ...WHAT he is preaching. NOW I ADMIT I have never heard him or read him.. that is why I did the google.. But they say his degree is in MARKETING.. And he sort of inherited his preaching business from his father..


These sites were really putting down his committment to the WORD.. Now I kind of thought the sites were going way overboard on the criticism.. But I notice you say he will help with our PERSONAL life and our BUSINESS life.. but no mention of the SPIRITUAL


I was wondering why he charges admission and .. Joyce Meyer is free admission.

We watch him on Sunday mornings. He talks about positive self-talk, positive attitude. He relates that to verses in the Bible.


He must be doing something right because his church has doubled! I know people who live in Houston and have gone to Lakewood Church and leave feeling good about themselves.


I don't know much about Joyce Meyer, and I don't know why Joel charges.


I have to attend a class on Saturday the 28th in Charlotte and I can't be in Raleigh and in Charlotte at the same time.


If you know who Joel is, live in the Raleigh or even Charlotte area, and want to see Joel, I have 4 tickets available.

I am going to have to check himout for myself.. But just because his church has doubled.. well so has Las Vegas! (Could it be all that skill in marketing? ) He might be wonderful. I will have to decide for myself .. I guess. It does sound like he will motivate a person for business. But so does Training by Vince Lombardi.

Hey Lisa~


That is so great that you grew up in my home state! Minnesota is awesome and you can't beat the winter we are having these days -- it has been in the 30s and 40s -- great for MN!


I live in Bloomington (Mall of America) and I just love it!


Best wishes to you, Lisa!

Well, i know that ALL succesful people will have people wishing bad for them, as the same thing happen in all areas andwith all arbonne consultants that are succesful, always you will find other peoplethat was on arbonne and never succeeded saying bad things and discouraging others. Why Jooel Osteen church has been growing?


Ibelieve people care for others and is not only the marketing or other things that has this church there.


How many people has ministries in TV TOO?


They should be critisized too.


The difference is the message,


the message of love and encouragement. Seems like meny forgot to tell people that.


I believe people care for others and help each other, also this church has services in Spanish and yes, this is why I say this people really care.


Lakewood church cares to think in the spiritual needs of hispanics and cultural backgrounds, they know this country has different people that can not be ingnored. Many churches are sending missionaries to other countries and is ok , I'm glad for that, but HERE IN THIS COUNTRY EXIST A GREAT NEED of people who care that dare to put more services in different languages going to different cultures with out go far fromhOME.


Well as far I know Lakewood church invited to work in the hispanic area the pastor Mr. Marcos Witt who does the services totally in spanish. The services not only are in tv, but in the internet. this church has all areas covered and all technology working to be sure to reach others.


I been part of this services and never put you down. You are very welcome and you hear a encouraging message.


Right now with all thatis happening in this world, people need tohear encouragement words, hear that people care, and not all is bad out there. I believe that the pastor has to live and pay bills too. comming from a crongragation so big, and the love he receive I'm sure he got a good salary +house.


I don't see it bad, just like us ...if we work good and hard you should get your pay.


As Pastor Joelsaid: Many people look butother keep working untilwalk in thir dream.


keep the good things goin...smileys/smiley32.gif


The bad ones not even remember them!smileys/smiley32.gif

I live north of Houston and have gone to the old lakewood church on many occassions. The new church is in the Compaq Center (formerly the Summit, where the Rockets played and won many national championships!) I heard Joel's father John preach before he died and really enjoy listenting to Joel. Yes, he is motiviational. Yes, he knows how to market the Church his family has built through the years. Yes, He is a man of God and is very spiritual. I think that people criticize him because he walks the walk and talks the talk so to speak -- he has been blessed with abundance because he does believe in God...as we all can be! This is my Bible, I am what it says i am, i have what it says I have......

Jolly - FWIW, I agree with you. Are you a Christian believer? <!--

Without a doubt I am a Christian belieer! Without God I am nothing. My business with Arbonne is a leap of faith, but I believe that he will bless my family based on his word.
