I like this author. I've watched his sermons for many years and I've read many of his books.
But I think with all of that to draw on, I do have one little complaint. He constantly and consistently uses the same 5 stories. Over. And over. And over. So maybe he can speak that blessing and some new material will come his way. 3 stars.

I loved this book. I was given the opportunity by Faith Words, Hachette Book Group and NetGalley to read an advance copy of this book and I am so thankful. I read this book at a time in my life when I was facing many obstacles. It also happened to be the start of a new year. I found Joel Osteen's words to be extremely inspiring. Things such as: The miracle is in your mouth, and Don't talk about the problem, talk about the promise. These nuggets, along with many others included in the book were a great blessing. I'm so glad I requested this book and took the time to read it. I highly recommend this book to those who need a spiritual pick me up or knows someone who does.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and feel blessed to have read this. If there is one book you should read this year, it's this one. It will uplift you, bring hope into your heart, remind you of how good God is, and the ways in which you can join hands with God to turn your life around. This is one book that will be by my bedside and in my book bag to carry with me so that I can dip into a remembrance of how to activate the blessings and the promises God has for me (and for you, and everyone of us).

What a true blessing this book is ! A great reminder for all no matter where we are in our faith walk. What we speak certainly helps to guide what we will receive. I really recommend this book, and feel that it would make a great small group study for support and accountability.

In Speak the Blessing, Joel Osteen has written a new book about speaking out life giving words over our lives and unlocking the power in our mouths. He begins the book by sharing how his church begins every service with a daily declaration filling with everything they are in Christ. It referred to as “I Am”. Joel has seen how the power of your words can change your life. When we send out the words in the direction and way, we want our lives to go, we can witness our lives improving. He explained how if we are wanting to be healthy, we need to declare that we are healed this helps to release the healing in our lives. He shared how scriptures tells us to declare we are strong even if we feel weak. He opened up about his mother had to choose to declare that she was healed. She was diagnosed with liver cancer in 1981 and not given a good medical report and outcome. She would actively read and speak scriptures over her life. She would declare that she would live and not die and forty-three years later she is still alive and was healed.
One of my favorite chapters discussed telling ourselves a new story. Our current story comes from how we choose to see ourselves. It can come from our past and how we were raised our failures. This is limiting ourselves and we are believing what we are telling ourselves. We can make a new decision and write a new story. God has declared that we are a masterpiece, a victor, and an overcomer. He can turn around anything negative that we have faced and cause it to work out for our good. He encouraged readers to take the pen back and rewrite a new story. He used this chapter to share the challenges he encountered when his father passed away and he had to step up and pastor the church. He was transparent in revealing how he thought he couldn’t ever get up and speak to the church and he had fear. He was more typically quiet then his father was. He had to do what he instructed readers to do. He had to tell himself a new story and that God has equipped him and he was anointed to do what he was called to do.
I would this awesome book to anyone who is seeking a book about the power of your mouth. This book can assist you in speaking truth over your life and it can teach you on to send the words in the right direction. One of my favorite stories was about how our story may be limiting and Joel told a story about a bear who was forced to live in a cage and went they tried to resend her into the wild she wouldn’t go. She got out of the cage but the cage wouldn’t get out of her. This is a very insightful story about the story we tell ourselves can cause us to remain stuck in life. I loved how positive this book was and how it taught readers to prophesy their future and to stop cursing your future. The principles in this book can greatly change your life just learn to speak them out!

This is a very good book of inspiration and encouragement. It’s not just a book on positive speaking. It’s a guide to victory through continuous confession of God’s promises.
This book can help with:
• Spiritual growth
• Staying encouraged though lengthy trials
• Starting and keeping positive days
• Healing
• Obtaining generational blessings
• Salvation
• Receiving financial blessings
The “You Promised” chapter includes plenty powerful biblical declarations. They would have been even more helpful if scripture references were included. I like when he said, “God isn’t obligated to do what we say, but He’s obligated to do what He says.”
In times past, I came across previous content in new books. It was nice having those refreshers. But, this time, there were quite a few repeats. I ended up skipping over pages. Since there are only a handful of Pastor Joel’s books I haven’t read, coming across progressively repetitive content was inevitable. However, it didn’t change helpfulness of book. And there was enough new material for me to take notes.
If you’ve only read a few books by Pastor Joel, buy and read this helpful book. If you already have numerous titles, still read this book. If you want to save a few bucks, I recommend getting this one from a library.
I recommend this book.

I was given the opportunity by Faith Words, Hachette Book Group and NetGalley to read an advance copy of this book and I am so grateful. Speak the Blessing by Joel Osteen was inspiring and uplifting. We all have a tendency to go through life and only think about our problems, the negative. It is always so hard to think of the positives as well as speak the positives. Speak the Blessings is a reminder to all of us to speak our blessings out loud. What we speak will help guide us to what we receive. Speak your Blessings will send your words in the right direction. Get the negative out of your head and put in place your blessings. God is always with you, speak your blessings out loud.

When I read this, I can hear Joel’s voice and picture his demeanor exactly how he is on TV. Full of positivity, joy, and laughter. Is the content vastly different from his other books… maybe not, but it’s just as inspiring, relevant, and comforting to hear again. I greatly appreciated and enjoyed reading it. It served as a nice reminder and I gained some new insights from it.
On another note, I was chuckling at all of his jokes at his brother Paul’s expense. I hope Paul is being compensated! ; )
THANK YOU NetGalley & FaithWords for sending this book for review consideration.
