Pray bold Dare to ask and believe big

Joel Osteen

Large print - 2025

"At any given moment, God is ready to jump into our lives and act on our circumstances. But we spend so much time overwhelmed by the demands of daily life that we forget the amazing power we have access to as children of God. Our lives are dull and our situations don't change because we are not asking God for the bold desires that are in our hearts. Instead of praying that God will help you survive the day of work at a dead-end job, pray that God will open the doors for you to have your dream job at your dream company. Instead of praying that God will keep you and your spouse from getting a divorce, pray that God will light the way to making your marriage happy and thriving again. There is a clear pathway between what we think, wh...at we ask for, and what God does. Transform your life by starting a new way of thinking, asking boldly, and believing big!"--

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

"How you pray determines what kind of life you live," contends megachurch pastor Osteen (Speak the Blessing) in this impassioned if well-worn prayer guide. Assuring readers that God "knows where your provision is, and He knows how to get it to you," Osteen calls on believers to worship with the knowledge that God will answer their prayers when he sees fit ("If it happened instantly, it wouldn't take any faith"). Elsewhere, Osteen advises that Christians should avoid thinking or speaking pessimistically ("God wants to show you supernatural increase, but you can cancel it out with a negative tongue"); eschew a victim mentality; and pray for others and their communities, because "every seed you sow will come back to you." Osteen's trademark charisma is galvanizing, and his command of lesser-known Bible stories is impressive, though repetition both within the book (the story of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well is discussed in two separate chapters) and across his other works lends this the feel of an overlong sermon. Still, Osteen's fans will get exactly what they came for. (Jan.)
