Kurzbeschreibung
Get your hopes up. Raise your expectations. Your best days are in front of you.
In challenging times, it may be hard to see better days ahead. You may feel as though your struggles will never end, that things won't ever turn around for you.
This is exactly the moment to put your faith into action and expect God's blessings.
It's your time to declare your faith, to look for God's favor, and to give control of your life to Him so that you can find fulfillment in His plans for you!
It's Your Time to believe.
It's not easy to always be optimistic. Life can be difficult, and in hard economic times it's not just your finances that suffer. Your relationships can be strained. Your health can be stressed. Bad habits can return and negative thoughts can take over.
When one part of your life after another takes a bad turn, you can feel like there is no end in sight, no way out. The truth is, maybe you don't have an answer. But God does! Maybe you don't have the strength. But God does!
It's Your Time for favor.
In It's Your Time, bestselling author Joel Osteen, pastor of the nation's largest church, offers the inspirational truth that no matter where you stand in life, you are never alone. He reminds you also that the bigger your burden, the greater your blessings to come.
You may have neglected God, but He has not abandoned you. He has already released good things into your future. As long as you're breathing, you can still reclaim His favor by renewing your faith and accepting His plans for you.
It's Your Time for restoration.
In these pages, Joel offers assurances that God does not want you to merely survive challenging times, He wants you to thrive. When you give your life over to Him, God will send opportunities your way so that you can soar to new heights of fulfillment.
History has shown that the most difficult times can serve as catalysts for creativity, innovation, and accomplishment. If you hold on to your faith, ask for God's favor, and don't give in to depression or discouragement, you will emerge not bitter but better, not a victim but a victor.
It's Your Time to trust.
God already is working in your life to arrange the right people, the right skills, and the right opportunities to give you the tools you need to fulfill and exceed your dreams.
Drawing from Joel's experiences and those of people around the world, It's Your Time offers messages of faith, hope, and strength to help you rise above any circumstance so that you can fulfill God's best plan for your life.
It's Your Time to stretch.
Joel has filled this book with bold new prayers, inspiring stories, and practical tools for moving forward in faith. You will find inspiration from others who have overcome adversity and achieved their dreams. You will find proven methods for not just picking up the pieces but for building a new life better than you'd imagined.
The hopeful messages and warm encouragements in this book will push you to expand your horizons beyond what you thought you were capable of doing so that you might go even farther than you'd ever dreamed of going.
It's Your Time!

Format:Taschenbuch
I also like the third book of Pastor Joel Osteen. Of course - as I have been listening to the services of Lakewood Church online until now - I can remember some passages - but nonetheless - also this book is worth the 5 stars.
Especially, when I go trough the book a second time - more quite - choosing only one capital at a time - I can learn a lot.
Important is not to rush trough the book - than it could be a really blessing.

Format:Audio CD
"Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it." -- Deuteronomy 1:38 (NKJV)
The Bible is full of encouragers . . . whose words led to deeds that would not otherwise have occurred. It's all part of God's purpose for our lives. It's Your Time is a modern-day book of encouragement, drawing on God's promises in the Bible.
Here's an outline of the contents:
Part One: It's Time to Believe
1. You're Closer than You Think
2. It's Your Time
3. Seizing Your God-Given Opportunities
4. New Seasons of Increase
5. You Are Your Father's Child
Part Two: It's Time for Favor
6. Praying Bold Prayers
7. Thriving, Not Just Surviving
8. Choosing Faith over Fear
9. Favor Has Been Released in Your Future
10. Speaking Faith-Filled Words
Part Three: It's Time for Restoration
11. God Can Turn Back Time
12. You Have Comeback Power
13. Be a Bounce-Back Person
14. Living a Resurrected Life
15. Your Sunday Is Coming
Part Four: It's Time to Trust
16. All Things Work Together for Our Good
17. God Remembers You
18. Gaining Strength Through Adversity
19. The Anointing of Ease
Part Five: It's Time to Stretch
20. Stepping into Your Divine Destiny
21. Stay Open for Something New
22. Finding Your Place of Blessing
23. Believe for a Supernatural Year
Each section is drawn from a sermon at Lakewood Church. If you listen to all the messages Pastor Osteen gives, almost all of these will be familiar to you. You won't, however, be used to reading (or listening) to them back to back. The cumulative effect on my faith was quite positive. Praise God for that!
I want to mention that I listened to an unabridged audio CD version narrated by Jonathan Hogan and published by Recorded Books. While Mr. Hogan is a talented narrator . . . on this material he's no Pastor Joel Osteen. I recommend you instead read the book or listen to Pastor Osteen's narration.

Ignore the Negative Reviews
7. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I've purchased all of Joel Osteen's previous books (and Victoria's book as well) and I've found all of them to be helpful, inspiring and uplifting. Since there have been several recent books and because of some negative reviews on this site, I almost didn't purchase It's Your Time. Fortunately I took the chance based on my past experience with his books and I'm glad I did. I truly disagree with the negative reviews that state "it's a rehash" or that the book was "phoned in" rather than being written with care and dedication. Yes there are references to previous books and previous anecdotes. But the majority of the stories, examples and anecdotes are new. Osteen makes numerous references to the current economic situation and how to weather the storms. His concrete suggestions for dealing with adversity would be helpful even to an atheist, much more to a believer.
I realize he's seen as sort of an unsophisticated "Bible thumper" but he has a great way to demonstrating how adversity can be turned into a blessing and our enemies can inspire us to greatness. As he commented in the book, if not for Goliath, David would probably have lived and died a simple shepherd boy. It took adversity, a challenge and risk for the world to recognize David's talent and greatness.
My thoughts regarding the negative reviews is that some people a) resent Osteen's success and b) think that religious teachings need to focus on punishment and sacrifice to be credible. In all fairness, if you are a Biblical scholar, the Osteen books are probably not your cup of tea. But for the many millions of people who are mired in self doubt and afraid to act, I think they will find some insight and inspiration from It's Your Time.

It's (Not Worth) Your Time
14. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I really like Joel Osteen. Since I started watching him on TV years ago, alot of what he speaks to makes sense to me, and he has enriched my life in many ways. I read his first book, and enjoyed it. Then I read his second book, and noticed he borrowed some material from his first book. I had very high hopes for this new release, and thought this time the book would contain all new material. Maybe my hopes were too high.
After reading this book, I came to the conclusion that this time around he is just phoning it in. Most of "It's Your Time" is comprised of recycled anecdotes and passages from his previous two books, as well as transcriptions of a few TV sermons. How many times do we need to hear how he met his wife? We get it already....you bought a cheap watch. Or his deal with the Compaq Center(I don't think we'll ever hear the end of that one), or the story about the exploding can of biscuits, and about 50 other passages that made me stop and check the book jacket to see if I was reading his "new" book or one of his previous books. Anyone else notice this too?
There was a smattering of new paragraphs, but not enough to justify 300 pages.....a pamphlet maybe. I hope the next time around will not be as disappointing. So in the meantime, I will stay in faith, and pray for some new material. Amen.

Not what you expect
24. November 2009
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I like Joel Osteen, and watch his sermons weekly either on TV or via podcast. This is not a review of Joel Osteen; it is a review of the book.
I purchased this book on kindle when it first came out, and I haven't finished reading it yet -- and doubt that I will. This is not a real book, but more of a collection of sermons he has given over the years. In fact, I watched a sermon after I started reading the book -- and though when reading the book it seemed familiar, when I saw the TV show I was surprised to hear not just the "theme" but the actual story I had read. Same joke, same anecdote, same lesson, almost verbatim.
If you have already watched Joel on TV or podcast, then no need to buy this book to learn another facet -- it is just a repackage of sermons he has already given.
However, if you don't mind reading what you've already heard/seen, then perhaps buying this book will reinforce what you've already been told by Joel. I wish I had known the content before I bought this book -- I probably would have waited.
