Searching for Christian books reviewshas become a lot easier today with the internet now at the disposal of people looking for either good or bad reviews on top Christian books.

Books with a Christian core base have always been popular in western society for several reasons and one of them is their ability to relate stories of miracles and to teach some of life's lessons. Many may argue that Christian books can be classed in the self improvement category and one answer to that would be "and why shouldn't they be."

In a tough economic climate people are looking for answers to their dilemmas and inspiring stories of faith and miracles is a great place to start. For those who need the guidance taught in books of Christian faith but don't really have a starting point then searching for authors will get you some great results.

In recent times, Joel Osteen has emerged as a teacher of knowledge, wisdom and revelation and looking for his titles will definitely put you in a good place literature wise. You simply need to do a search online or search Christian book stores and his name will be high on the recommended list of authors to read.

Christian Book Reviews

It depends where you are in your life and what type of guidance you're after. There are books dedicated to men, women, prosperity, healing...just about any topic you can think of.

Christian literature may be new to you yet you could be going through a tough time right at the moment. Check the reviews of some of the more popular titles for a start and once you become more familiar with this niche then you'll be amazed how one book leads you to another.

But the important thing to remember is, no one Christian piece is going to provide the solution you need on a one off basis but will make you sit and think about yourself and your life and the magic happens in their ability to suddenly make something that looked impossible look clear. And it could be just a small adjustment in the way you look at things that can make all the difference.

Practical advice relayed in a calm and easy to understand fashion is the cornerstone of the power of Christian literature. There are many issues affecting us today from economic struggle to sex to stress - the faith to carry on and ride out these storms of distress can be found in the pages of both paid and free Christian books.

Laughter: The Road to Better Health

There is solid scientific research that shows laughter improves many medical conditions. Some of these conditions include lowering blood pressure, improving circulation, reducing stress and it increases muscle flexion, strengthens cardiovascular functions, oxygenates the body and boosts the respiratory system.

There are many ways to get your daily laugh for the day. Read a funny story, or watch a commedy on TV. As I was growing up, we often watched the British shows like Fawlty Towers, To the Manor Born, and the Good Neighbors. We also watched I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners. The shows took me away from my problems and improved my health. I noticed that when my family watched these funny shows together, we weren't often sick.

Plain and simple, laughing boosts the immune function. It does this by raising Gammainterferon, or otherwise called disease-fighting proteins. The T-cells fight infection and B-cells produce antibodies that destroy disease. Laughter also releases endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers.

Effects of Laughter is Studied at Loma Linda University

Loma Linda University conducted a study that involved 16 healthy male volunteers. The 16 men were divvied into two groups. During the test, the researchers drew blood and they did it again three more times after the tests. One group, (the experiment group) was told that they would watch humorous videos. The other group, the control group, was not. The results between these two groups were astounding. The experiment group showed a decrease in cortisol, epinephrine and dopac. These are all stress hormones. They showed an increase in chemicals that alleviates depression, (beta-endorphins) and the human growth hormone that boosts immunity. The research study reveals: The physiological effects of watching an hour of comedy can last from 12 to 24 hours in different people.

Photographer Joel Sartore relates a story about his grandmother. She lived to be 91-years-young and firmly believed that is what kept her young and alive.

Barb Fisher, a certified laughter yoga teacher reports that kids laugh about 400 times a day. Compare that to adults who laugh only about 15 times a day. It's no wonder that when we reach adulthood, we are reaching for the pills and are sick for more days than we care to admit.

Dr Michael Miller, director of the center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center doesn't know why laughter protects the heart. Mental stress impairs endothelium. The endothelium is the protective barrier lining of blood vessels. Laughter releases the correct chemicals to counteract the imbalances.

Two Well-known People That Prove Laughter Cures Even Cancer

There are countless examples of people who used laughter to cure themselves, but two of the well known persons are Norman Cousins and Dodi Osteen. The doctors diagnosed Norman Cousins with a life-threatening illness. Norman found what his doctors suggested to be totally lacking hope, so he decided to check into a hotel. He made a life changing decision and that was to watch only funny movies and television shows. Form Charlie Chaplin to Candid Camera, he laughed and laughed until his sides hurt. Miraculously, his illness disappeared. Norman wrote a book called "Anatomy of an Illness" in an effort to help others going through the same ordeal.

In 1981, Dodi Osteen, mother to Joel Osteen well-known television minister, had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She had been in the hospital for 21 days while the doctors ran every test they could think of on her. In the end, the results were always the same; she had metastatic cancer of the liver and was given only a few weeks to live. The doctors told her to go home and prepare to die; they could do nothing to save her life. This woman of faith refused that verdict and like Norman Cousins, she went home and watched comedies on television. For most of the day, she would watch cartoons and laugh and laugh. Years later, she is still healthy and active in the running of Lakewood church.

Here are two very different people diagnosed with a terminal disease. Neither one accepted the doctors predictions. They literally laughed their way to health. Laughter is the free medicine that is fun to do and has no limits on the amounts to take. A person can never take too much and they don’t have to worry about harmful side effects. What a great way to improve your health.

Joel Osteen's Christless Christianity

On June 20, 2005 Joel Osteen had a interview with talk show host Larry King. Mr. Osteen is the pastor of the Lakewood Church in Houston, it claims to be the largest single church in America. The church has about 30,000 people who attend it weekly. Joel has also authored many Christian books, and he has sold millions of them worldwide. Here now are Joel's words.

KING: Is it hard to lead a Christian life?

OSTEEN: I don't think it's that hard. To me it's fun. We have joy and happiness. Our family -- I don't feel like that at all. I'm not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I'm just living my life.

KING: But you have rules, don't you?

OSTEEN: We do have rules. But the main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that's really the essence of the Christian faith.

KING: That we live in deeds?

OSTEEN: I don't know. What do you mean by that?

KING: Because we've had ministers on who said, your record don't count. You either believe in Christ or you don't. If you believe in Christ, you are, you are going to heaven. And if you don't no matter what you've done in your life, you ain't.

OSTEEN: Yeah, I don't know. There's probably a balance between. I believe you have to know Christ. But I think that if you know Christ, if you're a believer in God, you're going to have some good works. I think it's a cop-out to say I'm a Christian but I don't ever do anything ...

KING: What if you're Jewish or Muslim, you don't accept Christ at all?

OSTEEN: You know, I'm very careful about saying who would and wouldn't go to heaven. I don't know ...

KING: If you believe you have to believe in Christ? They're wrong, aren't they?

OSTEEN: Well, I don't know if I believe they're wrong. I believe here's what the Bible teaches and from the Christian faith this is what I believe. But I just think that only God with judge a person's heart. I spent a lot of time in India with my father. I don't know all about their religion. But I know they love God. And I don't know. I've seen their sincerity. So I don't know. I know for me, and what the Bible teaches, I want to have a relationship with Jesus.

KING: The Senate apologized last week for slavery. You think the Southern Baptists and a lot of the churches in the South owe some apology, too?

OSTEEN: I've never thought about it. Because I just didn't -- wasn't raised in it.

KING: But you know its history.

OSTEEN: Oh, absolutely. I think that it would never hurt; anything we could do to make amends, the better it can be. That's what I love about our church. It's made up of all different races. That's what life should all be about. That's what God wants it to be.

KING: Doesn't it hurt you that people 50 years ago talking about God and Christ also didn't -- Martin Luther King call 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning the most segregated hour in America? Does it bother you to know that predecessors of yours ...

OSTEEN: Yeah, absolutely bothers me. It's not right. It's a shame, and I don't know how they could do it with a pure heart to God but, you know what? It happened.

KING: I want to get to the seven steps. But when the people call you cotton candy theology. Someone said you're very good but there's no spiritual nourishment. I don't know what that means ...

OSTEEN: I think, I hear it meaning a lot of different things. One I think a lot of it is that I'm not condemning people. And I don't know, but Larry I talk, I mean every week in our church we're dealing with people that are fighting cancer, that have their lost loved ones. That are going through a divorce. I mean, I talk about those issues, and to me I don't see how it can get any more, you know, real than that. So I don't know what the criticism is.

KING: What is the prosperity gospel?

OSTEEN: I think the prosperity gospel in general is -- well I don't know. I hear it too. I don't know. I think what sometimes you see is it's just all about money. That's not what I believe. It's the attitude of your heart, and so you know, we believe -- but I do believe this, that God wants us to be blessed. He wants us to be able to send our kids to college, excel in our careers. But prosperity to me, Larry, is not just money, it's having health. What good is money if you don't have health?

KING: Also many in the Christian belief are wary of too much material, aren't they?

OSTEEN: Yeah, I think some of them are. But to me, you know, I hope people get blessed if they can handle it right. Because it takes money to do good. You know to do things for people. To spread the good news. So I think it's all a matter of your heart.

KING: You think other preachers are envious of you?

OSTEEN: If they are, I don't feel it. I've got so many good friends. And the ones I know are encouraging me. I don't hear anything but good things from them. I hope they're not. Because we're all in it together.

KING: You want to do this the rest of your life?

OSTEEN: I do. I do. I know it's what I'm called to do. I feel like this is why I was born. Even though I never dreamed I'd be doing it. But I know now I never dreamed I'd be able to get to help people like this. I never dreamed it was in me. I didn't know I could get up to speak in front of people and impact people's lives. I didn't know I could do that. I was shy.

KING: We'll get to those seven steps in a minute. We'll be taking your calls, as well. Don't go away.

KING: Phoenix, Arizona. Hello.

CALLER: Hello, Larry. You're the best, and thank you, Joe -- Joel -- for your positive messages and your book. I'm wondering, though, why you side-stepped Larry's earlier question about how we get to heaven? The bible clearly tells us that Jesus is the way, the truth and the light and the only way to the father is through him. That's not really a message of condemnation but of truth.

OSTEEN: Yes, I would agree with her. I believe that...

KING: So then a Jew is not going to heaven?

OSTEEN: No. Here's my thing, Larry, is I can't judge somebody's heart. You know? Only god can look at somebody's heart, and so -- I don't know. To me, it's not my business to say, you know, this one is or this one isn't. I just say, here's what the bible teaches and I'm going to put my faith in Christ. And I just I think it's wrong when you go around saying, you're saying you're not going, you're not going, you're not going, because it's not exactly my way. I'm just...

KING: But you believe your way.

OSTEEN: I believe my way. I believe my way with all my heart.

KING: But for someone who doesn't share it is wrong, isn't he?

OSTEEN: Well, yes. Well, I don't know if I look at it like that. I would present my way, but I'm just going to let god be the judge of that. I don't know. I don't know.

KING: So you make no judgment on anyone?

OSTEEN: No. But I...

KING: What about atheists?

OSTEEN: You know what, I'm going to let someone -- I'm going to let god be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell. I just -- again, I present the truth, and I say it every week. You know, I believe it's a relationship with Jesus. But you know what? I'm not going to go around telling everybody else if they don't want to believe that that's going to be their choice. God's got to look at your own heart. God's got to look at your heart, and only god knows that.

KING: You believe there's a place called heaven?

OSTEEN: I believe there is. Yes. You know, you've had a lot of the near-death experiences and things like that. Some of that is very, to me, not that you need that as proof, but it shows you these little kids seeing the angels and things like that.

KING: We'll take a break, and when we come back, the better half, Victoria, will join us. Don't go away.

The Word says that there is only one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; John 4:24; James 2:19: Revelations 4:2-8) And only one way to God, through the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 10:9, 14:6; Acts 4:10-12; 1 Corinthians 1:24; Colossians 3:17; Phillipians 2:9-11) Jesus Christ is the only name that now saves us."Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:10-12) Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) We are told to do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus. "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." (Colossians 3:17) Are you going to believe in Joel Osteen or God. Belief in His word is tantamount to acting upon it. If your serious about God you will repent, and then call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in your baptism, which is for the forgiveness of your sins. (See Mark 16:16; John 3:5; 6:29; Acts 2:38, 8:12-18; 10:36-48: 15:16-33; 18:8; 19:5; 22:16; Ephesians 2:8-10; James 2:15-26; 1 John 3:15-18)

Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential

The key to doing so are the seven steps Osteen outlines: Enlarge Your Vision, Develop a Healthy Self-Image, Discover the Power of Your Thoughts and Words, Let go of the Past, Find Strength Through Adversity, Live to Give, and Choose to Be Happy.

10 Ways to Develop a Personal Relationship With God

1. Have a desire in your heart to develop a personal relationship with God and know God’s love, power and heart. learn as much as you can.

2. Start off your day with God- Devote a part of your morning 30-45 minutes or more to spend time with the Lord- before going to work.

3. Read the Word of God and understand what God says about key issues- marriage, forgiveness, treating others, righteousness, holiness, praise, worship, how to deal with problems in our lives. Take a passage of scripture and think about, ponder on it, until it gets into your heart. Do not just read one book of the bible, but explore in the Old testament and the new testament as well.

4. Pray everyday- Begin with thanking God for Who He is and all He has done in your life, instead of just asking Him to do things. Pray for the country, your family, your church, your neighborhood, your pastor, your unsaved loved ones, etc. Talk to God at different times of the day.

5. After praying, listen to hear God speak.

6. Get some worship Cd’s and listen on your way to work and back from work. This will increase a yearning and hunger to know God.

7. Listen to Christian music on the radio and online.

8. Go to a godly, bible-based church in your area- connect with people who knows God and talk aobut their relationship with God continually and get involved in a good bible study and prayer meeting.

9. Turn off the junk on regular TV and Watch Christian television programs that would enhance your faith- Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, John Hagee, etc.

10. Set a day and time to memorize scripture verses.

11. Apply your heart to obey God’s Word and the teachings you hear.
