Product Description

LIFE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE JUST GOOD. IT CAN BE GREAT.

Let noted pastor, author and speaker Ed Young show you how.

Ed Young, pastor of one of the most attended churches in America and host of an inspirational TV show aired in over 150 million homes worldwide, believes that there is a definite path to true happiness. The media glamorizes life as a series of peak experiences and high-adrenaline adventures. But life is not like that, and circumstances are seldom the way people want them to be. Beginning with his five life-altering questions and eye-opening insights, Ed steers readers not only to a better life but to an even greater place beyond happiness that he calls outrageous, contagious joy. This is God's priority for everyone-a great, joyous life with happiness beyond their wildest dreams. Now Ed Young reaches beyond his congregation to share the message with us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep Your Eyes On the Big Picture!, May 6, 2007

By	bigmac105 - See all my reviews

Apparently, my definition of "glaring errors" is quite different than others. This book is excellent and provides much-needed encouragement, advice, and hope for people today. People who set out to look for errors will always find minute, inconsequential errors in books. Every book has them, because editing on tight deadlines is tough business; and these errors usually do very little to take away from the overall meaning and effectiveness of the book. Pointing these out just keeps people who need to read this book from picking it up and quite possible changing their lives. That's a shame. I've been involved in editing books for many years, and word histories are often difficult to pin down. One book says one thing and another something very different. For "hap," the meanings "chance" and "luck" are essentially the same thing, regardless of the point of origin. By the way, I don't know how much I'd take stock in a review about editing that has such a "glaring" run-on sentence at the end. The subtitle of this book is: Five Big Questions to Help You Discover One Great Life. Let's keep our eyes on the Big picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still reading it and will read it again and again, March 2, 2007

By	A. Arketa "Arbonne International Independant ... (MI, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just started this book and put it down only to concentrate on my college courses. My plan is to read it through once to get the feel for it then re-read it while interactively doing the exercises. Great book for spiritual growth and for sharing with fellow Christians.
