In Peaceful on Purpose, Joel Osteen has written a brand-new book on assisting readers in dealing with conflict and how to live in peace, no matter what you may face. He begins the book by explaining how we can live in a mindset of all is well. Even when we are faced with difficult challenges, sickness, business failures, friend betrays us, handling the after effects of the pandemic, marriage struggles, and any other challenges. Joel explained how we can learn to replace our worries with all is well and how this is showing us how to place our trust in God. He looked at the story of the three Hebrew teenagers, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and how they were able to be thrown in to the fiery furnace because they refused to worship and bow down to a golden idol. They could have decided to complain and feel sorry for themselves. Instead, they believed that God will deliver them and protect them. When the king looked into the fiery furnace, he saw four men walking around unharmed. This is when the king realized one of the four men was the Son of God. Joel reminded readers that even though they were walking around and doing the right thing and following God. They still faced opposition and challenges.
He also opened up about how in his own life how he handled his father dying from a heart attack. He shared how he didn’t know how the church would go on and what all would happen. Joel learned this principle and how he had to believe in faith and remember that God is in control. He shared how you can turn negative thoughts around and to not focus on the what ifs in life.
I would recommend this awesome to anyone who is ready to live in peace and to handle difficult challenges that we will face in life. I immensely loved the hopeful attitude that Joel has and how he trained himself with God’s help in living a positive lifestyle. One of my favorite things, he taught was how to carry your spare tire in life. He used this teaching to remind readers to always carry their spare tire and be prepared in life. Many of us carry one of our cars but we fail to be ready to deal with the challenges that life throws at us. Joel shared how we need to make a provision in case things don’t go our way. He explained how we need to make important decisions ahead of time that we won’t get offended, get upset, and get sour. He shared how we can remain in peace and keep moving forward. I also liked how he stressed the criticalness of being in control of our own happiness and not to focus on being responsible for others and their happiness. I believe in readers would follow the principles found in this book, it would help them to live in peace and to live their life to the fullest.
