Set aside the frustrations of your past and step into a new level of victory and favor with this spiritually powerful guide from #1 bestselling author and Lakewood Church pastor Joel Osteen. We all have things that are trying to hold us back: guilt from past mistakes, temptations that we can''t seem to overcome, or dysfunctions that have been passed down. It''s easy to learn to live with these problems and accept them as who we are. We can all find a reason to live like we''re at a disadvantage and become negative and bitter-we came down with an illness, somebody walked out of a relationship, our boss overlooked us. But we have to say, "I''m done making excuses. I''m not going to let the past keep me from moving forward and benefitting from the good things God has in store." It is time to say, "It is finished." In Next Level Thinking, Joel Osteen writes that we weren''t created to go through life weighed down by addictions, dysfunction, guilt, or the past. God created us to be free. Joel encourages readers to leave behind the negative mindsets, the scarcity mentality, and the limitations others have put on us, and shows us how to step into new levels of victory, new levels of favor.

During the course of his 60-year ministry, John Osteen combined an extraordinary love for people with a vision for ministry best described in his own words: "No limits." In this hardcover volume not only includes content from John''s sermon transcripts, but also a foreword and commentary written by his son, Joel; the principles of this "no limits" faith come alive again for a new generation. For the moments of struggle and temptation that every man faces, and the times in life when he feels surrounded and under attack, John''s message is profoundly simple-those moments are precisely the time for an unwavering faith. In this book, John schools today''s believers in seven qualities of unwavering faith: 1. It hears and sees what the world cannot see or hear. 2. It prays earnestly even though it has already heard the answer. 3. It is strong when there is no evidence of the answer. 4. It always says, "Go Again!" 5. It goes on when there''s just a little evidence. 6. It believes for the big when it sees the little. 7. It begins with nothing but ends up doing mighty things for God. Osteen also provides principles for those times when faith doesn''t seem to be working. Becoming a Man of Understanding Faith is a guidebook to stronger faith, from a man who spent a lifetime testing its limits.

"Joel Osteen ... invites you to set aside the shortcomings of your past and step into a new level of victory and favor. Many of us have let our minds become conditioned to thinking we''ve reached our limits, we''ve made too many mistakes, we''ll never do anything great. What''s happened? Instead of moving forward, we''ve adapted to our environment. Instead of pushing beyond our bounds, we''ve allowed a bad break, how we were raised, living with insecurity, or what someone did or didn''t do to hold us back. The good news is that people don''t determine our destiny--God does. And He has already taken into account every detail of our lives and factored them all into His plan. In his new book, Next Level Thinking, Joel Osteen writes that we weren''t created to go through life weighed down by the past. God has destined us to rise higher--to the next level. When we leave behind the negative mind-sets, the scarcity mentality, and the limits others have put on us, we''ll experience the life of victory, favor, and abundance that was meant for us all along."--Jacket
