Following the huge success of his first published work, Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at your Full Potential, the bestselling author has on shelves 3 million copies of his latest work - the highest first printing for a hardcover book in history of publishing house Simon & Schuster. Osteen is currently on a national media tour.
"I don't go in and give you a hundred scriptures in each chapter," said Osteen, answering critics about his book being another self-help book.
"ut it's the principles of God's words," he added, according to Houston's ABC 13.
Like Osteen's first book, Become a Better You is mainly taken from the megachurch pastor's weekly sermons which are positive messages without the traditional teachings of suffering or what critics call the prosperity gospel. Osteen believes his newest work is better than his first, which sold about 5 million copies.
Become a Better You features "7 keys to improving your life every day." Although his first book presented steps to living "Your Best Life Now," he said, "it is important that you do not become stagnant."
"God always wants to increase us, to do more in and through us. He always wants to take us deeper into self-discovery and then wants to raise us to a higher level of living," he writes in his newest book.

There is no life in the 'name it claim it' approach to God!
Sinners need to grasp their wretched state before a Holy and Just God!
Christ taught the [B]love of money is the root of all evil. We are commanded to seek the Kingdom and His Righteousness! Walking in humility as a servant of Yeshua and obtaining eternal life with Him far outshines spending the vapor of time we are given down here striving for cheap trinkets.
Abba, equip us to boldly proclaim the true gospel and counter cheap imitations that offer a message incapable of saving anyone.
