A copy of this book was given to me through Netgalley.com. All opinions are my own.

years now and have enjoyed his podcasts and books. This was my first time reading a book by his wife, Victoria who is co-pastor, and she is just as positive, inspirational, and uplifting . I thoroughly enjoyed every word and loved all of her real-life stories. I look forward to reading more books by Victoria. .

While I have heard of Joel Osteen, this is the first book I ever came across by his wife. I found her very open, personal way of writing and sharing her own experiences to be very helpful. The book is filled with good advice and encouraging words to live in a way that fully trusts God. He wants His children to have hope and a future.

Of the seven ways she suggests to live encouraged, empowered and intentional, I found the idea that we sabotage ourselves when our thoughts are full of self-putdowns to be something that really needs to change in my life. I do this, and I am sure others do to. The thought that we are self-prophesying things that aren’t good for us was an eye-opener.

This book is one I will highly recommend. I also noticed that there is a study guide on the market to go along with the book.

Victoria Osteen and her husband, Joel Osteen are inspiring and influential leaders in faith. They live through God’s teachings and share their knowledge to help others find their way. In this book, Victoria provides examples through her own experiences as well as others to help guide you to your own personal best. With bible verses and inspiring stories the reader is given faith and confidence in their own abilities to reach their own personal best. 4/5 stars.

This was an inspiration book and one I would recommend to others. Very uplifting and look forward to reading more from Victoria Osteen in the future.

This is a very encouraging book. Osteen shares seven practices she does to keep her moving in her exceptional self. When applied, she says, these practices will keep us encouraged, empowered, and inspired along the way. She includes Bible stories and personal stories to illustrate the practices.

I like her practices. They are firmly rooted in the Bible and are very positive. Osteen begins with our affirming we a chosen by God. He knows us, all of us, and loves us. That is a good practice for battling those thoughts of not being loved or not being good enough. Osteen also reminds us that God has plans for us. We have potential but we must say “yes” to what God has for us.

I like Osteen's emphasis on our thoughts. We need to pay attention to them and learn how to encourage ourselves. We cannot rely on someone else. We must also know where we are to focus our thoughts, reminding ourselves of God's blessings and the good memories we have.

I like Osteen's call to positive action. One of her practices is to be sure to bless a person every day. And a practice that surprised me was to appreciate what we have right now. Sometimes we are so focused on what we are expecting God to do in our lives we miss what He is doing right now.

This is an encouraging book for women in general. It might appeal more to upper middle class women since Osteen includes stories of successful and wealthy people. Women in lower economic situations might be a bit intimidated.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

Once again this anointed author has captured you with words of encouragement. I was particularly drawn to the constant reminder, that You - (We), are already “Exceptional”, through the love of God.
The true life stories were so relatable. Victoria’s simply and straight forward teachings, coupled with the Exceptional Tips/Thoughts kept the message clear.
I highly recommend this easy read. May I suggest you purchase extra copies for family and friends.

I was able to read Exceptional You by Victoria Osteen for free from Netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book helps us to know that we are God's children and we are all loved. We need to learn and remember that Life is not about the finish line but about the journey. Staying positive, being optimistic, looking at all our options and ensuring to take the route in which we will succeed. We all have the ability to define our own success. Do your best as your best is always good enough.

As a Christian I have a great deal of respect for the Osteen Ministries and have found them to provide great spiritual teaching and comfort over the years. This new book by Victoria Osteen shows us how to be exceptional, how to believe in God's plan and provides Biblical teachings that both uplift our spirits and are sensible for applying to our everyday lives. I appreciate the positive message that we are valued and matter to God. Even a non believer can gain wisdom from this book. I love that I feel uplifted and valued as I read her books and recognize how I can be a better and wiser Christian through believing in myself and the work God does in me. This is a must read for all Christians and a great book to refer to often for Biblical knowledge. This would make a wonderful gift for your Christian family and friends.
