You Became a Better You in 2008

Publishers Weekly announced 2008's best sellers today. Although they reported that "There was no single title that dominated the top spot," Joel Osteen’s Become a Better You stood out as the hardcover with the longest run and as one of the only two hardcover religion books to have double-digit monthly runs.

It's nice too that he's totally capitalized on the success of the book by repackaging the book as a 90-day devotional.

Maybe it's just his hair, but he seems cheesy. Anyone actually read this so-called best seller? Did you become a better you?

I haven't personally read any Joel Osteen, but my dad strongly recommended him to me awhile back. He was really inspired by his story and how he got to be a preacher/minister. I can't say firsthand, but he seems to have inspired a lot of people...?

Did anyone see him when he was touring?
