More About This Book

Overview

The title comes from research that shows people are happiest on Fridays. Pastor Joel Osteen writes how we can generate this level of contentment and joy every day of the week.
Known as a man who maintains a constant positive outlook in spite of circumstances, Osteen has described this message as a core theme of his ministry. Combining his personal experiences with scriptural insights and principles for true happiness, he shows readers how every day can hold the same promise and opportunities for pure joy that they experience at five o'clock on Friday.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

The latest bestseller from Joel Osteen, who believes that the elation that most people feel only after finishing their workweek can be experienced every day of the year if we authentically apply scriptural insights to every part of our lives. Pure, cathartic inspiration.

— Jane Love

Interviews & Essays

Getting Back to Where We Started

I find it interesting that as children, we start off naturally happy, full of laughter and enthusiasm. Problems don't keep us down. Worries don't keep us up at night. A little child can be crying at the top of their lungs over something, and five minutes later, they've totally forgotten about it. They're just happy and laughing again. Children aren't just "living for the weekend." In fact, I've never seen a toddler walking around with bitterness and unforgiveness. I've never seen them holding a grudge. I've never seen a four-year-old worried about his future, thinking he's not going to make it. No, children are happy and hopeful. They enjoy the simple things in life. They forgive quickly. They're excited about each and every day.

That excitement is what God has placed on the inside of every person. We were designed to celebrate each day. But so often, the older we get, the more we allow the challenges of life to push us down and dampen our spirits. If we are going to get back to where we started, we have to begin to realize that every day is truly a gift from God. Once this day is gone, we can never get it back.

One thing I've learned is that happiness is a choice. When you wake up in the morning, you can choose what kind of day you're going to have. You can choose to live this day happy, excited, and expecting God's goodness; or you can choose to be irritable and sour and just try to make it through. The way you live your life is totally up to you.

Abraham Lincoln said, "Most people are as happy as they've decided to be," and I believe that is true. That's why I wrote my new book, Every Day A Friday. Instead of living for Fridays, I want to help people learn how to embrace each new day with the same excitement and enthusiasm as they had when they came into this world. Remember, we only get one shot at today. Let's choose to enjoy it and make the most out of every moment we are given in this life!

    Great book

    I loved this book. I had never heard of joel osteen so i had no preconceived ideas. It was very inspirational and i picked it up during a very difficult time in my life. I think we need more books like this that can help people regain their faith in god and to believe in a good and forgiving god. We need to start focusing on how we can change for the better and become happier people. If you need to be built up. Read this book.

    Joel is a man of God

    I enjoy his sermons, I listen to his podcasts and receive devotionals daily. It helped me through my season of hardships by encouraging me with Scriptures from the Bible and words of Life! His gifts are from the Lord and be of good cheer, God does want us to have a great life! Read your Bible and see! People who say God doesn't want us to enjoy our lives are practicing religion other than Christianity!

    Another Amazing Book From Joel

    There is no mystery as to why people, like me, are drawn to Joel Osteen. He is an amazing man and in his weekly broadcasts has the power to do what so many other try but fail to do. He uplifts the lives for those that care to listen to his words. This book is an extension of that. Thank you Joel for another great book. I'd also recommend "When God Stopped Keeping Score" which takes an uplifting look at the power of forgiveness.

    Have faith and feeling good

    I grew up in church but havent been in years. Joel is an amazing source of inspiration and brings a bright outlook to life. I may not attend a service weekly or even yearly but faith is something you never lose! I always remember my faith and Joel Olsten i do not find to be preachy but good old feel good have faith and believe in the higher power. For the people who bash him, MOVE ON! There are many authors out there find a different one.

    Believe In God or Not

    Whether u blieve in god or not is not important. Its how u live and interpret things. If u guide your mind toward positive or negative, thats when it has affect on how your life pretty much. This book has too much gossip but has some very important tips to train your mind to think positive if you're willing. Over all its worth reading.

    Very Inspiring!

    I have to admit, I was skeptical to read this book. From Page 1, I couldn't put it down. He gives you so much insight on many different area's in your life without getting "Preachy." Would recommend to anyone who wants a postive book to read.

    Not Just To Be Read, But Applied

    Being a fan of Joel Osteen, I was pleasantly pleased that this was written in his own words, with a style that only he possesses. His teachings are simple, yet eloquent. His anecdotes bring home the message he is trying to convey. Excellent book filled with constant messages to live by.
