GOOD Magazine has a great article about Joel Osteen called God, Without the Fuss. If you don’t know anything about Osteen or the Prosperity Gospel (and even if you do), this is an informative and engaging read. “It’s the Bless-Me Club. It is self-help, and that kind of message plays very well in America. It’s the opposite of the message of salvation, which is that you are saved by grace from God.”
