Joel Osteen is a TV star. His show, Lakewood Church, is seen by millions every week. He has appeared on Larry King Live, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. Joel Osteen is a successful author. His first book sold over four million copies. For his next book, he has secured the largest advance for a nonfiction book to date—thirteen million dollars. And to top it all off, Joel Osteen is a nice guy— a really, really nice guy. I’ve been watching, reading, and listening to Joel for three years now. As far as I can tell, the smiling, soft-spoken, sweethearted Joel isn’t just acting nice. He really is nice.
