Live Your Best Life by Oprah Winfrey (2005)

I was given this book as a birthday present last year - my friend absolutely loved it. I however, couldn't get through the first chapter, which was full of 20 year old Christian cliches. But it does speek to people at different levels. Having been a born-again Christian for more that two decades, I wanted and needed material to help me go 'deeper'. My friend, has had her personal relationship with Jesus for not quite five years, so she soaked it up and it was very helpful to her - it met her where she was at. Very enlightening to someone new to the journey of faith.

I wonder if the previous reviewer is referring to a different book--Oprah's book just came out in September 2005, so she couldn't have received it last year for her birthday. Plus, her description doesn't really make sense. Oprah's book is not a Christian book. Possibly she's thinking of Joel Osteen's book, Your Best Life Now...which is indeed a Christian book. Easy to get those two confused because of the similarities of their titles.

Oprah's book is a compilation of inspirational articles from her magazine, O, The Oprah Magazine. It's divided into 3 sections: "Your Personal Best," "Relationships," and "Living in the World." Just wanted to clarify. If you like O, this is the best of the best.
