Joel Osteen is a little bit of a mystery to me. He claims to be a Minister of God's word but he comes across to me as a motivational speaker. He presents himself well and his messages are uplifting but I don't suggest taking him as a religious authority.

Olsteen is a false teacher leading the sheep astray in the fields. I haven't read his books and don't care to, but I'm going to take a guess that there is very little reference to Christ in his books and there probably isn't the gospel message presented.
Name it claim it is an absurd ideology. It breeds covetness, which is a sin. YOu want a car like you're neighbor's car? How bad do you want it? You covet your neighbor's car. When we have sin in our lives there are negative consequences, so it follows that even if you get all the things you covet, cars, money, house, etc, you are going to be unhappy because you will be living in a big huge unrepented sin.

He is from my current town Houston, I met him at his Lakewood Church. He does have a very sweet charming way, and possibly a good heart. But I do believe that he likes MONEY too, which is OK, as long as he shares it and realizes that it all can't fit in his pockets.

well I think the diff betweenother "name it and claim it"preachers are he never asks for money. His whole show is his message. All the others nmay be on for 30 min and i5 of them is asking for money. I think he prob brings many to the Lord, lets let the Lord decide
