However, the pastor does insist he remains thankful for the abundance of God's blessings within his life. Some of his award winning works including, Your Best Life Now and Every Day a Friday.Osteen is not apologetic for his wealth as the royalties from his books is what has afforded him his lucrative and flashy lifestyle.
