Joel Osteen, Super Preacher

Many have criticized Joel Osteen, the well-known pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. They are upset because Joel preaches a ‘good news’ gospel, because he helps people to feel good about God, because he gives them hope.

John Harricharan Videos

Are you familiar with John Harricharan? He’s the author of such books as “Power Pause,” “When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat,” and “Morning Has Been All Night Coming.”

He’s also a person that is very interested in spirituality and personal transformation.

Recently, he has teamed up with A. Vishwanath (who refers to himself as Vish-Writer) and created the website, Spiritual-Simplicity.com.

They also have a blog on which they have posted some thought-provoking videos. I urge you to visit and watch the one where Yanik Silver interviews John, but you’ll benefit by watching all of them.
