Joel Osteen, Fortune Cookie Author

Last week, while looking for Mother's Day cards, I noticed that there was a section of them produced by Joel Osteen. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Osteen's feel-good message suits Mother's Day almost too well to pass up the opportunity.

As Tim Challies notes in a post today though, Osteen might have missed his calling with greeting cards. Perhaps his talents are more suited to fortune cookies. Challies has a quiz to see if you can tell the difference between fortunes out of cookies and quotes out of Osteen's books.

Among them you will find...

  • "Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it."
  • "You have something to offer that nobody else can give!"
  • "Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant."

Click here to see how well you do on the quiz!
