I'd like to see his income from that church. I'd bet it's in 7 figures with loads of benefits. He is a fleecer of the flock!

Joel Osteen has declined to take a salary (last reported at $200,000) from Lakewood, due to the success of his best selling book, "Your Best Life Now". (Rick Warren also does not take a salary from his church due to successful book sales.)

Geeeee...lesseee...the book is sold at tables before/after each service at the church, he talks about it to the Congregation...advertises it in the Church publications that go out to tens of thousands nationwide, and on TV..

oh yeah, how truly selfless of him...I guess I was wrong - he gets nothing from his preaching, nothing, not a penny, no sireeeee!!!
