If My Heart Could Talk

A Story of Family, Faith, and Miracles

By: Dodie Osteen, Joel Osteen - introduction

Narrated by: Dodie Osteen

Dodie Osteen, mother of Joel Osteen, gives readers a personal account of her extraordinary life and shares what she has learned about love, faith, and family.

As the wife of forty-four years to the late Pastor John Osteen, founder of Lakewood Church, Dodie Osteen stood as a wife, mother, and first lady of the church, even when life felt anything but steady. Today, she continues to stand by her son, Pastor Joel Osteen, and the rest of their family as they lead Lakewood. In this revealing memoir, Dodie shares that her path, though glorious, has not always been easy. She shows an intimate look at such life-altering experiences as contracting polio as a child, raising 5 children, battling cancer, and losing her husband, all with the beautiful heart and sense of humor she displays to thousands at Lakewood and nationwide at Night of Hope events. While recounting her journey, Dodie offers readers meaningful life lessons applicable to their own lives.

I LOVED this book and was so blessed by hearing it in Dodie's own voice. Thank you for having the courage to share such intimate details about you and your family's challenges and miracles! I truly feel as though you are an extension of my own family (Christian Family). I watch Joel & now Victoria every morning and am so blessed by what John started so long ago. It was nice to get to know more about John and all of you. Your entire family is so inspirational and bring a bright light into our troubled world. Please keep it up and do not grow weary in doing good.
