If My Heart Could Talk: A Memoir of Family, Faith, and Miracles

As the wife of forty-four years to the late Pastor John Osteen, founder of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, Dodie stood strongly as a wife, mother, and first lady of the church, even when life felt anything but steady. Now, she continues to stand behind her son, Pastor Joel Osteen, and the rest of their family as they lead Lakewood Church, the largest church in America.

In her memoir, IF MY HEART COULD TALK, Dodie will reflect on her life experiences, recounting her journey and offering the reader meaningful lessons applicable to their own lives. She will give readers an intimate look inside life-altering experiences including contracting polio as a child, marrying a pastor, experiencing enormous church growth, raising five children, battling cancer, losing her husband, and afterward, resolving to continue living the life she was destined for.
