Faith has always been the heartbeat of the Osteen family. For decades, Dodie Osteen, co-founder of Lakewood Church and beloved matriarch, has inspired millions with her testimony of miraculous healing and unwavering trust in God’s Word. Now, in 2025, she joins with her daughter, Lisa Osteen Comes, to release a powerful new resource: “God’s Promises for Your Healing and Life Miracles.”
Set to arrive in early 2025, the book is being described as a guide of hope, encouragement, and biblical truth for those walking through seasons of sickness, hardship, or discouragement. Drawing from Dodie’s personal story of being healed from cancer in the early 1980s — a healing she credits entirely to standing on God’s promises — the book pairs her testimony with Lisa’s insights as a pastor, teacher, and encourager of faith.
“This is not just another devotional,” Lisa shared. “This is a lifeline for people who need to be reminded that God is still the same yesterday, today, and forever. His promises are real, and His Word still brings healing and miracles.”
For Dodie Osteen, the project is deeply personal. Diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1981, she was given only weeks to live. But instead of surrendering to fear, she turned to Scripture, writing down dozens of healing verses and declaring them daily. More than forty years later, Dodie is still alive, still praying for people at Lakewood Church, and still testifying that God’s Word never fails. Her booklet “Healing Scriptures” has been distributed worldwide, becoming one of the most treasured resources for Christians believing for healing.
“God’s Promises for Your Healing and Life Miracles” builds on that legacy, expanding her message for a new generation. Each chapter will include scripture-based encouragement, personal stories of faith, and prayers that can be spoken aloud, inviting readers to actively declare God’s promises over their own lives. Lisa Osteen Comes adds her unique perspective as someone who has walked through challenges herself, including overcoming personal hardship and serving faithfully in ministry. Her voice brings a generational connection, ensuring that the book speaks to both longtime believers and those new to faith.
The release comes at a moment when many around the world are seeking hope in the face of uncertainty. Illness, anxiety, and loss have touched nearly every household in recent years. The Osteen family believes this book will remind readers that healing is not a distant possibility, but a present promise.
“Mom has lived this message,” Lisa explained. “She’s not just writing about healing; she’s a testimony of it. And together, we want people to know that God sees them, hears them, and has miracles waiting for them.”
The announcement has already created excitement among Lakewood’s global community. Online forums and prayer groups are buzzing with anticipation, with many saying they plan to share the book not only for personal encouragement but also as a gift to friends and family in need of hope.
While Dodie’s health has slowed her pace in recent years, her spirit remains vibrant. Those who attend Lakewood’s weekly services often see her in the front rows, hands lifted in worship, still praying over individuals long after the service ends. Her example — a life lived in daily reliance on God — continues to inspire.
In a recent interview, Dodie summed up the heart of the project simply: “I want people to know that God still heals. I’m living proof. And if He did it for me, He can do it for you.”
“God’s Promises for Your Healing and Life Miracles” is more than a book. It is a testimony passed from mother to daughter, and from one generation to the next. It is a reminder that miracles are not relics of the past but part of God’s plan for today. And for every reader who picks it up, it will be an invitation to believe again.
