This little book was direct and honest in Joyce's typical style. She has great personal examples and Scriptures to illustrate her points. It's not a lengthy book, yet each page is powerful. Amazing job once again!

An awesome little book about the causes of the root of rejection, what manifests in our life as a result, how to break free and how to help others.

Good As Always

Joyce is a blessing. An uplifter, encourager and a vessel used by The Holy Spirit to convict our hearts and inspire us in love to run to Jesus.

I enjoyed being encouraged and lead to freedom!

Good things come in small packages. A real blockbuster.

Melhores trechos: "...Você pode realmente rejeitar-se porque alguém mais o rejeitou, e então se torna cheio de confusão e tormento interior. A sua 'árvore' começa a carregar frutos ruins da depressão, do negativismo, da falta de autoconfiança, da ira, da hostilidade, do espírito controlador, da crítica, do melindre, do ódio e da autopiedade. Raízes determinam frutos! Frutos podres vêm de raízes podres, e frutos bons vêm de raízes boas. Se você está enraizado na aceitação e no amor, então desenvolverá boas coisas em sua vida; coisas como domínio próprio, mansidão, fidelidade, bondade, benignidade, paciência, paz, alegria e amor...
Lembre-se sempre de checar sua percepção quando você se sentir rejeitado. Apenas porque se sente rejeitado ou percebe rejeição numa situação não significa que esteja sendo realmente rejeitado. Isso pode ser resultado de problemas do passado, e, se é assim, é tempo de receber a cura...
A dor da rejeição emocional vai além do nosso raciocínio. Ela ultrapassa nosso pensamento racional...
Você deve aprender a separar suas opiniões e idéias do seu 'eu' real. Apenas porque as pessoas rejeitam sua opinião não significa que elas o rejeitam! Elas podem discordar de você e ainda amá-lo e respeitá-lo como pessoa. Você deve dar às pessoas a oportunidade de discordar, ou não haverá base para um bom relacionamento. Eu quero dizer que o equilíbrio nessa área é muito importante. Algumas pessoas dão sua opinião, muito freqüentemente, em momentos que não são necessários. Não temos o direito de dar ao mundo inteiro nossa opinião cada vez que abrirmos a boca. Isso também não é bom para relacionamentos! O equilíbrio é vital em cada área. Pessoas com raiz de rejeição geralmente não podem ser confrontadas...
A maioria das pessoas com raiz de rejeição sofre insuportavelmente com o problema do perfeccionismo...
A definição bíblica de perfeição é crescer até a completa maturidade. Isso não significa que neste exato momento você não poderá fazer nada errado!...
Servimos ao Perfeito, e Ele está intercedendo por nós neste exato momento. Jesus está sentado à direita do Pai, orando por mim enquanto escrevo este livro, para que cada coisa imperfeita que eu faça possa funcionar perfeitamente...
Tentamos dar aos outros aquilo que queremos...
Uma pessoa firmada na rejeição não pode compreender como alguém que ela ama rejeita seu consolo, porque, se alguém pudesse confortá-la, ela ficaria deliciada! Você está tentando dar às pessoas aquilo de que você precisa e sentindo-se rejeitado se elas não o recebem? Quando compro um presente para alguém, percebo que gostaria de comprar-lhes algo de que eu gosto. Mas agora venho tentando pensar naquilo que elas realmente gostariam de ganhar...
A maioria das pessoas foi criada por pais que, embora fizessem o melhor que sabiam, já tinham uma raiz de rejeição em sua própria vida. Eles não sabiam outra coisa a não ser passar isso para seus filhos. A maioria das pessoas nem sabe como separar aquilo que alguém 'é' daquilo que essa pessoa 'faz'...
Assim como crê em Deus para a proteção física de forma constante, você pode começar a crer n'Ele para protegê-lo emocionalmente. Não espere até ser ferido ou abalado para começar a crer. Creia em Deus para a proteção emocional de forma constante. Cada dia, quando você estiver entre as pessoas, pode dizer: 'Deus, creio no Senhor para me proteger; emocionalmente. Não vou mais construir muros! Confio no Senhor para me proteger da rejeição emocional!' Se confiarmos em Deus, em vez de vivermos com medo, não seremos devastados pela rejeição. Mesmo quando ela vier, não seremos duramente afetados por ela. Não continue com todos esses muros erguidos..."

The Root of Rejection is one of Joyce Meyer’s shorter reads, yet it jammed packed full of spiritual wisdom. Joyce is very precise and to the point with this read-only being 108 pages long. While it is a short read, it took me a rather long time to read. Throughout this book, you will find yourself looking back at the past and connecting the dots of why things are the way they are. This book can be used as a tool to start your journey towards healing and ultimate freedom.

One thing I admire about Joyce is here level of transparency in her books. She is unashamed of her testimony and her faults which help you be authentic about where you are in your walk. The Root of Rejection will help those who take rejection to heart and do not know why. We all deal with rejection in some shape or form. However, some of us like Joyce and myself because of abuse harbored the hurt and rejection personally. Which later began to spew out in our everyday relationships.

Throughout The Root of Rejection, supplemented with prayer and bible study with the Father, I have been brought to a new place of freedom. If I am rejected, Holy Spirit sends me gentle reminders of what I have learned from this book and the scripture Joyce provided to apply to your life.

I ultimately give this book a 4 out of 5. I normally love Joyce’s books! The Root of Rejection was very knowledgeable and full of wisdom. However, it is a very dry and slow read. I DO recommend this book to anyone who takes rejection personally.

Highly recommended to read this book

This book is like a mirror reflecting the inner being, its workings and battles when rejection is at the root.
I would recommend reading as it's a book that shows that your not alone in this, there is hope for healing and freedom.
The author gives of her own journey through her healing, God's love for us and examples of scripture too.
Very helpful, encouraging and a great place to start on this healing journey

Its like a hug from God with every chapter. It's helping my me work the th a very tough time in my life. I read a chapter said on my lunch. Some days I didn't want to read thinking there would be nothing for me to hear and I was wrong every single time. Thank you Joyce

Very eye opening! Very informative!

I would definitely recommend this anyone that is experiencing the spirit of rejection. I will help u to understand that it was lie told by the devil himself!

[Caden Schlechter · Rating 4 out of 5]

really small book that’s straight forward about rejection and how to overcome it in Christ. Some small things that she said were questionable but overall this book led me to repentance in areas I knew I experienced rejection but never thought about. Thank You, Lord!

[Vanessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Powerfully anointed book

I was recommended this book and words can’t describe how much it has blessed me. If you struggle with rejection & abandonment trauma, READ THIS BOOK and allow Jesus to set you free!

[Mary Ladrick · Rating 5 out of 5]
