Joyce Meyer is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the world's leading Bible teachers. Through Joyce Meyer Ministries, she teaches practically and candidly, openly sharing her experiences and helping millions of people to apply biblical principles to their situations and ultimately find hope and restoration through Jesus Christ. Her book Battlefield of the Mind has been a perennial bestseller, teaching people how to win the war in their minds and “think about what they think about.”

Joyce’s Enjoying Everyday Life program is broadcast to millions worldwide in 114 languages. She has also authored over 150 books, which have been translated into over 170 combined languages, including Battlefield of the Mind, which has sold over 7 million copies across the globe. We’ve also distributed over 43.5 million books around the world.

A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Joyce discovered how to overcome the emotional pain of her troubled past and experience true joy, hope, and healing by applying God’s Word to her life. Her passion is to help others do the same. For more than 40 years, Joyce has held conferences across the United States and around the world, teaching God’s Word and sharing the message of Christ with millions. Joyce also encourages millions each day through social media and online efforts and resources at joycemeyer.org

Joyce’s passion to help people who are hurting is the foundation of Hand of Hope, the missions arm of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Each year, Hand of Hope provides millions of meals for the hungry and malnourished, installs freshwater wells in poor and remote areas, provides critical relief after natural disasters, and offers free medical and dental care to thousands through their hospitals and clinics worldwide. Through their Project GRL initiative, they rescue women and children from human trafficking, provide safe places where they can receive an education and nutritious meals, and seek to let all girls everywhere know they are loved and valued by God.

In 2023, Joyce founded Hope Mountain Ranch, an 800-acre refuge in Mount Pleasant, Utah. Inspired by her own personal journey, Hope Mountain Ranch is a place where people can experience the transformative power of God and find hope and healing. It also serves as the hub for Joyce Meyer Ministries’ outreaches across the United States.

At times we don't realize that our words have power. We can use it to build or destroy us and others. I have found that confessing the word of God has brought major breakthrough in my life. Major part of the book has bible verses categorized for example "encouragement and comfort" . We can confess it when we feel like we lack it and so on. This is a book we can use everyday to have a victorious life.

"When we confess God's word out loud, the angels hear it and go to work for us,' says Joyce Meyer in the introduction to this useful little book. "The angels are not activated by out complaining, murmuring, doubting and unbelief."

Anyone at all familiar with Joyce Meyer and her daily television program and her writings, knows that she preaches that Christianity is truly a gospel of good news and that God wants us to be happy and enjoy our lives.

This book has over 200 pages of scriptures categorized by topic, that, according to Joyce Meyer, will help reset our thinking to good an positive things as we speak them aloud.

There is actually some psychological basis for what Joyce says, since some therapists teach their patients to recognized negative, self-defeating thoughts and replace those thoughts with positive, affirming ones. What better positive, affirming thoughts and words can be found than those in the scriptures!?!

Having read the book once all the way through, I will not keep it handy and use it to replace negative, defeating thoughts with positive, uplifting ones.

Even though I am removing this book from my currently reading shelf, I will continue to read it as often I can. It's nice to have the Bible verses I need at my fingertips. The way the book is sorted according to topic makes it very easy to find just the right verses and claim them for oneself. It also shows how God's word can be applied to one's life. So practical. I highly recommended it to all!

Praying the Amplified Version is superfluous. Better to see what Joyce has to say in this book and then look it up in another version.

This isn't the type of book, for some of us, to read word for word but to look up different areas as needed in the table of contents and then go to the page specified.

This is a great little prayer book. I refer to it often because no matter what I want to pray about, there are scripture references in here for it and often the most powerful prayers are the ones straight out of scripture.

Awesome use as a study toil. It is small and portable and handy. I enjoy that Joyce has collected hundreds of scriptures to help you speak God's word easily over your life. This was a birthday gift and I love it

I love this little book. It fits in my purse and I carry it with me at all times. It's great to read while you are waiting in the doctor's office. I have used it for more times then I can count whenever I need to be lifted up. This is a must for anyone that reads the bible.

I love this little book! It is great as a topical reference for areas that you are having problems with on a particular day. I have "flagged" mine with little labels for quick and easy reference to the topics. I use this in morning devotions with my son, often.

This is a reference book to scriptures that apply to just about every emotion. Rather than dwelling on your fear, open this book and see what the Bible says about fear. I keep it ON HAND.

very good addition to my current bible study. It's important to speak God's word out loud. Faith comes by hearing and wonders hearing by the word of God.
