Rate this book
Joyce guides readers to making the most important decision they will ever make. Beginning with the decision to accept Christ, Joyce explains the life-changing impact that comes from knowing God in the most personal way possible. She walks readers through what makes everyone unique creations as a tri-part being--spirit, soul, and body--and how God relates to them in all three areas. Joyce demonstrates the importance of each part aligning to serve God fully and helps readers avoid pitfalls that keep them from being their best.
Joyce breaks the book into sections covering each of the parts that make up human beings and explains in great detail the various challenges faced in becoming healthy in those areas and how to anticipate and overcome those obstacles. With brief chapters that each cover a clear and concise thought this book is very reader friendly and accessible.
Joyce's unique style shines through and delivers her core message of the importance of an intimate relationship with God and the many-fold ways that will change lives.

I always enjoy Joyce Meyer's practical approach to being a Christian in the real world! Ever wonder why you're so miserable and life seems such a drudge as a believer? Well, take a look at "joy stealers" such as works of the flesh, unforgiveness, excessive reasoning, habitual discontentment, just to name a few. In each chapter she also discusses how to find joy again in that particular area of life. Personally, I found the info to be very thought provoking and challenging.
JOY is so much deeper than mere happiness and is not dependent on good circumstances. Joy can be found and lived out in the midst of some really hard stuff; but it's a choice and a mindset. See, much food for thought and change of mind and heart attitude! That's what I enjoyed AND fund challenging about this book!

Very good basic review on how to become a Christian and then how to take care of yourself in spirit, soul and body. At times it did seem a little repetitive but it is very practical.

It provided concrete steps for those seeking to expand or begin a more spiritual life. It was presented in an easy to follow format. A little familiarity with some of her other books for the personal stories, and bible study would increase the impact. Overall, it is a book I have found useful.
