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's always hard to change your way of thinking,especially when it seems like the whole world is against you.This book gives you sound advice with biblical background so that you may succed.My suggestion is that you take your time reading this and take the necessary steps to your new beginning.

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.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
