It is my humble opinion that Joyce Meyer's teaching will grow you up in your faith with raw honesty and truth。 In this book Joyce shares 50 days of defeating the things that try to defeat you。 These are common， everyday obstacles we all have faced， are facing， or will face sooner of later。 Each of the 50 chapters end with "things to think about。" Highly recommended for those who want to grow in Christ and overcome the obstacles that easily beset us。 It is my humble opinion that Joyce Meyer's teaching will grow you up in your faith with raw honesty and truth。 In this book Joyce shares 50 days of defeating the things that try to defeat you。 These are common， everyday obstacles we all have faced， are facing， or will face sooner of later。 Each of the 50 chapters end with "things to think about。" Highly recommended for those who want to grow in Christ and overcome the obstacles that easily beset us。 。。。more

Meyer is a go-to author for me， so I was excited to check out her latest release。 She never fails to provide encouragement。 In this book， she focuses on Paul's messages and how his life is an example of how we can have more joy in our lives。Chapters are short。 They start with a focus verse（or verses） and contain a short devotion then two reflection questions。Some chapters include:- Knowing Who You Are in Christ- How to Receive God's Blessings- Rejoice in the Lord- Choose Thoughts That Lead to Jo Meyer is a go-to author for me， so I was excited to check out her latest release。 She never fails to provide encouragement。 In this book， she focuses on Paul's messages and how his life is an example of how we can have more joy in our lives。Chapters are short。 They start with a focus verse（or verses） and contain a short devotion then two reflection questions。Some chapters include:- Knowing Who You Are in Christ- How to Receive God's Blessings- Rejoice in the Lord- Choose Thoughts That Lead to Joy- Deeply Rooted in God's LoveSome of my favorite quotes:- "To me， grace is God's freely given， underserved favor and power that enables us to do with ease what we could never do on our own with any amount of struggle or self-effort。"- "Joy is not determined by circumstances。 It is a gift from God， and it follows a life of grace and peace。"Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy， but I wasn't required to leave a positive review。 。。。more

Meyer provides fifty days of readings on joy。 These are not fluffy devotions nor sweet stories。 While joy is a fruit of the Spirit， Meyer reminds us it comes through love and self-discipline。I like how she distinguishes joy and happiness。 I like her saying joy is not getting what we want。 She has found that life's greatest joy comes from helping others。 We are never promised a trouble free life yet can have joy in the midst of our circumstances。 Paul did not say we are to rejoice in our circumst Meyer provides fifty days of readings on joy。 These are not fluffy devotions nor sweet stories。 While joy is a fruit of the Spirit， Meyer reminds us it comes through love and self-discipline。I like how she distinguishes joy and happiness。 I like her saying joy is not getting what we want。 She has found that life's greatest joy comes from helping others。 We are never promised a trouble free life yet can have joy in the midst of our circumstances。 Paul did not say we are to rejoice in our circumstances， Meyer writes， but rather we are to rejoice in the Lord at all times。 （663/2182）Other insights about joy include avoiding arguments， forgiving， thinking about godly things， letting go of the past， and remembering that God has given us everything we need to have a wonderful day。 （249/2182）I had to laugh at one devotion because Meyer reveals the error of taking a verse out of context。 “No one has seen or imagined，” she writes， “all the good things that 'God has prepared for those who love him' （1 Corinthians 2:9）” （491/2182） The next verse says those very things “are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit。” Oops。This is a good collection of teachings on joy， receiving it and sustaining it。 Most of the devotions are like brief Bible studies。 Meyer adds a couple of questions at the end of each devotion for further thought。I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher。 My comments are an independent and honest review。 。。。more
