The key to changing your life, Meyer says, is changing your thinking。 The mind is the spiritual battlefield and it must be renewed to think thoughts in line with the Word。Meyer draws from two of her previous books, Battlefield of the Mind and Power Thoughts, to create this one。 She encourages us to realize the power we have, the ability to control our thoughts。 Then she gives us the challenge, to actually do so, change our thinking。 Meyer highlights twelve mindsets for us to develop。 She suggests the book could be used as a twelve week study or as a whole year project, concentrating on one mindset each month。 She includes practical suggestions to think about and ones to act upon at the end of each of the twelve chapters describing the mindsets。Meyer writes about fear, being difficult to offend, being present, not worrying, being at peace, and much more。 My favorite chapter was Because I am in Christ I am Content and Emotionally Stable。 What an encouragement to be satisfied with who God made me to be。I highly recommend this book。 How we think is the basis for what we say and do and how we feel。 Meyer gives us the information and tools we need to have our thoughts align with God's truth。I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher。 My comments are an independent and honest review。 。。。more
Violet,
In Powerful Thinking, popular Christian author and speaker Joyce Meyer challenges readers to take a deep look at twelve mindsets。 Each mindset titles a chapter and is expressed as an affirmation (e。g。 ”Mindset One: Because I Am in Christ I Can Do Everything I Need to Do in Life”)。 Meyer uses personal stories, scripture passages, and explanation of those passages to detail what each mindset involves and why it’s important。 The chapters end with a “Think, Then Act” section made up of questions to In Powerful Thinking, popular Christian author and speaker Joyce Meyer challenges readers to take a deep look at twelve mindsets。 Each mindset titles a chapter and is expressed as an affirmation (e。g。 ”Mindset One: Because I Am in Christ I Can Do Everything I Need to Do in Life”)。 Meyer uses personal stories, scripture passages, and explanation of those passages to detail what each mindset involves and why it’s important。 The chapters end with a “Think, Then Act” section made up of questions to use in journaling or group discussion to help the reader apply what they have read to life。 I did not find this book all that different from other books on the thought life that I have read by the same author。 However, familiar truth is still truth and a good reminder。 The chapter in Powerful Thinking that really struck me, judging by the number of highlights I saved, was the mindset “Because I Am in Christ I Am Difficult to Offend。” Notable quotes from that chapter:“As human beings, we tend to be suspicious of others, and we get hurt due to our own imaginations… I encourage you to believe the best about others。 Resist the temptation to question their motives or to think they hurt you deliberately。 Believing the best about people will keep offense and bitterness out of your life and help you stay peaceful and joyful” – Kindle Location 397。
This compact volume is a great introduction to, or review of thought life hygiene for a Christian。 It is inspiring, challenging, and a quick read。 Powerful Thinking will be available for purchase on June 15, 2021。I received Powerful Thinking as a gift from the publisher in return for writing a review。 。。。more
Cover Lover Book Review,
With positivity being my focus word of the year, I’ve been reading more non-fiction affirmative and uplifting spiritual books to feed and encourage my positive thought process。 I’m an optimistic soul in general but being in a worldwide pandemic for the last year and worrying about compromised loved ones and adapting to a topsy turvy world can put a damper on things。 I find Powerful Thinking an uplifting, motivating, and inspiring book。 The advice or guidance found in this little hardback isn’t a With positivity being my focus word of the year, I’ve been reading more non-fiction affirmative and uplifting spiritual books to feed and encourage my positive thought process。 I’m an optimistic soul in general but being in a worldwide pandemic for the last year and worrying about compromised loved ones and adapting to a topsy turvy world can put a damper on things。 I find Powerful Thinking an uplifting, motivating, and inspiring book。 The advice or guidance found in this little hardback isn’t anything new, but the straightforward approach and conversational tone certainly puts your thoughts in a good place。 And that’s powerful。 Renewing our mindset can affect every aspect of our lives, so being understanding, controlled, disciplined, and satisfied can make daily life more rewarding and enjoyable。 And any book that includes the plan of Salvation is a win in my book。Dɪsᴄʟᴏsᴜʀᴇ: I ʀᴇᴄᴇɪᴠᴇᴅ ᴀ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʀʏ ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴏғ ᴛʜɪs ʙᴏᴏᴋ。 Mʏ ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡ ᴡᴀs ɴᴏᴛ ɪɴғʟᴜᴇɴᴄᴇᴅ。 。。。more
Susan Shipe,
I just may be Joyce Meyer's biggest fan! I grew up in the faith going to JM School! She is funny, honest, and a truth-teller。In this pretty little book, it measures 4。5" x 6。5", Joyce shares power thoughts and ideas。 Do you believe that we become what we think? That our thoughts and mindsets have the ability to make people happy, positive, strong, and successful or frustrated, negative, and weak。 Learn how to change you thinking so you can reach your goals and live your dreams。Highly recommended I just may be Joyce Meyer's biggest fan!

Christine,
You can either read it all or take your time and read one chapter a week。 Do you need a pick me up and need to know how God feels about you? This book will help you see that He is all around you。 Joyce does a wonderful job in speaking straight to your heart to gain even more of a wonderful relationship with the Lord。 I would definatley recommend this book
