4.0 out of 5 stars 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life, November 18, 2008

This review is from: 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life (Hardcover)

I was impressed with Joyce Meyer's list, and as much as I'd love to do them all right away (or at least most of them), some of them require me to really think and re-program my thought process. Some of my more favored items from the list are: #1 Do One Thing at a Time, #6 Let Go of What Lies Behind You, #7 Learn How to Say No, #18 Establish Boundaries, #69 Be Realistic in Your Expectations, #87 Beware of Distractions, etc. I could go on and on. Many of the items on the list apply to me in one way or another.

Each section is only a few pages long, and it contains an inspirational saying, and a passage from the Bible. Joyce also uses some examples from life to help the reader understand how to apply the item to their own life.

This was a nice and helpful book that will need to remain on my nightstand for quite a while as I try to work through some of the items on the list that are more meaningful to me at this time.

These are not outlandish ideas, but rather things that occur regularly in life that when added together or tackled separately (you really don't need to tackle all 100 items at once! I'm going to start with two or three and do them well prior to adding more.) will help to create a simpler life. I would encourage you to pick up this book and read through it yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Old advice repackaged with Scripture by Christian leader, November 19, 2008

By 

Christina Lockstein "Christy's Book Blog" (Oconto Falls, WI USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life (Hardcover)

100 Ways to Simplify Your Life by Joyce Meyer is Meyer's newest entry to help Christians find their way. Each of the 100 chapters are short, just a page or so, and easy reading. They are headed by a quote from a usually secular source followed by a verse from Scripture applying to the topic. From cutting down on clutter to throwing away junk mail to saying no to excessive responsibilities, the advice in this book has been given before. There's not a lot new in Meyer's advice, but by combining it with Scripture and personal anecdote, she gives even trifling things a Biblical basis.Meyer speaks with profound confidence on every matter. If you read a lot of self-help books, this won't be of much help, but if you've never picked up one before, this may just be the one to get you jumpstarted on simplifying your life. These short chapters do make for easy reading, and Meyer's solid tips are worthwhile.

This review is from: 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life (Hardcover)

In "100 Ways to Simplify Your Life", Joyce Meyer presents 100 bits of terrific unsolicited advice that we all need to receive. Each of these 100 short chapters begins with an insightful quote and pertinent scripture verse (that I recommend the reader memorize) which reinforces the advice that Joyce Meyer gives. Her fine writing rounds out each topic to give the reader a completely though-provoking and Bible-based experience.
