Joyce Meyer explains that a life without purpose is a life not worth living. We all need a reason to get up everyday. We all need to reach for something beyond ourselves. Over the centuries, millions of people have asked, "What am I here for? What is my purpose?" We are born; we live; and we die. We cannot do anything about being born or dying, but we can do a lot about how we live. Download the free Joyce Meyer author app.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Christian television personality and bestselling author Meyer (Battlefield of the Mind; Approval Addiction) turns her prolific pen to living life with passion. It's time to take action and make your life count, she says. In typical Meyer fashion, she spends the rest of the book informing readers how to do just that: Make a decision to be an excellent person; If you really cannot stand your life, then do something about it; and Make up your mind regarding what you believe, have God's words to back it up, and don't ever back down. She first describes how passion and purpose work together, then provides directives on how to pursue that passion with purpose, particularly in areas such as spirit, mind, emotions, finances and the physical body. Declarative sentences that get right to the point are a Meyer trademark, and fans won't be disappointed here. Pithy pull-out aphorisms and I Dare You sidebars help readers break down the concrete steps of dreaming big. Meyer's message is sound, if unoriginal—Let's be determined to fulfill our purpose—and her method stern yet loving. Fans will enjoy this enthusiastic manual for Christian living. (Sept. 4)

Forget the headphones. Share this one with your friends. (Myshelf.com )
Praise for LOOK GREAT, FEEL GREAT: "Even though Meyer suggests the audiobook be used as a program, the blend of anecdotes, humor, practicality and details of the body's workings make for enjoyable listening on its own." (Publishers Weekly )
"Joyce Meyer's message is unoriginal, but sound, and listeners won't be disappointed listeing to these five CD's with a total listening time of six hours. I listened on a recent road trip. The message is good- but the reader sounds rather harsh, making already blunt, sometimes harsh, statements even more so."....

Sound advice to listen to,
By Armchair Interviews (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Dare You: Embrace Life with Passion (Hardcover)
(6 CD set--also available in hardcover book)Joyce Meyer dares you to live a life with purpose. She tells us that we all need a reason to get up everyday, we need a dream to strive for, a goal to reach. If we don't have that passion we're working toward, then we get depressed and don't have any reason go on. With stories and illustrations from her own life and those she knows, she shows us that even something as simple as baking cookies and giving them away to others can lift us from the pit of depression and make our lives worth living. Joyce Meyer says that now is the time to take action and make your life count. You need to sit back and discover why you are here. Ask God what your gifts are, and use them. If you are a teacher, teach. If you are an encourager, encourage. And if you do this then you will develop a passion for your life and will be able to direct that passion to the other areas of your life such as spirit, mind, emotions, finances, and the physical. Joyce Meyer's message is unoriginal, but sound, and listeners won't be disappointed listening to these five CDs with a total listening time of six hours. I listened on a recent road trip. The message is good--but the reader sounds rather harsh, making already blunt, sometimes harsh, statements even more so. If you are unsatisfied with your life today, Joyce Meyer says "I Dare You" to start living life to the fullest. To find your potential. To embrace your dreams. And to start living your passion. Armchair Interviews says: Be aware this is NOT read by TV evangelist Joyce Meyers.

This review is from: I Dare You: Embrace Life with Passion (Hardcover)
Joyce is always great at helping one to see things in a clear light of inspirational encouragments based on the Word of God. I think it is an ideal book for Christians in their 20's-30's or those new to Christianity.

Dare Yourself!,
By
This review is from: I Dare You: Embrace Life with Passion (Hardcover)
I slightly disagree with Dove's review as I believe the book is for all age groups and all Christianity levels. Too many people give up on the plans God had for our lives before we were even born and this book encourages you to think and then take action again. It's not too late and God has not given up on you. The key is to Dare Yourself! Until then, Pray Continually
