(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.

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.

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

The message is solid, but the presentation is weak. If it was Joyce doing the audio, it would be great, but there was less passion in the reading than I would have given, and I talk like a robot.

the book is great. I'm not fond of the voice who read the book. Joyce should record her own books on audio, would make a world of difference!

This is a another great book by Joyce Meyer. It is a book that helps you to really think about where you are in your spiritual life. There are questions to help you evaluate yourself. It is a great for someone who wants to grow spiritually.

Very inspiring author. This is book teaches you a good way to look at life, and your future.

I read the book first. I had a hard time putting it down each night before I went to sleep. I had to buy it on CD so I could listen to it over and over. There is so much great stuff to take in. It is so inspiring. It will fill you with enthusiasm to live the life you were created to live. It compliments and picks up where The Purpose Driven Life left off.

I agree with the other reviewers that the voice in the audio isn't that great, but even so the message is inspirational. For someone who has lived through a very difficult life, I have found much inspiration and motivation through Joyce. To be honest Joyce isn't that easy to listen to herself, her voice is rough and tumble, but that's just her and yet, even so, to be able to inspire and motivate people and give them hope - that says a lot about her. Get this, you won't regret it! 6 hours is not that long and by the end you will be wanting more of her message, if not the voice you've listened to, but if you think about it, sometimes when we are not comfortable to a certain speaker, but the message is sound, we tend to listen better by paying closer attention instead of drifting off...

~Bryan

Her bottom line message is revelant to all. I was annoyed with how she inaccurately quoted the bible. She took a lot of quotes out of context and manipulated them to represent her point of view. You could easily read the title of each section and her quotes pulled out of her writing and get more from the book than reading the entire book. It was like reading a paper from a classmate in high school. Overall, I agree with the point of each chapter but not the her writting.
