About the Author

JOYCE MEYER has been teaching the Word of God since 1976 and in full-time ministry since 1980. Previously an associate pastor at Life Christian Church in St. Louis, Missouri, she developed, coordinated, and taught a weekly meeting known as "Life In The Word." After more than five years, the Lord brought it to a conclusion, directing her to establish her own ministry and call it "Life In The Word, Inc."

Now, her Life In The Word radio and television broadcasts are seen and heard by millions across the United States and throughout the world. Joyce's teaching tapes are enjoyed internationally, and she travels extensively conducting Life In The Word conferences.

Joyce and her husband, Dave, the business administrator at Life In The Word, have been married for over 35 years. They reside in St. Louis, Missouri, and are the parents of four children. All four children are married and, along with their spouses, work with Dave and Joyce in the ministry.

Believing the call on her life is to establish believers in God's Word, Joyce says, "Jesus died to set the captives free, and far too many Christians have little or no victory in their daily lives." Finding herself in the same situation many years ago and having found freedom to live in victory through applying God's Word, Joyce goes equipped to set captives free and to exchange ashes for beauty. She believes that every person who walks in victory leads many others into victory. Her life is transparent, and her teachings are practical and can be applied in everyday life.

Joyce has taught on emotional healing and related subjects in meetings all over the country, helping multiplied thousands. She has recorded more than 230 different audio-cassette albums and over 75 videos. She has also authored 49 books to help the body of Christ on various topics. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and well written, April 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Eat and Stay Thin: Simple, Spiritual, Satisfying Weight Control (Hardcover)

Joyce Meyer writes from the heart. She emphasizes the concept of eating properly, rather than dieting. This is not yet another "fad-diet" book. Instead, it is practical and inspirational advice on eating in the way that God intended for us.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much of a help, August 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Eat and Stay Thin: Simple, Spiritual, Satisfying Weight Control (Hardcover)

I love Joyce Meyer, she has helped change my life. But, this book was a big disappointment.

Joyce has obviously not had a problem with binge eating or a thyroid disorder.

She only needed to lose about 20 pounds and was never overweight in her childhood. She's really not a good resource on this topic.

Buy all her other books, but not this one.
