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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing, September 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Succeed at Being Yourself: Finding the Confidence to Fulfill Your Destiny (Hardcover)

I have read several books by Joyce Meyer, and all of them were helpful to me. But if you are looking to learn how to be more confident in Jesus Christ, and to learn how to just "be yourself" without worrying about what everyone else thinks, then this book will be wonderful for you. Now that I've read it, I feel okay to allow God to transform me into His own new creation. One of the key principles in this book is to trust that God is changing you into a better person day by day, even when it doesn't actually feel like it. The book is also good at adressing feelings of insecurity and inferiority.

So if this sounds good, then get the book quickly. It is definitely worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful to me, December 28, 1999

This review is from: How to Succeed at Being Yourself: Finding the Confidence to Fulfill Your Destiny (Hardcover)

This book was very informative and helpful. Joyce gives examples that are easy to understand and, since she used to be insecure herself, she is not just preaching, but telling about the things she did to help her overcome her insecurities. Being in high school, I have always wanted to be like everyone else. If they did something that I wasn't good at, I'd get jealous and try to copy them, failing and thinking I was no good at anything. One of the points Joyce made that helped me is that God gave everyone their own unique gifts and talents. Each person can do something different with their talents, and one person is not good at everything. This book has helped me accept the fact that I'm not perfect, and to try to focus on what I'm good at. I would recommend this book to anyone. It really helps you build confidence and helps you discover your own unique gifts and talents! :)

I have enjoyed several of Joyce Meyer's earlier works, but this one really struck a chord with me. I have always had a hard time seeing myself as God sees me, but this book has given me a real boost. Get this book if you have ever struggled with doubt, fear, anxiety, low self-esteem, or a lack of confidence. Joyce tells you how to trust in God, step out in faith, and fulfill your God-given destiny!
