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 Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars very eye-opening and motivational, August 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Me and My Big Mouth: Your Answer is Right Under Your Nose (Paperback)

I recently discovered Joyce Meyer and now I can't get enough of her! I definitely struggle with a "mouth issue" and as soon as I heard about this book I knew it was written for me! The book has a scripture on every page as well as personal reflections and stories from Joyce. It forces you to take a good look (or listen) at yourself. It makes you think about the consequences of things you say as well as the motivation behind what you say. It reinforces what Mom always said plain and simple..."If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it!"

This review is from: Me and My Big Mouth: Your Answer is Right Under Your Nose (Paperback)

This is one of Joyce Meyer's best books out! She has taken us from having a "wordly" acceptable behavior to being accountable of what we say to and about others and ourself.This is a must for all to read. It is food for thought! I've enjoyed it more than any book I've read in a long while. Worth reading twice!
