Never Give Up!: Relentless Determination to Overcome Life's Challenges [Hardcover]

Joyce Meyer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 17, 2009

Joyce Meyer is probably better equipped than anyone when it comes to never giving up. She overcame an abused childhood, a bad marriage and extremely limited opportunities to become one of the most popular author/speakers in the world. Joyce Meyer Ministries was the first ministry in America to be headed by a woman, and it's one of the largest in the world. If anyone knows how to hold on to a dream and realize it, it's her. Packed with examples of people who pursued their goals relentlessly, the book profiles nearly fifty individuals who prevailed against all odds. From the builder of the Brooklyn Bridge to the chemists who invented Post-It notes we meet people like Bessie Coleman, an African-American who had to go to flight school in Paris in order to learn how to fly. But she did, becoming the first woman in America to earn her pilot's license in 1920.

Review

"Sandra McCollom interprets the author's work and down-to-earth style with crisp, clear diction.... McCollom's power and energy complement Meyer's teachings on the Bible, which stress the importance of starting the day with God, even if it's only 10 minutes....McCollom maintains vocal consistency throughout and provides context with her versatile vocal range. This audio devotional is a good choice to listen to during a short commute or while preparing for work." (on NEW DAY, NEW YOU) (AudioFile Magazine ) --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Am So Impressed, April 13, 2009

By 

Grace Lynn (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never Give Up!: Relentless Determination to Overcome Life's Challenges (Hardcover)

I am not in any way a bible-oriented Christian, although I do embrace many aspects of Christianty. I bought this book at Target. It called to me and I took the challenge. I am dealing with my share of wanting to either give up or push through on my goals and have been in a lot of distress. Well, this book, with its inspirational stories and its message that we all experience roadblocks on the way to pursue our dreams (not just me!) is just what I needed. I immediately recognized in a positive way that I definitely have some attitudes in need of adjustment and I feel so inspired by just reading this book and putting some of the ideas into action, that I just know a power greater than myself is always with me and trying to guide me on to my dreams and I am going to reach my goals now. I just have to learn to get out of my own way, do the work, and let things happen. Does not matter how big or small your goal is, whether or not you totally, partly, or minimally embrace Joyce's brand of Christianity, this book is total nourishment for the mind and soul. Even the inspirational stories alone will amaze you. Others have already been inspired by some of the stories from the book I have share with them.

This review is from: Never Give Up!: Relentless Determination to Overcome Life's Challenges (Hardcover)

I have not read anything of Joyce's before, but I have seen her on TV, and I have many friends who have done her Bible Studies. I bought this book for a week long trip to the Dominican Republic, (I love to read at the beach or by the pool). I finished it before the trip was over! It was very easy reading and very inspiring! I encourage anyone who has a hard time letting go of their "failures" in the past to get a hold of this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Joyce Meyer's Book "Never Give Up" is her absolute best!, May 9, 2009

This review is from: Never Give Up!: Relentless Determination to Overcome Life's Challenges (Paperback)

I have been reading Joyce Meyer's books since 1994 and her most recent book, "Never Give Up" is, in my opinion, her best. In the book are examples of many people who have overcome seemingly impossible circumstances.

I believe this book is God-inspired and should be read by everyone.
