I'm reading it for the 2nd time now...because I want to highlight the greatest parts so they are easy to find when I need a "pick me up". For anyone who wants to get a foot on the path of finding or renewing your faith, this is an excellent book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical advice on living the Christian life, April 1, 2009

By 

Sharilyn - See all my reviews

This review is from: Start Your New Life Today: An Exciting New Beginning with God (Hardcover)

When I joined my current church, I was given a list of doctrines and rules. Oh how I wish someone would have given me this book instead!

The book begins with a brief explanation of what it means to accept Christ and how to do it. Mrs Meyer then goes on to address issues that most churches don't discuss, things like the importance of a person's thought life, attitude, and words, as well as physical and emotional well-being. While none of the topics are explored in depth, she does give succinct and practical advice. Mrs. Meyers also repeatedly reminds her readers that spiritual growth is a gradual process.

This is a very easy read. It's divided up into very short chapters, so readers are never overwhelmed with too much information at once. It makes a good daily devotional.

It's marketed as a primer for new converts, but it also makes an excellent "refresher course" for any believer. While it's certainly not the seminal work on the Christian faith, it does provide a solid introduction to the concept that true Christianity is an on-going relationship with God and not just religious dogma.

Berkeley Grad: '06 - See all my reviews

This review is from: Start Your New Life Today: An Exciting New Beginning with God (Hardcover)

I am in the quarterlife period of my life, and this book is a good book to guide me, or anyone else through this time. I am trying to figure out where my life is going, but with God's guidance. She breaks down how we should be thinking, our will and God's will for our lives, making decisions, controlling our emotions, exchanging fear for faith, and taking care of our bodies. One important message that Joyce writes about is how to listen for God's guidance, and meditate on His promises. Because I'm praying a lot, I have taken the time to really listen/look for God's guidance and direction in my life. It takes patience! The 12 pt. font makes it an easy-read, and you can start on any chapter that applies to your life right now. Joyce Meyer also has a great bible that includes prayers, and good explanations of how the bible applies to our lives.
