If you're a baby Christian (as I am), this is a must book for you. "Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them." Isaiah 42:9 Insecure, Alone, Depressed, Worried, Stressed, Discouraged, Afraid? Hear what God has to say about it all. Joyce writes from the heart and explains it simply to those that are ready to hear.

"One of the areas in which I have had to learn obedience to the Lord, is in talking, or more precisely when to stop talking."


Joyce Meyer has more to say on all topics and certainly in this book, we learn more of her secrets to a better life through God and His word. It has been a very unique and helpful teaching for me, as it shows the ways we can rid ourselves of the smallest hurt to the largest worry. Mrs. Meyer gives us insights into dealing with our securities, worry, stress, loneliness, and other negative causes where we can turn ourselves through Christ to confident and positive Christians, equipped for the fight.
Thank you Mrs. Meyer, you are indeed a gem. There are so many people, far more than you know who love reading and adhering to your written word. Bless you always.

Great book, Joyce! It confirmed what I've been learning over the past several years. I now speak God's Word over my situation. If I feel blue, for instance, I start praising Him and quoting scriptures pertinent to the situation, i.e. "Beloved, I wish above all things that you Prosper and Be in Health!"

Thanks for confirming and affirming and teaching multitudes how to talk your way to winning.

Joyce Meyer is a favorite author, but this book is for everyone. She gives biblical answers for all the tough questions, and it's so helpful and practical! Get it!

Joyce is the best in giving you the direction to move your life forward. If you feel stuck or down or just feel like you are going crazy, like it is just you. Read this book. It changes lives every day. Both me and my wife give it to people all the time as part of our ministry to reach out and help.

Great advice and life examples. I actually didn't know that prayer
with thanksgiving meant...opened my eyes. For awhile I've been reading more of the Bible and spiritual books. My mother WARNED me not to get obsessed, but I didn't let it bother me, because she didn't know what she was missing (and what I was searching for). I encouraged her to read it and finally a year later she did! She wouldn't put down the book for awhile and even ignored the TV, which speaks volumes. Recommend this books from teens to older.

I've been a Christian as long as I can remember, but it doens't matter if youve been at Christian for 5 minutes or 5 years this book is a must have. The chapters in this book have helped me in a lot of different situations over the years.

I have not read the entire book yet but...so far I love it. I think its worth the Dollars. C Davis

Ordered this item, we never received it.Don't buy it because it may not get to you. Only gave it a star because they wouldn't let me give it a zero.

This is a wonderful inspiring book no matter where you are at in your spiritual life. A friend let me borrow her book and I had to have my own.
