The Answer To Anxiety by Joyce Meyer

Openly BookishLeave a comment

Anxiety is something we all face either in tiny increments or large portions that paralyze us in abject fear. One person who has dealt with this affliction throughout her life is Joyce Meyer. In The Answer To Anxiety, Joyce walks the reader through what can aid us in dealing with our anxiety. Joyce provides 5 keys to help us not be anxious: 1. Don’t be anxious. 2. Prayer 3. Thankfulness 4. Enjoy peace

Joyce walks through each key, how we can apply them to our life and what the Bible says about each one. I know I am not supposed to be anxious, but I also think we can start to make it our default setting. I know for me I think I tend to pray more than I do be thankful. As for trying to have peace with myself and others, that key can be challenging at times.

I found this book to be helpful. I know that I can get so wrapped up in whatever I’m anxious about I forget about all that I have and all that is going right in my life. If I work on shifting my focus to thankfulness then I’m turning it from it being about me through worrying to it being about Him, who has given me everything I have.

If you are looking for a short book on anxiety you might find this book helpful even if you aren’t a believer, though being a believer does make a difference. Disclaimer: myself or Joyce Meyers are not doctors, psychologists or therapists.

How To Age Without Getting Old

Openly BookishLeave a comment

I’m generally in the middle age era of my life and it feels like it arrived in the blink of an eye. One moment I was in grade school, next dealing with the dramas of high and next thing I know I’m feeling old. Funny thing is I don’t look my age thanks to not wearing much makeup and not being a fan of sunbathing. Needless to say reading a book about aging without getting old sounds just right for me.

In Joyce Meyer’s newest upcoming book she delves into the topic of aging and the ways in which she’s come to terms with getting older. She provides stories from her own life and offers Biblical encouragement. At the end of each chapter is a quote by an anonymous person on wisdom they want to offer.

I may be considered too young for this particular title, but actually I think I’m just right for it, or gasp a little behind on needing it. This book makes you think over your life and the choices you’ve made and are making. This book helps encourage me to want to live a long life. That’s why I love talking with elderly people. They offer wisdom from living a long full life.

I received my complimentary copy of How To Age Without Getting Old by Joyce Meyer from Faith Words. The views are my own and my choice. If you are a fan of Joyce Meyer or are just hearing about her I highly recommend this little volume.

The Confident Woman Journal

Openly BookishLeave a comment

Who doesn’t love a beautiful journal? I sure do and am a sucker for journals from Tuesday Morning or Ross. When I got asked if I’d like to review a journal and Joyce Meyer was involved I couldn’t say, “Yes, please, ” fast enough. This journal has pretty colored pages with blues, greens and pinks. Joyce Meyer imparts different messages on each page; topics ranging from faith, fear, confidence, trust, the Holy Spirit and Christ.

I think this journal would make a wonderful prayer journal, to write out your prayers to God. It’s a slim volume, so you don’t have to feel intimidated by it being too thick.

I received this complimentary journal from Faith Words. The views expressed are mine and my choice. Be sure to grab a copy this spring. This journal would make a lovely Easter or birthday gift for a friend, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, etc.

Healing The Soul Of A Woman

Openly Bookish1 Comment

Do you have a lot of past wounds whether they be emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual? If so, you aren’t alone. Joyce Meyer’s recent release handles this topic in depth. The cover of this book is of a beautiful rose in bloom. It’s vibrant in color and perfection. A woman is a like a flower in that she can only bloom when she feels safe, cherished and loved.

Joyce has her own stories of past abuse that she survived and this helped spur her on to want to help other women. This book is her reaching out, to give you the spiritual tools to aid in your healing. Joyce covers topics like confidence, codependency, creating healthy boundaries, liking who you are, and more. She also, covers topics about faith, God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and how God wants to heal wounds so we can be free.

This book may not be long, but the meat on the inside is rich with flavor. Each topic may not always be easy to stomach (conviction anyone?), but I think this book will help you start on your journey to healing.

I received a complimentary copy of Healing The Soul Of A Woman by Joyce Meyer from Faith Words. I am a fan of Joyce Meyer. She doesn’t hold back truth even if it comes across harsh. She is very frank and she has no qualms in telling it like it is. Usually this quality is a turn off for me, but Joyce does it in a firm, loving manner. If my grandma had been a preacher then she would have been a lot like Joyce.

Living A Life You Love

Openly BookishLeave a comment

I’ve read Joyce Meyer for years. I’ve even attended one of her yearly conferences, always held in February. One of my favorite books by Joyce is her book on approval addiction, as that is one habitat I struggle to still curb. When I saw this title was an option to get to read and review I couldn’t pass up on it with a title like, Living A Life You Love.

In this slim volume Joyce goes over how God loves us, but to love others we have to know how to love ourselves, but not in a narcissistic way. She also, talks about through being selfless towards others we will love our life more. Her writing is forthrightly, humorous at times with examples from her own life. Many times in this book I did feel like God was speaking through Joyce’s words. Simple, yet profound.

I received a complimentary copy of Living A Life You Love by Joyce Meyer from and sponsored by FaithWords. Opinions expressed in this review are fully my own. If you are a fan of Joyce Meyer, or this is your first time hearing about her, this book is a great intro book to her books on the Christian faith.
