The Confident Woman
Support and Motivation
Support and MotivationThis is a great book for every woman out there who is looking for some emotional support, for inspiration and motivation, for a way to boost her self-confidence and rise up to every occasion, to succeed in everything she sets out for.
Joyce is well known to provide all of these things through her books and through her many speeches that are inspiring and touch the hearts of many people. She is a woman who truly cares about other people and is doing a lot of great things to provide all the help we need to achieve greatness.
No Fear
In The Confident Woman, Meyer sets out to explore the seven characteristics of a woman so that the reader can better understand herself which is after what she can truly achieve confidence in herself. She explores the characteristics of a confident woman to be exact which is what every woman should definitely steer to.
Characteristics like of a woman who knows that she is being loved, who refuses to accept a life in fear and as a result, does not live in one with fear and others just as important as these. Joyce makes sure that her readers understand that being confident means to live honestly and to be positive with every action they take and whatever happens to them that they cannot control and to understand that confidence comes from having faith in God and, of course, in ourselves the most.
Approval Addiction
Insecurity
InsecurityMuch like in The Confident Woman, Joyce talks about the epidemic that covers society regarding the fact that people are more and more insecure about themselves and their lives.
In Approval Addiction, she explains that people literally have an addiction to being liked by everyone, being approved by everyone, being accepted by everyone, even the people that we don’t like and the ones that don’t like us. We want those people to like us more than others.
Terrible Addiction
She talks about the fact that we absolutely need this thing because we just don’t know how and haven’t been taught how to find it in ourselves. Since birth, we have learned that other people need to respect us, that we depend on that, that it is a rule of society. How sad is that? Luckily, Joyce tells us that there is a cure for this terrible addiction.
She talks about that cure in this amazing book and how it can help us all to better our lives without the need for being liked by everyone we meet and know. She shows us the way to knowing how to overcome the terrible feeling of rejection and low-self-esteem as it is just not worth all the worrying and the bad health impacts that it holds.
Become a Winner
This just might be the best thing for someone who has low self-esteem and just wants to be more confident and take action of their own destiny no matter what everyone else says. It’s a book that can teach you how to be a winner and to depend on yourself.
Beauty for Ashes
Life-Changing
Cure Your Trauma
She talks about how people who had suffered from all kinds of sexual, physical, emotional, mental abuse can finally be cured of all the trauma and can start to live their lives in peace and harmony without dwelling on the horrible past.
Who better to talk about these things and to teach about overcoming them than a person like Joyce who has literally gone through all of that and has risen past it to form a famous ministry that offers healing and support for many people.
Grab Hold of Love
She is proof that anything is possible with the faith in God and their unconditional belief in him. Some of the many things she aspires to teach in Beauty for Ashes are things like how to deal with the emotional pain of abuse, how to grab hold of God’s unconditional love for you, understanding why victims of abuse often tend to suffer from some addictive behaviors, all of that and more will be made clear in this amazing masterpiece by Joyce.
Power Thoughts
Joyce-isms
If you are at all familiar with Joyce Meyer’s work, then you will know that she has a knack for coining phrases that you often find yourself repeating. Her fans call these “Joyce-isms”, which I find endearing. But one of Meyer’s most popular and well-known Joyce-isms is, “Where the mind goes, the man follows”. This is the phrase that inspired her to bring us this book about powerful thoughts.
Meyer provides the reader with the ability to use their mind as a tool to help them achieve the things they want in life. She does this in a very practical manner, which I quite enjoyed. She sets out a flexible program that demonstrates how to turn thoughts into habits and habits into success.
Reset
Meyer also breaks the book into sections, which cover, amongst other things, The Power of a Positive You, The Power of Perspective, and More Power to You. Some of the more notable power thoughts that Meyer shares really resonated with me, such as, “I will not live in fear”, and “I can do whatever I need to do in life through Christ”.
Meyer made me realize that it all comes down to the way you think, and that my mind is more powerful than I know. Everyone fears being misunderstood or feeling uncomfortable, but Meyer shows readers how to use those things to your advantage, rather than let them be something debilitating. If you’re feeling like you need a mindset reset, then this is the book for you!
The Penny
The Little Things
Joyce Meyer does what she does best in this highly ranked book: helps people realize that they can get through anything with just a bit of confidence and by following their faith. Except this time, Meyer doesn’t bring it to us in the form of a self-help book. It’s rather in the form of a fiction novel, one with a beautiful story.
Jenny Blake has her own theories about life. She believes that big decisions don’t usually amount to anything; it is rather the little decisions that count the most. Jenny proves herself right the summer she is 14 years old, when she decides to pick up a penny from the ground.
Have A Little Faith
This seemingly insignificant action of picking up the penny leads Jenny to stop a robbery, get a job, and meet Miss Shaw, someone who changes Jenny’s life forever. The two form a friendship that forces them both to confront the secrets from their pasts – secrets that threaten to destroy them.
Both Miss Shaw and Jenny learn to open up to the community around them, discovering that even the most painful challenges can be faced with a little confidence and a lot of faith. This story reveals how God works even in the smallest of ways, and it is such an uplifting read. There are definitely parts that will be difficult to read, but the overall message is a beautiful one.
Living Beyond Your Feelings
A Million Thoughts
I am sure that I am not alone in feeling like my brain is thinking a million thoughts a day, and sometimes I just cannot keep up! Trying to narrow down which particular thought leads me to feel a certain type of way can be quite difficult, because it makes it difficult to understand where the emotions that I am feeling come from.
I was very ready to jump into this highly rated book from Joyce Meyer, because I needed all the best advice she can give, and honestly, it came at the perfect time. I was sick of feeling like my emotions were controlling me, and Meyer teaches you how controlling your emotions can considerably improve your life.
Understanding Yourself
Meyer examines all the different feelings that people can experience, and how the brain processes them. She looks at how humans store thoughts and memories, and then she uses different emotions to explain the best way to manage our reactions to those emotions. Essentially, Meyer gives readers a toolbox that allows them to learn how to manage feelings that may otherwise wreak havoc on their lives.
I really enjoyed this book, and like I said earlier, I kind of read it at the perfect time. Meyer blends different techniques, such as the latest psychological research and wisdom from the Bible, to discuss the different personality types and their influence on your outlook in life. It’s a really good book to read if you’re looking to try find some balance and understand your mind a bit better.
Change Your Words, Change Your Life
Powerful Words
Words pack a lot of power; I am sure that is something we can all agree on. This is something that Joyce Meyer explores in one of her latest books. She believes that we can decide the power that we want our words to carry and that doing so can increase or decrease our levels of joy.
Meyer posits how the words we use can affect the answers to our prayers, which in turn can have a negative or positive impact on our future. But words also reveal so much more. They can show what we are thinking and what our attitudes are. Meyer builds on from her earlier work in ‘Power Thoughts’ with this book.
Words Are The Vehicle
Throughout this book, Meyer examines how words are the vehicles which we use to convey our thoughts and emotions. She provides a guideline for taking the words we use and making them constructive, healing and healthy. She gives lessons and advice that anyone can put into practice after reading this.
I enjoyed the last part of the book where Meyer shares a bunch of scriptures and verses, covering different topics that relate to the subject of this book. I think more of us should take the time to really think about the words we use, because those words show other people who we are and how we think.
Trusting God Day by Day
Daily Devotions
Personally, I am a huge fan of books like this one from Joyce Meyer. I love waking up and being able to read something that leaves me thinking and sets the tone for the rest of my day. This is exactly what these daily devotions are. You can pick this book up in the morning and read a devotion that proves to be a powerful starting point for every day of the year.
Each daily devotion is filled with helpful advice from Meyer along with words from God that you can easily apply to your own life. The advice covers every possible situation, from your daily circumstances or your success, to your talents and the opinions of others.
Live Intentionally
The biggest takeaway from this book is that you need to put your trust in God’s word, and he will guide you along the way. Apply what he promises more than anything else. But living like this is not something that just happens – it has to be intentional. You need to make the choice to take what you read each day and do something with it.
I am still busy working my way through this one, but so far, I have found myself waking up every day with something new to think about and consider. You can either read the devotions in order, or you can open the book onto a random page every day. Either way, there will be advice in these pages that will resonate with you, and help you live a more happy and intentional life.
Final Thoughts
Just by reading the reviews from people who have read Joyce’s books you will feel free knowing that she has been and still is helping people all around the world to overcome their problems, gain strong confidence about themselves, and lead better and happier lives. We hope that you grab some of the books from this list about the best books from Joyce Meyer.
