Seven
Things That Steal Your Joy
Overcoming
the Obstacles to Your Happiness
By Joyce Meyer
Read
by Joyce Meyer
Philippians
4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always
[delight, gladden yourselves in Him];
again I say Rejoice!
This
author's idea of being joyful in the Lord doesn't include the false
joy we tend to see during Sunday morning hand shaking sessions -
stiff jaw, toothy smile, and repetitive "Bless you" breathed
more out of habit than belief. Seven Things That Steal Your
Joy reveals seven things that steal one's joy, and follows
up with seven things to help keep “real” joy in one’s
life.
Author
and evangelist, Joyce Meyers, believes joy is the source of a Christian's
strength. It's the balance one needs to be strong and truly happy,
setting him or her apart from others. Seeking God's Will instead
of one's own is one of the subjects Meyers discusses. She also points
out that one doesn't need signs on how to behave as a Christian,
because God writes it upon the heart. Obey His word, walk in the
spirit, and it will all come naturally. Meyers believes Christians
should stop taking themselves so seriously and have a little fun
by enjoying life and enjoying their relationship with God.
Meyers'
teachings can be very direct - outspoken even -- but never at the
expense of others. It took years of trials and tribulations for
Joyce to learn the truths she generously shares in this book. Her
advice is clear and, more importantly, backed up by scripture --
as the church folks would say: It's an "Amen" or "Oh
Me" kind of book.
The
audio book is read by Joyce Meyers. It sounds like she’s getting
a bit more comfortable in her readings. Time Warner has many of
her books on audio. And sermons by her can be found at her website.
