100 Ways to Simplify Your Life (Joyce Meyer)

Let's face it: life is complicated. Most of us feel like we're doing too much with too little and half the time we don't know whether we're coming or going. In this book popular Bible teacher Joyce Meyer suggests strategies to make life in the 21st century a little easier. Tips range from the practical (clear out the clutter, organise, stay out of debt and block solicitor's phone calls) to the spiritual (keep God first, pray about everything, and become like a little child). While there is some good stuff here, I really didn't learn anything that would help me simplify my life. Many of the spiritual topics are repeated in slightly varying forms. For example: tip #44 is "pray about everything"; #61 is "keep prayer simple" and #77 is "pray before you have an emergency". I certainly don't quarrel with the material presented, but I would have preferred to see a broader range of subjects. Additionally, no topic is given more than a page and a half. Obliviously no book can cov... Read more

100 WAYS TO SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE - JOYCE MEYER "Being alone and enjoying quiet time is very healing to our souls. Every one needs regular time to reflect and allow the soul to quiet down." I always enjoy the books that Joyce Meyer writes and this one is by no means an exception. One Hundred Ways To Simplify Your Life has caused me to look at my life and evaluate it. It has caused me to be more than ever aware of God's presence in my life, and to appreciate that God is only a prayer away in my anzious moments and when burdened with cares. Being being Born Again makes us so very privileged, and we must not take it for granted. Joyce Meyer has great advice in the book for those who want to truly walk in God's light, and want to do it everyday. I highly recommend this as a wonderful gift for all people.

my customer requested this book to share with someone. Thank you for making it available.

I drove nearly 200 miles to see the author and her husband at a book signing where I purchased this book. I would encourage everyone reading my review to try to see the author, Joyce Meyer, in person. Life is too complicated these days and any hints or exercises or changes I can make to simplify my life are always helpful. One thing Joyce Meyer teaches is that so much of our lives are controlled by our possessions - taking care of stuff, cleaning stuff, storing stuff, acquiring stuff - soooo, a good exercise is to examine and assess what role possessions and material things play in your life. Joyce encourages us to go visit a junkyard and look at things sitting in a junkyard. She reminds us that those things in that junkyard are long forgotten by someone but at one time these things were someone's dream and even could have resulted in a broken relationship to acquire these things or possess them. This insight sort of puts into perspective our materialistic culture. When I first ... Read more
