Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Battlefield of the Mind -- aid to focus
_Anyone with a Christian background, who has been bothered by feelings of inadequacy, or alternately feels like they can and cannot do something they they feel led to do - would find this invaluable reading.
Joyce Meyer defines worry, deals with problems many of us in home business find-- of a wandering mind -- , and encourages us to think about whether focussed on what we really want to happen.
It is the believer's version of "The Secret". The concept of the universe itself is very vague, whereas we can pray directly to God, and read the Word of God. If its right, and we get the negatives out of our minds, we can do great things if we focus on passages such as Phil.4:13(can do all--)

Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind

This book is great and really, really helped me recover from an emotional, verbally and mentally abusive relationship. I was only able to go to church about 10 times a year and even then caused rages in my ex. This will help you to understand how to recover and understand your feelings. Joyce is so inspiring and been through so much in her life so she been there and recovered and so can you!



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - misquoting scripture
As a pastor who is called to care for his sheep, I have two objections to this book:

1. Joyce Meyers flagrantly misquotes/mistranslates scripture. She translates Proverbs 23:7 as "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he...". I invite the reader to open up any bible and see if her translation of Proverbs 23:7 matches up with any other english translation. It doesn't. In fact, it's nowhere near what it says in that verse or in the chapter. In case you're interested, the original Hebrew is nowhere near to how she translates that verse either.

2. She then continues by building her theology on top of her misquoted verse. Her basic premise is this: If you think good thoughts, then you will have a good life. This is a very unbiblical teaching. You can't get past books in the bible like Job, Jeremiah, Romans, Philippians (and others) without seeing very clearly that God does allow bad things to come into the lives of his Christians. And (despite what Joyce Meyers or Joel Osteen might say) thinking good thoughts doesn't remove them. Our Father in heaven allows them to enter our lives to lift our eyes to heaven, where there will be no suffering. He does this to show us how he will be with us here in our lives despite our pains and trials. He does this to show us that positive thinking isn't the solution to our life. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the solution.

There is a word for people like this--people who misquote scripture and then build their own theology on top of it: False teacher. Treat Joyce Meyers as you would any other false teacher, avoid her.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A Terrific Devotional to a Better Mindset
This book is one you will want to read over and over, as it contains so much practical positive information!

The key premise in this book is that if you change your thoughts, you can change your life.

Ms. Meyer's writes there is a battle going on for the control of our minds. This is a spiritual battle - a battle of ideas and thoughts. Meyers supports her premise with scriptures which show that Satan is doing his best to defeat mankind by poisoning our minds with negative distorted thoughts. The Bible states that Christians should have the "Mind of Christ". In other words, our thoughts should be in-line with those of Jesus. She devotes an entire chapter to explain how Jesus wants us to think as Christians - and what the mind of Christ means to a believer.

There are many other chapters which explain the many types of defeatist deceptions that Satan is able to "plant" in our minds to try to gain a foothold and wrest out minds from Godly things to negative distortions. Just knowing the bag of thought tricks that our oldest enemy throws against us, allows us to defend against him.

In reading and rereading this book, I found myself guilty of thinking in several defeatist or deceptive (lies) ways. Satan is the "Father of all Liars", and he plants suble lies in our thoughts to get us to question the goodness of God, how much God loves us, and how valuable we are in God's sight. Once we begin to question these things, our natural inclination is to become confused and negative. This is exactly what Satan desires - that we question God's love and goodness. Since thoughts are powerful forces in one's life, (thoughts actually change body chemistry) Ms. Meyers teaches the reader how to think in such a way that strengthens one's walk of faith and thereby strengthens one's mind and body. Healthy thoughts lead naturally to a healthy life and body.

I have underlined key thoughts from this book and I reread and rethink these things for it is easy to slip back into defeatist thinking patterns. Therefore, this book is not a one-time read, which then ends up on the shelf. On the contrary! This book sits by my bedside and I review chapters nightly before prayers and sleep to drive home the messages in this book.

I have not read a better "self-help" book that deals with positive Christian thinking. If you can change your thoughts you can change your life. Since changing thoughts is not something that happens overnight, I highly recommend that the reader reviews and meditates on the concepts that Ms. Meyers writes about. It is through constant repitition and application to life situations that the ideas put forth in this book bring results.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to have the mind of Christ and have a joyous life.
