Number one New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer shares powerful, practical ways to experience a new level of joy and excitement about life every day. The traffic is backed up, the kids are screaming, and the car is making a funny noise again. Any one of these challenges can test our temperament and rob us of joy. Our impulse is to write today off and hope for a better tomorrow. However, this creates a hard pattern to break. One terrible day easily turns into many-and soon we're living a life far from what God has in mind for us. A new, transforming sense of excitement, happiness, and contentment in our lives is possible when we pursue God's goodness each day. In 20 Ways to Make Everyday Better, Joyce Meyer shares biblical illustrations, actionable advice, uplifting stories, and the encouragement we need to start enjoying the life God created for us.

Let me start off by saying, that if you have read any of my other reviews of Joyce Meyer's work, you will know that while I love her writing, I can't stand the translation of the Bible that she uses in her work. While she may
have used that version in this work, it wasn't as obvious. Maybe passages were chosen that didn't have all of the distracting parenthesis and brackets that I so loathe, or she used a different translation. Whichever is the case, it worked for me. My prior complaints will not While she may have used that version in this work, it wasn't as obvious. Maybe passages were chosen that didn't have all of the distracting parenthesis and brackets that I so loathe, or she used a different translation. Whichever is the case, it worked for me. My prior complaints will not be cropping up in this review. So I am free to focus on the work itself. Which was, classic amazing and insightful Joyce Meyer. She really has a gift and I love that
she shares it with as many people as she can. She is so down-to-earth and yet full of seriousness for The Word. She seems like someone I could sit and have a cup of tea with, a good listener and an insightful conversationalist with Biblical knowledge. As I was reading this, I realized that while I may not need this book right now, I have a friend who really could use this book at this time. I will be gifting it to her soon. I can see where this book is incredibly helpful to those living
in a dark cloud of doom and gloom. It doesn't replace therapy or medical attention if it is warranted, but for those every day blues, this book would be a big help for those looking for help. Please note, that if you are suffering from a mental disorder, please seek help. It isn't weak to get the help you need, it's strength to realize you have an issue and brave to face it and deal with it. I think this book could probably be a good tool to help, but getting professional attention is necessary for some issues and there is nothing wrong with that. This has hit home with me recently in the past few months, as two of the employees in my company have committed suicide, one of them did it at work and was found by other coworkers. We get training on recognizing suicidal thoughts and behaviors every year, and yet it still happens with a stunning and depressing regularity. I'm begging you, if you have thoughts that you plan to or want to hurt yourself, GET HELP. Sorry, didn't mean to make this a PSA for mental health, but the topic of the book leads to it I think. If you have "normal" (for want of a better word) every day blues or negativity, this book can be a big help. If you have something more severe, this book might be good to add alongside professional treatment. 5, we only get one life, we should be happy (state of mind, not things happening to you) and try to enjoy as much of it as we can, remember, God loves us ALL, stars. My thanks to NetGalley and FaithWords / Center Street for an eARC copy of this book to read and review. ...more
This is the 5th book by this author that I've read. I like her encouragement to lead a better life. Her messages are positive and they are great reminders to not get so caught up in life that we forget our purpose. Even
though the information wasn't new (it was mostly common sense but I get that there is a shortage of that with some people) I especially enjoyed the biblical scriptures she puts in for support. I found some of her personal stories repetitive, but I still liked this. I found some of her personal stories repetitive, but I still liked this.
I had heard of this author but had never read any of her books. That is going to change! I love her style. She is unpretentious and down to earth, easy to read without oversimplifying or talking down to the reader. She makes principles so easy to understand and explains how to practice them in everyday life. Her attitude is amazing; I don't think I've ever encountered such a positive thinking author, even the original positive thinker himself, Norman Vincent Peale!

I love Joyce Meyer’s teaching. She is so down to earth, gets to the heart of things. Really if we just got the stuff she teaches the other things in our lives would fall into place. A copy of this book was given to me through Netgalley.com. All opinions are my own.
"I'm just having a bad day." Have you ever said that to yourself or perhaps a friend or family member in a way to excuse your behavior or attitude for the moment? Traffic is backed
up, you spill your coffee before you even get a sip, the kids are driving you crazy, the kitchen faucet is dripping, your boss is in a mood, and the car is making that funny noise again. I'm just have a bad day! While there aren't many days when all those things happen at once (thankfully), you and I both know that any Have you ever said that to yourself or perhaps a friend or family member in a way to excuse
your behavior or attitude for the moment? Traffic is backed up, you spill your coffee before you even get a sip, the kids are driving you crazy, the kitchen faucet is dripping, your boss is in a mood, and the car is making that funny noise again. I'm just have a bad day! While there aren't many days when all those things happen at once (thankfully), you and I both know that any one of those challenges can test our temperament, pollute our perspective, or hijack our joy. Far too often we
write it off as a "bad day" and give up until tomorrow. Tomorrow will be better, we hope, while subconsciously waving the white flag of surrender on today. But the problem with bad days is they tend to pile up - have you noticed that? A bad day becomes a bad week. A bad week becomes a bad month. And before you know it, a bad month becomes a bad year. Many of us spend the last week of every December saying the exact same thing: "I can't wait until this year is over!" If you can
relate to that, if you've ever given up on today, waiting on tomorrow, pick up Joyce Meyer's latest book. 20 Ways to Make Every Day Better! The book is divided into four equally important sections: "When You Awake," "New Steps to Take," " Patterns to Break," and "Before It's Too Late." These sections are meant to systematically take you through your day and show you what God's Word teaches about making that day and every day count. You can open any chapter at any time and apply the principle in
that chapter to make your day immediately better. This book is full of biblical instruction, practical applications, stories to inspire, and helpful suggestions. I received 20 Ways to Make Every Day Better by Joyce Meyer compliments of Faith Words, a division of Hachette Book Groups. What I love most about Joyce's books is that they drive home the point in a way that is both humorous and biblical. She just gives it to you straight like you need to hear things without candy-coating
anything. As I was going through my own rough patch medically, this book enabled me to not chalk everything up to a "bad moment" in my life. That there were things I good glean from this time of suffering and trial and grow both spiritually and mentally in the process and most of all, make me a better person to be around. There is also the 20 Ways to Make Every Day Better Study Guide which helps you through each stage of the book. I would recommend you getting them both so you can work through
the points of the book in conjunction with your own personal struggle. This would also be perfect for a great small group Bible study. After all, who doesn't have a bad day from time to time? I give both of these resources a 5 out of 5 stars.

Refreshing View, Joyce Meyer offered new refreshing ways to build spiritual strength. I found the layout and topics helpful because it put me in a position to be mindful to always invite God
into every area of my life.
All of Joyce Meyer's books use common sense to point out how the reader can improve their life, and this one is no different - and that's a good thing! She manages to walk the fine line between works theology and freedom in Jesus. No, by being better people, it doesn't assure us a place in Heaven. And no, freedom in Jesus doesn't allow us to sin purposely. However, in response to the love of Jesus, we can become better people. Joyce shows us how.

hard enough for it, that you will somehow get it. May resonate well with other readers; I didn't like the early message of the book that if you want something bad enough, and dream hard enough for it, that you will somehow get it.

self-help book of great help because it will pass through God's Word.

Other than a few videos, this book is my first exposure to Joyce Meyers. Why did I wait so long? From the introduction when she challenges you to think differently about saying, "I'm having a
bad day," through the end of the book, Ms. Meyers asks you to look at your daily life differently. It's easy to find yourself underlining sentences and stuffing notes in the margins of this book.

It's easy to find yourself underlining sentences and stuffing notes in the margins of this book. Each chapter comes with an end page, suggestions for putting that chapter into practice. This includes practical advice--which is something I liked about this whole book. It is full of practical approaches for incorporating/keeping
God in your life on a daily basis. It could be helpful to pull those out and scatter them around my office as a daily reminder! In the chapter, "Invest in Yourself," number 6 is: We're trying to do it alone." This is so true for many of us--when we have to tell ourselves again and again: God is right here with us, all we ever have to do is turn to Him. We hear a lot about gratitude these days, but the chapter "Be grateful," helps you look at this attitude and practice in new ways.
I love the quote, "There is no downside to gratitude." Anyone looking to change their daily world in manageable ways should read this book.

I received this book in a goodreads giveaway. When I first picked this book up and looked at the table of contents I was a little disappointed because I thought most of it looked like common sense advice.

There were some things that were simple changes and common sense advice but I did find a new perspective on a couple of points she made especially on the expectations chapter. I also found that in some areas where I knew the concepts the author was writing about I was not always living them out so the reminder was very good for me. Overall I would recommend this book. I found it to be helpful. I do think I will go back over it and take the chapters at a slower pace. That will give me time to absorb concepts one at a time rather than speeding through the book. ...more
I used this book as a daily devotional, along with Bible reading. Each day, I would read either a chapter or part of a chapter in the book, and then study the Scriptures that were in
that day's reading. It's amazing how many right-on-time messages, 20 Ways to Make Every Day Better, offered this way.
I really learned a lot from this book. The author, Joyce Meyer, is truly a woman of God. My favorite
lesson is from chapter 5: Don't give in to dread. I am going to incorporate that into my life. Instead of saying "I dread going to physical therapy because I have never been and I don't know what will happen", I say "I look forward to going to physical therapy because I know it will help me deal with the pain from the arthritis in my knees" I found all of the suggestions to be both simple and prac I found all of the suggestions to be both simple and practical and will be using most, if not all
of them. Thank you goodreads for this excellent giveaway.

Bite size bits of good advice. Each of the 20 chapters could probably be a whole book, but having the main point as just one chapter suits my lack of attention span just fine... however the bite size summary nature means each topic is a general principle - not a nuanced discussion. Some of the statements are generally true, but not in every situation; there isn't really space to go into the "not always" exceptions, although they are mentioned sometimes.

This was my first book of hers. I like her straight-forward style. I think a lot of these things are somewhat "common sense" but the tales she interweaves with them, the scriptures she adds and the break-down of the chapters into sections including examples of how to implement what was just discussed I found helpful. Even though some of these things were "common sense" type suggestions I never felt like she was talking down or demeaning. I will be checking out the webpage and other books.

So many great ideas! It should be easy to find at least one to implement each day.
This is another classic from Joyce Meyer. I could not put the book down.
Love this for its practicality. Joyce Meyer is so uplifting and also to the point. Way to get real and out of a rut. Worth a second read or a third. Could be done in a book study I think.
