When I first received my copy of Joyce Meyer’s book, The True Secret To Happiness, my first thoughts were, “I’ve read nearly every book she has written and stood in line for hours to hear her preach, what else could I possibly learn from her?”
Whew…. where do I start?
I found the answers to the following questions in this book:
How can I truly enjoy life given my circumstances?
How can I be completely satisfied with where I am in my life?
How can I be happy with, and most importantly, how can I love me?
Joyce answers these questions by focusing on our relationship with God. This is not a book on how to be happy in the way the world perceives happiness but instead, it is about the pure joy that can only come as a result of our relationship with God. Girl, I got inspired and happy just reading through the chapter titles!
The clear cut principals that are given in this book are so simple that the reader may be shocked that they didn’t think of it themselves. There are also humorous stories spread throughout the book that are sure to make the reader smile and I appreciate that given the subject matter. I learned to enjoy life one day at a time and to soak it up and savor it.
There are 28 short and easy to read chapters in this book. They cover every area from laughing, trusting through trials, and health to simplicity, raising the standard, and creativity. The type is fairly large which makes it easy to read and the layout is pleasing to the eye. It is complete with an appendix of scriptures that you can pray and memorize. This book gives hope and who couldn’t use some of that?
This book is scheduled to be released on April 29, 2008. I highly recommend that you get a copy and while you are at it, bless that friend who could use a bit of happiness!
Stumble it!

I love Joyce!!!!!!!!!! I listen to her everyday. Just got my Power Thoughts CDs in the mail today. I would love to read this book!!
Blessings, Amy!
PS- hope you got my email earlier AND I am very tempted to catch up on LOST, too. I actually did watch the 1st show and liked it!
I love to read Joyce Meyer I feel like she writes all her books about me. I even listen to her on my I-Pod at work. :)
Amy,
Thanks for reviewing this book. I really enjoy listening to Joyce on the radio and have read a couple of her books. I look forward to this one as well.
I think the ticket for Joyce is that she has been where we are. She is able to relate to so many of the things we go through since she has been through them.
