The Gospel

John 3:16 - For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. John 17:2-3 - [Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.

Approval Addiction: Overcoming Your Need to Please Everyone

About the Author

Joyce Meyer is the bestselling author of more than seventy inspirational books, including THE CONFIDENT WOMAN, LOOK GREAT, FEEL GREAT and BATTLEFIELD OF THE MIND. Joyce's 'Enjoying Everyday Life' radio and television programmes are broadcast around the world, and she travels extensively conducting conferences.

Overview

There is an epidemic of insecurity in society today. Many people suffer from an unhealthy need for affirmation. They are not capable of feeling good about themselves. For some the quest for approval becomes an actual addiction, as they seek self-worth from the outside world because they can't find it within themselves. Joyce Meyer understands the need for seeking approval from others to overcome feelings of rejection and low self-esteem. The good news, she says, is that there is a cure. God provides all the security anyone needs. Her goal is to provide a pathway toward freedom from the approval addiction.


Review


Read Rick Warren's “Purpose-Driven” Life! to better understand why you are the way you are.




Joyce Meyer, author of the million-copy bestseller Battlefield of the Mind plus more than 60 other books, addresses the constant need some people have for approval. This need stems from insecurity, which, in Meyer's own case and in the case of many others, arises from abuse—physical, verbal or emotional—sometime in the past. After years of struggle, study and attempts to live out biblical teachings, Meyer happily reports that she now lives for God's approval alone. 

For readers beginning the journey to recovery, she offers biblical exposition and sound self-help advice. The first step, she says, is accepting who we are and where we stand in God's eyes. "We must learn to think about and believe in our righteousness," she declares. The second step is facing our approval addiction and the feelings of shame, guilt, anger and unforgiveness that come with it. Finally, we must break our behavior patterns in the future. Meyer admits that she "will always be a type-A... in fact, most of the time I am type A+." Her writing bears out her self-assessment: it's strong, pointed, no-nonsense and even pushy. But Meyer knows what she's talking about, truly loves God and wants people, with God's help, to overcome their addiction to human approval. Her goal? "I want you to become addicted to Jesus!

Look To Faith




Hebrews 11 is the Hall of Fame for the heroes and heroines of faith. It is like the champions who have fought the fight of faith cheering us on. But all of them point us to one direction - JESUS!

Faith is simply looking unto Jesus as a drowning person look unto a lifeguard. This book by Joyce Meyer read together with “Two Kinds of Faith” by Dr E W Kenyon serves to be a powerful shot of adrenaline to your inner man and will make a faith hero or heroine out of you!


Who Is Dr E W Kenyon
Dr E W Kenyon was known as the “Father” of Faith in his generation. I feasted on 19 of his books consecutively. I walked away persuaded and convinced to simply STAND on God's Word (Ephesians 6:13 - Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.) . God gave me His Word! Not some Tom, Dick or Hary but the Creator of the entire Universe!
