A must read to understand where the real battles are
I first read this book about 15 years ago. It helped me at the time, and it is helping me now. I gave away my old copy years ago, and decided to buy it for myself and my daughter again. We frequently read books at the same time, and we have both been experiencing life challenges lately. Reading it at a new stage in my life, I am gaining new insights as if it is a brand new book. Everything in it is relevant to my life. Joyce Meyer shares how she struggled for years with negative thinking. It is not enough to just try to "think positive." If you are a Christian, then you know the Word of God (the Bible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ) contains many prescriptions for our lives that bring lasting healing -- way more healing than any pharmaceutical medication could bring. This book provides guidance on how to refocus our thoughts on God's promises and guidance and overcome the negative thoughts that might otherwise cause us to feel defeated, angry or lost. I highly recommend this book to anyone battling depression, suicide, anger, PTSD, and other challenges affecting emotions and mental health.
