12:06 am	Beauty for Ashes - Receiving Emotional Healing by Joyce Meyer Beauty of Ashes is Joyce Meyer's way of sharing her own story about healing. You may wonder, but Meyer is actually not a stranger when it comes to experiences a lot of degrading problems in her life. And whether she liked it or not, these experiences brought her to a place in her heart where healing seems impossible. For more than thirty years, Meyer was abused physically, verbally and sexually. But it was indeed a miracle when she found the hope and strength that she needed to once again stand up with the help of God. Beauty for Ashes is a book that is dedicated primarily for victims of abuse. Through this book, Meyer states that the adversities faced by victims will surely change the way they look at themselves, thinking that they are worthless. But life must go on. Meyer states her own experiences and story, especially focusing on the idea that she herself had gone through the same adversity that all other victims have. And then she moves forward to tell how she managed to pick herself up from the ground, by the help of her undying faith. All of us eventually become victims in life, not always of abuse but of all forms of problems and adversities. And because of the pain that we harbor, we sometimes start to push God out of our lives. We start believing that we are alone, but the truth is we are not. And this precisely is what Beauty for Ashes is saying. It is impossible for us to turn back time and prevent the wrong things from happening to us, but what we can do is to take what we have in the present and rebuild ourselves. In addition, Meyer also discusses the forward topic of seeking revenge. It is fairly understandable how avenging themselves could be the first thing that occupies the minds of the victims after their experiences. Given the pain they've been forced to take, having kind and forgiving thoughts is really hard. But Meyer says that victims should forget about these thoughts, as only God alone has the right to punish wrongdoers The only person that can talk about sensitive matters such as standing up from having been abused is someone that has the right amount of knowledge on them. It is admirable how Joyce Meyer decided to help her readers by dissecting her very own personal story in this book. It was honest, it was painful, but it was beautiful. Beauty for Ashes is a recommended read for everyone who is trying to move on from the pains of the past. You could be an abuse victim yourself or you simply hope to be able to understand the things that these people are going through, then getting a copy of Beauty for Ashes is what's for you.

10:42 pm	Battlefield of the Mind - Winning the Battle in Your Mind by Joyce Meyer Christian author Joyce Meyer wrote the book Battlefield of the Mind in the aim to give solution to people who fall victims to their own negative mindsets. Our minds, as we are all fully aware of are very complicated yet very powerful things, as they can control everything about us. Battlefield of the mind tells readers how they could learn to acquire full control over their thoughts. We are all familiar with the seemingly ordinary emotions that we get everyday: confusion, doubts, worry, anger, anxiety and depression. And we are also aware of how even just one of these can affect our lives greatly.. We forget how to smile, we become absorbed by bad moods, we treat others coldly, and we become indifferent altogether. In more basic terms, we are throwing away our lives. But hope is not really lost as we can fight and win against these negative thoughts. If we only know where and from whom to derive our strength, we can win the battle in our mind. Guessing the method that the book suggests is quite easy of you have read Meyer's books before. Indeed, it is only through the one and only Holy Father that you can ask for your victory. Battle of the Mind is structured to give guidance for readers to know what they should do to seek for the only weapon that could help them through the war. Meyer will guide you in searching for the words that God would like you to keep in your mind rather than your own negative thoughts. For only through adopting the message of God can we truly fight the war. And although the topic is very serious, Meyer will never fail to entertain and keep you interested with her punches of humor every now and then. I have to admit, sometimes regardless of how beautifully written the message of a book can be, if it doesn't offer any excitement to the table, I do get bored. Meyer, though, can assure you that you won't get your eyelids droop even for just half a millimeter. In the end, Battlefield of the Mind is one astounding masterpiece. Joyce Meyer's life alone can stand proof with how much things could change just by letting God fill up your mind, and even the readers who have bought this book before openly speak their appraisal for it. Meyer's easy-to-comprehend style and format are very suitable for all kinds of readers. We need not be caged by the negativities of our thoughts, if only we learn to follow the direction that God wants them to go. So what are you waiting for, if you want to win the battle, grab a copy of the Battlefield of the Mind now. Also see Be Anxious for Nothing and Beauty for Ashes Books. (Comment on this)
9:58 pm	Approval Addiction - Overcoming Your Need to Please Everyone by Joyce Meyer One thing that a lot of people have is this so-called "Approval Addiction", and this is what Christian writer Joyce Meyer suggests we should fight.. You may think that you are living your life fearlessly and confidently, but perhaps you are not just fully aware of what your actions say about you. Let's say that you are already late for work so you are running. But then a random person walks toward you and asks for your assistance with some problem. What do you think will you do? I'm pretty sure that you will stop and help this person. Now, as much of a good deed it is, it is also unreasonable. You are running late for work, remember? If ever you refused to help this stranger, it is not because you do not want to help them; but still you chose to agree. You can look at this situation and say that you're just being selfless. Then again, if you reassess the situation, you will see that you are actually being more selfish. Let's say you do help this person even amidst the fact that you are running late, in the end you get something in return, which is th feeling of accomplishment. Plus, if you successfully help this person, you get their approval which makes you feel more great. This is the message that Joyce Meyer's Approval Addiction wishes to talk about. Most of us are so willing to get the respect and favor of other people, even if we put ourselves and more important things on the line. We all love the feeling that we get when someone likes what we are doing, and so we strive hard to get this feeling. Then again, Meyer did call this 'addiction' if it weren't a bad thing. The reason why we are here in the this world is to help people, but not to collect praises from them. Doing deeds as we know is indeed what God would have wanted for us. But doing good things for the sake of other people's approval is not. All this time, we are striving to get approval from these people - friends, family, colleagues, and random strangers. But we forget who is the most important of all, the only one whose approval really matters. We were so focused to make everyone else happy, that we did not care if we were making God happy as well. Approval Addiction is a great way for us to break free from the ties of society. Remember the phrase "Learn to say NO"? Well, that's what Meyer wants us to do. We should not be afraid to voice out our opinions, and we should not be afraid to fight for the things we believe in. Christian or non-Christian, if you are living your life based on other people's opinion, Approval Addiction is certainly what you should read. Checkout more Joyce Meyer Books at Christian Book Store.

11:49 am	Becoming Familiar about the Christian Calendar People often understand the term "Christian calendar" and yet not know how it came about or how it even began. Plenty of people use the calendar and continue to do so every day; however, not that many know how it came to be used. Uses of Christian Calendar The title Christian calendar is used to refer to the actual calendar that people use every day. Even when the Christian calendar was created before the Christian Rome, it is still the term that's used for it. A Christian calendar is composed of 12 months, starting from January until December. There is a total of 365 to 366 days in one entire year. There are 7 days in one week and about four weeks make up one month. Throughout history, there were two kinds or versions of the calendar; the first being the Julian Calendar and the second one being the Gregorian Calendar. The one difference between these two kinds, however, is the way that these calendars will go ahead and calculate the way Easter is calculated as well as the length of the year. Let's discuss these two calendars in a more detailed manner. First, the Julian calendar was first used when Julius Cesar proclaimed it in 45 BC. By the 1500s, before it was replaced, it was still actively used. However, you will still find some churches who continued to use this calendar until the 1900s and in fact, some churches still do so even today. Alternatively, the current Christian calendar that's in use today is the Gregorian calendar. It replaced the Julian calendar as proclaimed by Pope Gregory XIII since the Julian calendar was found to contain several errors. For more info, visit this related site about Christian Calendar.

8:55 pm	Why Examine Christian Fiction Books? People today somewhat channel discrimination towards Christian fiction books. Most of them think that since it is labeled as Christian, it will just be about blatant displays of Christian values and faith, hence, they would rather not bother even opening the first page. Christian Fiction Books Holds Different Beliefs There is no denying that you can find plenty of people who are interested in fiction books, but most of them think twice before picking out a book with a Christian theme, especially if they are not Christians themselves. What they don't realize is that they are missing out on so many great Christian fiction books by doing so. Being termed as Christian fiction often doesn't mean that all of the themes will be outwardly religious or obviously displaying Christian teachings. In fact, most Christian fiction authors only subtly incorporate religious teachings in their story, unless it was pertinent to the plot. For example, there is C.S. Lewis. Lewis was an awesome Christian writer and he wrote books that are loved and gave entertainment, but only subtly incorporate Christian beliefs. Reading Chronicles of Narnia will give you a chance to notice how Lewis creatively attached his faith to his characters and plot; which makes it hard to draw the spiritual interpretation unless you were a scholar. As you can see, there is no reason for you to not pick up a Christian themed fiction book written by Christian authors. They might incorporate their faith in it, but it doesn't mean that they will smother you with it. It won't work that way. Thus, there is no reason for you to not get into the habit of reading Christian fiction books. Additional information about Christian Fiction Books here (Comment on this)
