Our society has an insecurity epidemic. Women in particular compensate by pretending to be secure—a common response—which only leads to feelings of shame. Lack of self-confidence causes great difficulty in relationships of all kinds, and can even lead to divorce. In Confidently You, Joyce explores the characteristics of a woman with confidence, which include a woman who knows she is loved, who refuses to live in fear, and who does not live by comparisons.

Story
You have fear. And if you don't face your fear, it can paralyze you and hold you back from enjoying life to the fullest. The good news is God wants to give you the strength you need to beat fear and live courageously. That's why he tells you repeatedly throughout the Bible to "fear not" because he is with you. In Living Courageously, Joyce explains how you can overcome the debilitating power of fear by learning to confront and conquer any and every fear you have.

Difficult times are part of living in this world. However, God has provided a way for us to enjoy peace as part daily life. We can choose either to allow ourselves to be burdened with worry and anxiety or to live in the peace and joy that God wants for our lives. Joyce Meyer shows how to rely on God's strength during difficult circumstances by revealing the nature of God's peace as found in scripture. She explains how to trade anxiety for joy, develop a childlike attitude of faith, and give our worries to the Lord.

It's never too late for a new beginning. Look closely and you'll see that theme all through the Bible. Page after page, God delights in turning tragic endings into new beginnings. A childless woman conceives in her old age; a fearful, self-conscious shepherd becomes a leader of millions; and a prostitute becomes a wife and mother in the lineage of Christ. Every biblical fresh start reveals the amazing, awe-inspiring hope we have for our own new beginnings in God's plan for our lives.

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

Publisher's Summary
Everybody wants to be loved. We all need affirmation, acceptance, and approval. Let's face it: It feels good to be appreciated and admired. But when we depend on the approval of others to feel good about ourselves, it's impossible to have emotional stability or a healthy self-image. And when our value is based on how people see us rather than God's unconditional love for us, our desire for approval can become an addiction.
In The Approval Fix, number-one New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer gives you practical insights that will help you learn how to accept who you are and become the unique individual God created you to be. You'll experience greater confidence, deeper emotional stability, and healthier relationships - the life you're really longing for.
Today, discover the truth about God's love for you and approval of you. And enjoy the freedom to be the amazing person you can be in Him!

Good, but not THAT great! I expected more
Overall, this was good, but there are better stuff out there on being a “people pleaser!” I thought “Stop People Pleasing” by Patrick King was a lot better! “Not Nice” and “When I Say No, I Feel Guilty” have excellent reviews also, but I can’t vouch for them cuz I haven’t gone through them yet.
The Approval Fix talked about a Christian mentality to have, and some Bible verses to back up what the author said. I liked how the author used her own experiences as examples, and taught to have faith. However, I didn’t think she went that in-depth about why we are people pleasers, or give specific tactics or strategies other than having faith.
I expected more from such a famous author. I’m more hard in my reviews in established authors (admittedly I don’t like to screw over new authors with harsh reviews. Guess I’m too nice).
One thing about Joyce Meyer- I like her flavor of Christianity. Recently, I had a Christian from the chapel here (I’m on a military base in Iraq), who shoved down his flavor of Christianity down my throat. I thought he was rude and I want to confront him about it. His evangelical approach used ‘scare tactics’ and he was too extreme. Since dealing with him, I felt less inclined to read my Bible or daily devotionals. He left a bad flavor of Christianity in my mouth. I like Joyce Meyer’s loving, and not so abrasive approach to being evangelical much better. It might help bring me back to Christ.
