Meyer, of Joyce Meyer Ministries and author of Be Anxious for Nothing and dozens of other titles, is an apt representative of a certain strand of American Christianity: indubitably conservative but ebullient, upbeat, and focused on the cheerier components of the Christian message rather than more sobering issues such as self-examination or justice. The author is also immensely wealthy, profiting from book revenues and other compensations; her ministry is an industry. It is hard to dislike this stridently upbeat little book, with its emphasis on blessings and hope but also hard to be surprised that Meyer herself, like other proponents of the "prosperity gospel," is so chipper—she has so much to be happy about. VERDICT Meyer's dedicated readers will want this volume, but it is unlikely to interest a wider readership.
