Editorial Reviews

08/31/2015
Meyer (Battlefield of the Mind), a speaker and television personality, empowers the reader to take charge of life and live it in an active and full way. Drawing from personal experiences—including being horribly abused as a child—Meyer shows how positive thinking can make a pathway to new and assured ways of living. She believes that life changes truly begin to happen when aconfident perspective is coupled with thoughts on consciousness, awareness, and teachings from the Bible. "God has given us the fruit of self-control that we might be able to allow or disallow behaviors in our own lives," she writes. Many references to scripture and Christian spiritual practice provide the reader with a map of proactive steps toward feeling better about each day. Meyer often discusses physical ailments that tax her day-to-day life, yet is able to look beyond the pain. This is balm for the Christian soul and will appeal to the believer looking for concentrated practice on the spiritual side of life. (Sept.)
