I've
heard many people complain about their lives. They just don't like
life the way it is for them. “If you don't love your life,” Meyer
writes, “then you should do something to change it.” (ix)
We
may not be able to change our circumstances but we can always change
our attitude. Having a positive attitude is Meyer's message. We can
love our life because God has given us the tools to do so, Meyer
insists. She has filled this book with positive encouragement,
Scripture teaching, and great stories.
Meyer
knows about loving life when circumstances have not been pleasant.
Her past includes sexual abuse when young. She admits that her early
life was not one of optimism and trust in God. She shares how she has
learned to trust God and His provision. There are good suggestions
for changing attitudes, overcoming obstacles, looking forward to the
potential of each day, valuing time, trusting God, focusing on
blessings, learning true contentment, dealing with anger, and much
more. I like that she has included bullet points at the end of each
chapter to help us remember the major points of her teaching.
This
is classic Meyer. Her teaching is a positive and faith filled shot in
the arm. If you have read many of her books, much of this material
may be familiar. If you have never read Meyer, get ready for one
positive lesson after another based upon and woven through with
Scripture.
You
can watch Meyer teach on this subject here. You
can find out more about the book and watch the book trailer here.
My
rating: 5/5 stars.
