7 THINGS THAT STEAL YOUR JOY by Joyce Meyer

*Warning:  spiritual/religious content.  Read at your own discretion.*







I picked up this book, Seven Things that Steal Your Joy:  Overcoming the Obstacles to Your Happiness, by Joyce Meyer over a year ago and started reading it, but got distracted with other books and didn't quite finish it.  I made a determination earlier this year that I was going to finish it, come what may, and, even though I started it back in February, I finally have finished it.  It's definitely worth reading.  Joyce goes over, as the title states, 7 things that steal our joy as well as 7 joy keepers:

Joy Stealer #1:  Works of the Flesh
Joy Keeper #1:  Be Led of the Spirit

Joy Stealer #2:  Religious Legalism
Joy Keeper #2:  Be Free in Christ

Joy Stealer #3:  Complicating the Simple Issues
Joy Keeper #3:  Be Uncomplicated

Joy Stealer #4:  Excessive Reasoning
Joy Keeper #4:  Be Confident in God

Joy Stealer #5:  Ungodly Anger
Joy Keeper #5:  Be Quick to Forgive

Joy Stealer #6:  Jealousy and Envy
Joy Keeper #6:  Be Outrageously Blessed

Joy Stealer #7:  Habitual Discontent
Joy Keeper #7:  Be Content

*Not finished.....will finish later.....
