My review...
This is a companion devotional to Meyer's book, Healing the Soul of a Woman. It's designed to guide the reader through ninety devotions and encourage them through the daily obstacles along the way that may be holding them back.
I read the companion book, and I love devotionals, so I was happy to see this book. Meyer's didn't disappoint. Each entry begins with a Bible verse or quote, followed by a devotional message, and then a "Declare This" statement. Joyce shares her own personal stories and emotional wounds in an open and honest way to show that there are no shortcuts to healing. The author's advice is practical and encouraging.
A wide variety of subjects are dealt with, so there's likely to be something that most readers can relate to in this book. Topics/Titles include: Overcoming the Accuser, You are Free to Be Yourself, Setting Boundaries, Your Journey Is Unique, It's Time to Let Go, A Shame-Free Life, You Are Beloved, Trust God with the Heavy Loads, No Looking Back, and All Things are Possible.
My favorite part was perhaps the "Declare This" section. some empowering messages in this section include:
"I put my trust in God, and He never fails me."
"I will make the most of the special gifts God has given me."
"I will remember to rest my soul, just as I rest my body, as the Holy Spirit leads me."
The compact size makes this convenient to take while traveling, and it'd make a good gift, as well. I was surprised that it didn't contain a ribbon bookmark, but it's still a practical and inviting devotional overall.
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy, but I wasn't required to leave a positive review.
