In "20 Ways to Make Every Day Better," Joyce Meyer offers practical and powerful ways to experience a new level of joy and excitement in life. Meyer provides actionable advice, uplifting stories, and biblical illustrations that encourage readers to pursue God's goodness each day. She highlights how one terrible day can easily turn into many, and how we can break this pattern by finding contentment and happiness in our lives. This book is an excellent resource for those seeking to improve their daily lives and live in the joy that God has intended for them.

This book really helped me move past the just looking at my circumstances and instead looking for something in every day that will renew my joy in Christ!

Let me start off by saying, that if you have read any of my other reviews of Joyce Meyer's work, you will know that while I love her writing, I can't stand the translation of the Bible that she uses in her work.

While she may have used that version in this work, it wasn't as obvious. Maybe passages were chosen that didn't have all of the distracting parenthesis and brackets that I so loathe, or she used a different translation. Whichever is the case, it worked for me. My prior complaints will not be cropping up in this review. So I am free to focus on the work itself.

Which was, classic amazing and insightful Joyce Meyer. She really has a gift and I love that she shares it with as many people as she can. She is so down-to-earth and yet full of seriousness for The Word. She seems like someone I could sit and have a cup of tea with, a good listener and an insightful conversationalist with Biblical knowledge.

As I was reading this, I realized that while I may not need this book right now, I have a friend who really could use this book at this time. I will be gifting it to her soon. I can see where this book is incredibly helpful to those living in a dark cloud of doom and gloom. It doesn't replace therapy or medical attention if it is warranted, but for those every day blues, this book would be a big help for those looking for help.

Please note, that if you are suffering from a mental disorder, please seek help. It isn't weak to get the help you need, it's strength to realize you have an issue and brave to face it and deal with it. I think this book could probably be a good tool to help, but getting professional attention is necessary for some issues and there is nothing wrong with that.

This has hit home with me recently in the past few months, as two of the employees in my company have committed suicide, one of them did it at work and was found by other coworkers. We get training on recognizing suicidal thoughts and behaviors every year, and yet it still happens with a stunning and depressing regularity. I'm begging you, if you have thoughts that you plan to or want to hurt yourself, GET HELP.

Sorry, didn't mean to make this a PSA for mental health, but the topic of the book leads to it I think. If you have "normal" (for want of a better word) every day blues or negativity, this book can be a big help. If you have something more severe, this book might be good to add alongside professional treatment.

5, we only get one life, we should be happy (state of mind, not things happening to you) and try to enjoy as much of it as we can, remember, God loves us ALL, stars.

My thanks to NetGalley and FaithWords / Center Street for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

I have tried to read this book a few times. Honestly, I did not enjoy it. I need more Bible centered books to teach and strengthen me. Unfortunately, I will not be recommending her books to others. But, I am thankful I was given the opportunity to read this book.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.

I love Joyce Meyer and all her books. This was no exception. I love the succinctness of her recommendations and her straight-forward manner. Highly recommended.

20 Ways to Make Every Day Better: Simple, Practical Changes with Real Results, by Joyce Meyer is an inspirational book about focusing on a life of joy and contentment.

The author writes about how everyone has tough days and difficult situations, yet personal reactions to these circumstances are quite vital. Also, Meyer expresses her concern about people living with these situations dictating their lives, rather than living a life of hopefulness and joyfulness with Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

According to the book summary: "Our impulse is to write today off and hope for a better tomorrow. However, this creates a hard pattern to break. One terrible day easily turns into many and soon we're living a life far from what God has in mind for us. A new transforming sense of excitement, happiness, and contentment in our lives is possible when we pursue God's goodness each day."

It's written in a conversational tone with the author's personal experiences, stories from friends, biblical illustrations, quotes, and scripture verses interspersed throughout the book.
This book is divided into four main parts: When You Awake, New Steps to Take, Patterns to Break, and Before It's Too Late. These parts are divided into twenty chapters, which reflect the book's title of 20 Ways to Make Every Day Better. The chapters include the following sections: Things to Remember and Suggestions for Putting...into Practice.

20 Ways to Make Every Day Better is geared towards all ages, from young adults to older generations, particularly women. It's an encouraging book that challenges people to focus on their lives and making every day better.

There's also a corresponding study guide, which will be featured in another review.


Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Always enjoy the practical teachings and life lessons of Joyce Meyer. Thank you for sharing her latest book w/ me. Have highly recommended it to all.

Another Great book by Joyce Meyer. She has a way of bringing the teachings of the Bible to what we are going through today.

I love Joyce Meyer's teaching. She is so down to earth, gets to the heart of things. Really if we just got the stuff she teaches the other things in our lives would fall into place.

She hit on so much that sucks the joy out of our days. One chapter in particular hit me so hard I was in tears. It was the chapter on dread. I live with a lot of it. I think because I struggle with the unknown, new situations that I have no idea what to expect. So therefore I dread a lot of things. I read it at a time that I needed it desperately. I wrote down all the scripture references to keep in the forefront of my mind.

Speaking of scripture, that is another thing about Joyce, everything she says is backed up by scripture. Her books are always rich in scripture references.

Each chapter is very short, so it won't take you long to read one a day and then put them into practice. These are very simple things but things we need to be doing to have better days which in turn will make us kinder and happier people to be around.

A great spiritual and practical overview on ways we can enjoy life as children in Christ. Some of it is basic but this book and work book is FULL of many much needed reminders for believer's day-to-day lives. Once again, bravo Joyce Meyer!

This book can be read in an hour and a half, but its contents can serve you for every day of your life. Although there are some things I did not like, in general the book is a good tool to guide us in our daily lives. Depend on God, that's the key to the book. Very good.

I requested this book mainly due to the author -- I follow her on social media and love her overall message. This was my first time to read one of her books, and I was a little underwhelmed. I think I had pretty high expectations, though.

There was nothing inherently BAD or WRONG about this book -- it just didn't resonate with me like I expected it to.

A book that everyone should have. Every day should be a good day and you can always find the good in them.

May resonate well with other readers; I didn't like the early message of the book that if you want something bad enough, and dream hard enough for it, that you will somehow get it.

Beautifully written book that gives very good insight on ways to make one's day better. The writing is presented as only Joyce Meyer's can She explains things very well and makes you want to study/read further. This book is a blessing to me. The study guide that is available for this title is a must. Thank you to the author,publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book in return for my honest review.
