This was my first book from Joyce Meyer and will not be the last. I really enjoyed the conversational tone throughout and the constructive assistance that this book offers throughout. I read this book in sections and went back and reread some parts. I would definitely recommend this one. Thanks for the ARC, NetGalley.

I have been reading Joyce Meyer books for close to 30 years now and I always get wisdom nuggets implanted into my spirit. I appreciate the way that Joyce doesn’t shy away from being vulnerable and authentic. It is her vulnerability that attracts me - to know in my heart that she struggles too and works alongside God to be an overcomer — this motivates me to not give up and do the same. I also appreciate that she provides practical things that we can do to apply Gods word to our lives. Some of the things I read were things I already know and already do - however they were also a good reminder to continue to do them and not give up or give in. Grateful for these reminders.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy. All opinions are truly my own.

The Pathway to Success is a very practical book from Joyce Meyer, to help us to discover a deeper understanding of what it means to seek success God's way. Our way is different than God's way. We need to understand success from God's way because it is higher than our way.

If there is one thing you can count on, it is that I love to read books written by Joyce Meyer. The Pathway to Success is no exception to that rule.

The Pathway to Success details eleven ways in which we can become successful people – both in our faith and in our everyday lives – not in the way the world defines success, but how God defines it. Ms. Meyer talks about the ways in which we can use Biblical principals to further ourselves both in life, in faith, and if we are called to it, in ministry.

We are treated to glimpses of how Ms. Meyer built up Joyce Meyer Ministries, which for me was a great thing to see. She uses these glimpses to show us how trusting in God and His leadership can help you to become a success by applying the principles she’s giving in the book.

One thing I love about Joyce Meyer is that she never claims to be perfect. She tells when she struggles with something – even if it is something she has struggled with for years. I also love that when she gives you a principle for being successful, she backs it up with Scripture – and she gives the references for those scriptures so you can go to your Bible and read it for yourself. There is nothing that bugs me more than seeing someone say “The Bible says…” and then not giving the references (like I mentioned in this review).

Am I saying that everyone will be able to put all eleven of these principles into action? No, because I don’t know your situation. Perhaps some of them won’t be actionable, but I believe most of the will. I know that I plan to start incorporating these principles into my life as soon as possible.

I gave this book five stars because I love Joyce Meyer and because The Pathway to Success is an excellent resource for finding Christian, Biblical ways to be a successful person. Not in the way the world defines success, but in the way God defines success.

"The Pathway to Success" by Joyce Meyer caught my attention because I greatly admire Meyer and have enjoyed several of her previous books. This latest work lives up to my high expectations. Meyer emphasizes that true success is achieved by fully relying on God, and she complements this message with chapters full of practical advice and actionable ideas. Throughout the book, she explores key concepts such as keeping God first, maintaining peace, and staying focused.

While the book may not present entirely new concepts, it offers excellent reminders that are both inspiring and motivational. I found myself highlighting numerous passages for future reference. For those seeking guidance on achieving success from a godly perspective, "The Pathway to Success" is a highly recommended read.

Thank you to FaithWords and NetGalley for providing an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Amidst a period of transition in my life, this book became a guiding light. Having recently made a significant change, I found myself questioning the conventional notions of success. But Joyce Meyer's 'The Pathway to Success' provided a refreshing perspective, rooted in the way Jesus perceives us. Meyer's relatable anecdotes and profound insights shed light on God's true definition of success. It arrived as a timely gift, offering exactly the encouragement I needed. Meyer's wisdom, grounded in scripture and personal experiences, is accessible to all. I eagerly await its hardback release so I can share it with others, empowering them to navigate their own journey to success guided by God's wisdom. With faith as our compass, success is not just a dream but a reality waiting to be embraced. Joyce Meyer's book is truly a treasure!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! Ironically I decided to read two books at the same time that are from authors with different views of the gospel. Prosperity gospel is not biblical in my opinion. Joyce Meyer has great things to say but her influence from prosperity gospel thinking kind of clouds things

The Pathway to Success by Joyce Meyer is the first book I've read by her. Each chapter dives a little in to her story, how she started, the obstacles along the way, but also how God showed her and directed her forward to where she is today. She weaves in great advice along with scripture to show you not only the path she has walked, but her successes, and honest failures as well, along the way. Not only does she give great advice for success, but she also includes "nevers", or things not to do, that will derail you from achieving success. All in all, an easy read that points us after God. Well done!
*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and FaithWords. This review is my own opinion*

The Pathway to Success is a book for the perfect time. What we think of as success and what God things tends to be different things. This book is so easy to read, and you will find a lot of good nuggets that you will hold on to for a very long time. Joyce has a way of just saying what needs to be said whether you want to hear it or not. We might think that God is not about success but to the contrary, He wants us to be successful in all areas of our lives. We just need to surrender to him and trust that He’s working things out for our good so he can lead us on our Pathway to Success. A lot of us think about success and tie our identities to the definition we craft. However, we need to understand God’s definition and not get caught up in this world and its unattainable definition. One of my biggest issues is my thought process and I have to be very intentional to think positively and dismiss the negative thoughts the enemy plants in my mind. Our thoughts affect how to behave, the decisions we make and ultimately our success. I’ve read quite a few of Joyce Meyer’s books and so I highly recommend this one. Be prepared to think differently.

This book is a true gem. It clearly lays out the steps to success, what it means and how to apply it. My goals have been redefined and I have fresh vision and motivation after having read this book.

There was a time in my life I was wondering if I was a low achieving person. I say that because I didn't feel the need for success or to climb the Corporate ladder.

As I learned more about my faith walk I began having an internal struggle with this term success and what it really means to me. I resolved or maybe I settled with the fact that I'm good with church, career and personal. To me what I'm blessed with is success to me. A relationship with God, family, a spouse and a job.

The very first page of this book opens with this quote by Albert Schweitzer "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful" Boom so here I am today no more struggle and I'm successful.

I'm grateful to have read this title to help me understand Godly not worldly success.

A galley copy of this book was shared in exchange for my thoughtful and honest review.

There is just not enough words to express how great The Pathway to Success is. I was blessed enough to be given a copy from NetGalley and oh my gosh it was just what I needed. This is my first Joyce Meyer book to read and I was not disappointed but raptured in her every word. She guides you on what success is to God. She not only uses Bible Versus to back it up but she also uses her own experiences.

The Pathway to Success is written in a way for everyone to understand and implement. It is easy to follow along. I took so many notes and cannot wait for the hardback to come out. I plan on giving it to my nieces and nephews so they can travel along their journey knowing that God wants success for them, you only have to listen to his word, do right by Him and live your life the way God wants you to. It will be hard work, but if you keep God at the forefront, knowing there will be ups and downs, your success will be well worth it. Just follow God's lead and create your Pathway to Success.

Wonderful book Joyce Meyers!

Mama Joyce always knows how to deliver the wisdom nuggets needed. In the same way she preaches, she approaches this book with practicality and little fluff. She gets right to the point. What is success? Bottom line: “Success is doing whatever we do for God and doing it in a way that pleases and brings glory to Him.”
So it’s different for everyone of us. She walks through finding out what God has called you to do (“God won’t call you to something you hate.”) then walks through what will help us do what God calls us to in a successful manner. Our thoughts, our self-image, our faithfulness, our self-discipline, our excellence and our integrity.

4.5/5⭐️! Thank you NetGalley and Faithwood for this early eARC of The Pathway to Success by Joyce Meyers.

This would be my first book by Joyce Meyers and it did not disappoint. After reading this, it made me go down my own memory lane and think of the experiences I’ve endured to get to where I am today. And it honestly really is amazing and struggles I’ve dealt with to get to where I am. The 12 ways to success is a good list to start following. I followed God until I sent to college and lost my way for about 2-3 years. How am I alive today still amazes me. When I became ready, I did find my way back and I can relate most during that stage is chapter 6 with Establishing Priorities. When I found my way back to Him, I faced my issues and fears straight on - I had to take care of myself for once and relearn who I was and what I wanted. I struggled alot during this period…and He never left my side. I did find my own therapist to help steer me along the way and to keep me on the path. That woman has been nothing but amazing and helping me understand my worth and what God wants for me.

This is a really great refresher of what I’ve learned and have gone through. I lost my third son at 21 weeks, and as much as it hurts I know that I will be okay. I attended group supports and met other families who had this common tragic. I went through periods of hating God and saying how it was unfair and why me- and I know that’s ok because I am only human and I am allowed to feel the feelings at that moment of grief. Anyways, with enough time and therapy sessions I am in such a better place. I have my son in Heaven waiting for me and he’s perfect and no longer in pain. I can focus on my living children and make sure that they are taken care of.

I have a lot more great things to say about this book and how your support group/tribe help you too. I couldn’t be where I am without them, my husband, and God. Things do happen for a reason and it’s not just coincidental moments in my life (there’s just no way it can be that).

This book is more than I honestly expected. It was fantastic and left me motivated and positive when finished.

In The Pathway to Success, Joyce Meyer explored the real meaning of being successful and understanding what God considers success. The world thinks we are successful if we have a good career, become famous, being wealthy, and receiving recognition. Scriptures explain that we are to be in the world but not of the world. A number of people we view as successful really are struggling with addictions behind the scenes and have poor relationships. Joyce teaches readers that our identity isn’t found in what we do. It is instead found in whose we are. Our true value is in our relationship with Christ. She walks readers through how we must first discover what’s in our hearts and what our purpose is. In the book, she opened up about her journey to her ministry. She included her story about her abuse, first marriage, divorce, marrying Dave, and growing her ministry through the different stages.





My favorite chapter was about words and how our thought affect our success. It first begins in our thoughts and then they will produce the words that will come out of our mouths. It has been estimated that the average person has 6,000 thoughts a day and often it is mixed with both positive and negative thoughts. We get to choose which we think about on a daily basis. She explained how critical it is to be extremely careful in how we talk about things and the danger in not allowing them to match up in our prayer life. We must pray and believe that good things will happen. We can see ourselves as successful and believe it. She teaches readers on how to rely on our faith and to speak words that will exercise faith and not allowing fear to control us. I also liked how she enclosed a special section about people who have succeeded and tips on how others have been able to do so. One of the ways is turning failure into a fresh start.




I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who ready to get on the path to success. In immensely loved the core message of this book and how God sees our success and what He views as being successful. I loved how she explained the importance of putting God first in our lives and how this will impact and change our entire lives. Another impactful lesson is the section on ten things God’s word says about us. These are very powerful scriptures to let get down into our spirit and let it change us. This book contains a vast knowledge of what is means to be successful.

I would like to thank the publisher, FaithWords, and netgalley for the opportunity to read Joyce Meyer’s new book “The Pathways to Success”.

Joyce Meyer is one of my favorite Christian authors. I always find her books inspiring, insightful, spirit led, Bible based and heart touching. Pathways to Success was no different.

Pathways to Success guides you on a journey to what God’s view of success looks like with scripture to back her thoughts. It also gives comparisons to how the world views success vs. how God views success. My oh my, how they differ.

This reading opportunity came to me at the absolute perfect time… dare we say, divine timing? During the past two years, I have opened a bakery called “best Ashe (our last name) bakery”. It has been a blessing in our lives, but often during the past two years have I grappled with what success means to me and how to attain it & retain it while staying true to my values. This book was extremely helpful in seeing that pathway illuminated by biblical teachings and Joyce’s words written specifically about biblical success.

There is a list towards the conclusion of the book that I found helpful as a reference point for future reminders.

I would recommend this book to any of my friends interested in a biblical perspective of success, business friends, or anyone looking to live a more successful life.

Well done, Joyce! ❤️

I think putting your best foot forward and always looking ahead not behind is such an important trait for any human being to have. Now, this is easier said than done, but something that we can all work on. Working and redefining ourselves is the epitome of being human. I think that sometimes we become so caught up on the hype and trying to please others before we please ourselves is so detrimental.

This author was able to bring out those lessons that we need to hear and learn in order to become our best selves!
