Joyce Meyer; has come out with a new devotional. Broken into 100 days, she outlines all the ways we can unclutter our daily lives - the baggage we haul around with us that keeps us from a profound contentment and relationship with our Lord.

I enjoyed this book - each day is short and includes scripture. It gave me something to build on throughout each day and a way to improve my personal relationship with God.

I recommend this book for everyone who wants to break down the barriers to that relationship - unclutter your life and get back to the basics of what is truly important.

Thank you for the opportunity for review to the publisher, the author and Net Galley. My review opinions are my own.

This is a wonderful Christian based guide to simplifying our lives and stop the need to constantly on schedule with activities. This is a wake up and a intelligent well written guide to making changes in our everyday lives. I have already put many of her suggestions into place. Joyce Meyers is relatable and a wonderful author.
This is not another unclutter your home book. This is a sensible guide to learning to say no to obligations, how to better appreciate doing less activities and stop the level of busy to have a more peaceful meaningful. life. I love that the author guides the reader to appreciate time with the Lord as a priority and quality time with family. My own family has designated Sunday as no technology family day and we enjoy the easy relaxed pace of worship, excericse together, board games and cooking meals together. These suggestions really do work. I love the suggestion of creating a "Margin Of TIme" between activities for ourselves. A wonderful read I highly recommend for all Christians and those seeking to improve their lives. I look forward to gifting this to friends ,

I love to listen to Joyce Meyer's teachings and always enjoy her wisdom and no nonsense insights. She has a heart for ministry and teaching the word of God. Her insights are simple yet profound.

I have ready many of Joyce Meyer's books and found them inspiring. This book. with 100 different chapters, that are only few pages long, would work well as a daily devotional. After reading through it, I plan to use it that way in the future.

Another 5 star book!

As Joyce Meyer’s books are Christian-based this may not appeal to all. If you are Christian, even remotely, I’d recommend taking a peek. When it comes to religion-based writing, I often find myself overwhelmed or even turned off. Joyce Meyer is consistently relatable, and keeps her wording terse. I find myself comforted and inspired when I read or listen to her.

The Joy of an Uncluttered Life is highly digestible. There are 100 succinct lessons that could be read once daily or all at once to bring some ease to your life. It could be useful during times of overwhelm, or just a lovely guide for creating peace.

Thanks to both NetGalley and FaithWords for allowing a digital ARC upon request.

Add this to your TBR for June 3….it was extraordinary. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Joyce Meyer @joycemeyer has always amazed me with her talent for writing with such a Godly, and encouraging outlook on life. Over the years I have really looked forward to her devotionals. They always leaving me feeling so refreshed. Her books are always so chalked full with wonderful scripture that I cherish. Even though I’ve heard that scripture, it’s the way she presents it. It keeps me pondering on it for days. This year my husband and I had our fourth little one and stepped back from a lot of things. It was really tough, but we knew it was the year to focus on adjusting to a life with four kids, and really prioritizing our them, our marriage, our faith, and ourselves. This book hit home for me. It was just what I needed in this season of “busy”. Kids activities, the day to day school prep, house chores, keeping up with friends, being a wife, and trying to take a bit for myself as well as my faith walk. I feel like so many people can relate and would really enjoy the thoughts in this book. I hear so many people say how life is just busy and things are always chaotic. My favorite line in this one was, “I remember complaining to God one time how busy my schedule was, -and then realizing that I was the one that made my schedule, and I was the only one that could change it.” Thank you @joycemeyer @netgalley @faithwords for this advance copy. #joycemeyer

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This one was not exactly what I expected. It was a little hard to get into. I wish that Joyce Meyer weren't a part of the prosperity gospel movement.

The short chapters make taking in the Scripture-packed, practical ideas easier. We are busy and distracted, and we make things much more complicated than they need to be. Keeping our focus on the Lord and His Word simplifies our lives and the work we do. I wouldn't say there was anything groundbreaking or new in this book, but it was an easy and refreshing read.

How do you function when there are multiple demands, many people tugging at you, and lots of things to maintain?

"Everyone" has probably heard of Joyce Meyer, a high-capacity female pastor with a global reach. If not, this will be a good introduction. She's got a lot of irons in the fire and a lot to say, but somehow she manages to find balance. How? Be keeping the most important things as the core and not focusing on trivia and distractions.

You can do the same. If you feel like your life is too full, Meyer offers 100 days of finding freedom by evaluating what is true, noble, and right and shedding the rest. Each practical snippet highlights a scriptural principle that will anchor you in what matters most: loving God and loving others.
