In
The Confident Woman, Joyce Meyer draws on her decades of experience interacting with and ministering to women. Her message is also the result of her personal journey from insecurity and self-hatred to a confidence through which she is realizing her full potential.
Through her classic clarity and practicality, you'll learn how to embrace the plan God has for you and discover true confidence through faith in Christ! Meyer gives you the keys to identifying confidence barriers, explores the empowerment that comes from preparation, and outlines the steps to independence through dependence on God. She explores the seven characteristics of a woman with confidence, which include a woman who knows she is loved, who refuses to live in fear, and who does not live by comparisons, "if onlys," or "what ifs." An exciting, meaningful, and intentional life awaits as you learn how to live beyond fear and begin living boldly. God is anxious to light the way and supply every need for walking with confidence!
Bestselling author Meyer encourages women to boldly embrace all that God created them to be by finding their true confidence. She explains that confidence stems from being positive in one's actions, living honestly, and having faith.
Meyer's Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind has been one of religious publishing's great recent success stories, and her new book develops further the approach that proved so popular in that title. Making continual reference to Christian Scripture, Meyer guides women readers toward a deeper appreciation of their own strengths, moving them past their fears and society's false ideas and toward "boldness." Meyer represents a fascinating adjustment of conservative Christianity to some of the ideas that feminism has introduced into the general culture she and her ilk are Christian women but are in no way passive sufferers.

Megaselling author Meyer (Approval Addiction; Battlefield of the Mind) turns her pointed pen to building confidence in women. She defines confidence as "all about being positive about what you can do-and not worrying over what you can't do." She quickly moves into describing God's view of women ("God never intended for women to be less than men in anyone's estimation") and what the Bible says about women in ministry, offering her interpretation of the Apostle Paul's controversial comments in 1 Corinthians. Meyer's quick jabs become less defined as she describes the seven secrets of the confident woman; rattles on about the Proverbs 31 woman; lists 10 women who overcame barriers to become leaders; and then describes 10 steps to female independence. The last seven chapters focus on how women can eliminate fear from their lives. As usual, Meyer presents a relentlessly upbeat message to her legion of eager readers: be confident, here's how, get going. It's a vital message to be sure, but discerning readers might prefer fewer platitudes and examples, less repetition and a bit more depth. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

I listened to the audio version of the book, and thought it was fantastic. Joyce has a special way of teaching us how to apply the Word of God to our lives every day. She has not only helped me gain my confidence back, but has renewed my faith in God. This book is great for any woman who has encountered difficulty in her life, and desires to become centered and strengthened in the Lord to pull her through.

This woman teaches heretical doctrine. Check her out on sermon audio. Please be careful. Not everyone who says "Lord Lord" does the Father's will.
