    Get Your Hopes Up will have you expecting something good to happen everyday, and guess what? It can happen! How you ask, it's about faith and knowing that God has something good in store for you if only you have the faith to hope! Well it's easy to wonder how, when life might have you down or discouraged but that's where Joyce Meyer's new book plays a role, she is like the girlfriend that everyone needs she uplifts and encourages, and basically becomes a cheerleader as she guides you on your path to hoping for all that God wants you to have in your life! Ms. Meyer's no nonsense way of teaching is easy to relate to and understand. It's like sitting down with an old friend as she imparts what God has placed on her heart to share with her readers. There are so many important gems of wisdom implanted into the pages of "'Get Your Hopes Up" but the one thing that is always a constant with Ms. Meyer is the fact that she backs up her teaching with scriptures from the Bible, and this is something that readers will find in each of the seventeen chapters of this book! A wonderful book that would make an excellent group study, but honestly it's a book for anyone needing a spiritual boost. It really isn't wrong to hope for more, after all God wants the best for his children!

    A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review.

    I love reading Joyce Meyer books. Each one is like an energetic shot in the arm. That's exactly what this one is.

    We need to have hope, Meyer reminds us. Hope precedes faith. We need confident anticipation to have faith. We need hope because we cannot function successfully in life without it. It needs to be a hope directed towards God.

    Her book is filled with practical encouragement and suggestions about hope. She helps us raise our expectations and learn to trust God. She is specific in helping us develop our hope in times of struggle and hurt, cautioning us about looking for hope in the wrong places.

    I really like her suggestion that we inventory our blessings. We can concentrate on what we have and not on what we think we have lost. She encourages us to speak positively, look for the good in everything, help others, and make hope a habit. She gives some great examples of people and what hope has meant to them.

    The best lesson I took from this book is that we must hope on purpose. Every morning we can choose to complain or be full of hope. We can choose our attitudes, thoughts, words, and actions. (81)

    Meyer never lets us forget that the foundation for our hope must be God. She continually aims our focus in His direction. She reminds us of Romans 5:5, that those who put their hope in God will never be disappointed or put to shame.

    If you need a positive shot in the arm, read this book. It is full of Scripture based encouragement to keep our hope in God operating to its fullest.

    Here are a couple of quotes to get you excited.

    If you don't expect God to do anything great, He won't. (9)

    The best way to receive hope is to give it away. (127)

    I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher for the purpose of an independent and honest review.

    "Evaluating our hearts is an important exercise as we begin this journey of hope together, because hope in God and positive expectation are very closely related to faith. For the sake of discussion, we can easily say that the level of your expectation is the level of your faith. Show me a person with low expectations, and I'll show you a person using very little faith. But show me a person with big expectations, and I'll show you a person acting with bold faith." (pg 7).

    In her latest book, Get Your Hopes Up, Joyce Meyer tackles the issue of hope. Finding it, understanding what it is, how to keep it and what does the Bible say about it. Like all good Joyce Meyer's book. Mama Joyce gives readers the bold and honest truth. Not something sugar coated to make you feel good, she preaches like the best of them. I love the many aspects of hope you will find in this book and perhaps my favorite is that of what Joyce called spiritual possums. Whenever a difficulty or storm comes into their life, they play possum. They stop moving as if they have hit an impenetrable wall and their faith and hope go right out the window.

    Rather than getting active, they get passive. When times get tough, when they're dealing with pain or disappointment, they freeze. They just stop moving. Does this sound familiar? Have you ever found yourself in a holding pattern because of an unexpected trial or a crushing disappointment? I want to encourage you in the midst of your pain that sometimes the very best thing you can do is just keep moving. You may not have all the answers yet. You may still be shocked by the circumstances around you. You may even feel like the world is caving in around you. In the midst of those difficulties, if you'll just keep moving, it will help you not to become hopeless." (pg 87).

    There is so much great advice to counter all the negative self talk we've become accustom to and the one huge take away for me, was that hope is a powerful thing, but it doesn't thrive in an atmosphere of can't! Joyce uses her own personal stories and that of others to help draw us to the conclusion that we can find hope in any situation if we are but willing to look and trust God to help us as our first resource not our last one as we are prone to do.

    I received Get Your Hopes Up by Joyce Meyer compliments of Faith Words, a division of Hachette Book Groups for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation aside from a free copy of this book in exchange for my personal and honest evaluation. Like all of Joyce's books that are in my personal library, this will be a book I will consult quite often when I need a good dose of reality. Friends and family can mean well but often times, they don't make us feel any better when we need the God's honest truth, to get us back into the game of life again. Joyce's book does just that. For anyone facing a difficult time or situation, this is the perfect book to help them move past the situation for now and see what God has in store for them today. Well worth all of the 5 out of 5 stars in my opinion.

    I am a true fan of Joyce Meyer. I enjoy reading her books and listening to her on television. I know it sounds silly, but I think about Joyce every time I walk into a public bathroom. On one of her programs, Joyce shared about walking into a public restroom and finding paper towels all over the floor. She was prepared to walk out and leave the mess, then stopped. I dont remember her exact words, but remember her point: Jesus came to serve others, not to be served. Are any of us above picking up a mess, even if its not OUR mess. Joyce stopped and picked up the paper towels before she left the restroom and after I heard her story, I do too.

    Joyce reminds us to GET OUR HOPES UP we have a SAVIOR who loves us and is so much more important that anything we go through on this earth! Joyce shares pointers on how we can walk in Hope (and VICTORY) every day!
