She supports her assertions with Scriptures -- which I love, since, as Christians, we are to be rooted in the Word if we are to overcome battlefields, like those that seek to conquer our minds.

Things were often taken out of context to make a point that wasn't in the original meaning, but I think that's par for the course when discussing religion. There's a premise that I couldn't get behind, and this is especially present in the first two sections. If someone is going through a temporary rough time, such as after a divorce, this book might be helpful. Worry, doubt, confusion, depression, anger and feelings of condemnation: all these are attacks on the mind.Various scriptures taken from the Amplified Bible, as well as King James, are spread throughout the book, validating Meyer's teachings on the mind. It is quite common knowledge now that Joyce Meyer has gone under the knife (I thought she was hotter before, as a friend told me I was the type that would always choose the before pictures on those infomercials, and he's right).

Much of the book is devoted to getting the reader to change their thinking and discusses how to tear down the "strongholds" that the devil tries to set up in the mind. I strongly believe so many people's problems come from the simple refusal to just grow up and take responsibility for our thoughts and actions. I was surprised and taken back by Joyce Meyor's no nonense, cut and dry approach in her teaching of the true nature of spiritual warfare and the battle that is happening all the time.I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about how to cope with problems as a Christian.

It seemed to me too, that by the end of the book, Joyce's vocabulary was expanding, and her prose growing sharper (I realize that she has written over 70 published books). This book reminds us to pay attention to our thought life because our mind is the battlefield where the spiritual battle for our soul is taking place.As I step out in faith, and begin to interpret what was spoken, I make the message understandable to all.
