Synopsis

The bodies God gives are instruments for experiencing a fulfilling life on earth, for doing good works, for spiritual development. To do the work individuals are meant to do, they need to keep in shape. They must maintain a sound mind, body, and soul. Yet in the modern world, it is all too easy to let one, two, or all three of these slip. LOOK GREAT, FEEL GREAT presents Joyce's twelve-key plan to address the epidemic of "self esteem drought" that appears to be a factor in perpetuating habits that create poor health.Additionally, Joyce will provide helpful resources, like the "Ounce of Prevention Checklist," for self-maintenance.

Author Bio

Sometimes we cannot know the difficulties people go through, unless they are willing to share their experiences. Such is the life of Pauline Joyce Hutchison, now, Joyce Meyer, Christian author, speaker, and president of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Joyce spoke often in her discussions about being sexually abused by her own father after he returned from World War II. As happens many times to such children, she married shortly after her senior year in high school, done usually to be able to leave the home where abuse happened. That marriage lasted only five years and was filled with unhappiness with a cheating husband. He even persuaded her to steal against her own better judgment. She says that she returned that money years later. After her divorce, her life was very tumultuous as she went from bar to bar aimlessly, until one day she met her future husband, Dave Meyer, an engineering draftsman. They were soon married, and remain married today.

Joyce relates her story of "a Jesus moment" when she was driving to work one day in 1976. She said as she drove she heard God call her name. All day she felt energized with the spirit of God, even as she participated in bowling at the local bowling alley that night.

Meyer began serving in a local church in St. Louis, leading an early morning Bible class. Eventually, the church became one of the most popular in the area, mostly due to Meyer's popularity as a Bible teacher. At the same time, she began a 15 minute radio broadcast on a local radio station.

In 1985, Meyer started her own ministry called "Life in the Word". By then, she was on six additional stations including Chicago and Kansas. Her husband Dave suggested she start a television ministry in 1993, which was the beginning of her current program, "Enjoying Everyday Life, which still airs today.

Meyer has written over 100 books, and has sold and given away billions of copies. In 2002, Hachette Book Group paid Meyer over $10 million for her catalog of independently released books. In 2005, Time magazine named Meyer among their "25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America". Meyer was ranked at number 17. "Joyce is and continues to be an incredible testimony of the dynamic, redeeming work of Jesus Christ."

I used this book to help me start getting in shape. After reading it I started walking at least 30 min per day,drinking water which I really didn't want to do, and in general trying to eat healthy. I am proud to say that I have lost 25 lbs and feel pretty good.......more

Goodreads review by Jaclyn on March 18, 2010

I listened to this one on audio and it started out really great. Unfortunately it began to feel repetitive and long by the end of the "book". I will admit that this is not my first introduction to the necessity and benefits of healthy habits and exercise, and it felt like this book was geared toward......more

I have been a fan of Joyce Meyer for quite some time, but just started reading her books. This is the first one. I appreciate her message in helping us deal with the whole diet, exercise and weight issues that so many of us face, me included. I already knew a lot of the information, however she remi......more

Goodreads review by Shelly on September 12, 2011

I have been blessed to pick up several books over the last few weeks that have been just what I needed in my personal "gas tank" and this was one of those little boosts! I thought that the explanations and examples provided about the body's way of handling food and such were great and made things ve......more

Goodreads review by Hannah on August 27, 2011

She did not have new information or techniques really new to me (as some one who reads a lot of weight loss books), but she did say it in a new way. And her emphasis on the health-related and disease prevention side of getting in shape and eating healthy was blunt and convicting.......more
