Confidently You by Joyce Meyer
I always love reading Joyce Meyer's books because she takes a topic and makes it understandable to everyone and Confidently You is no exception.
If you're a human being, you've more than likely struggled with self-confidence. I'll admit to you that even in my mid-50s, I still struggle with self-imposed confident limitations and there are so many good nuggets in this book that strike at the heart of confidence.
The book walks the reader through the steps to becoming a more confident person starting with where your confidence comes from.
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. Jeremiah 17:7 (NIV)
Confidence is nothing if it doesn't come from God. Self-confidence is reliance on self. Frankly, I am not the one to be pouring confidence into myself. I'm just not that confident! God is the only one who can give me that boldness to be confident.
Each chapter walks the reader through a different piece of the confidence pie and there are companion questions and Bible verses to spur the reader on to further investigate their growth. Some of the topics covered are positivity, comparison, fear, and perseverance. Deep subjects with large lessons.
This book is one that the reader is going to want to sit with a highlighter and pen to mark up the pages. There was a lot of good information that I'll want to go back and read and review from time to time. Each time I go through the book there is more and more lessons to take in. With the book's compact size, it's easy to throw in your bag to take along for those times you have a short break and it's a lot more productive than sitting and scrolling on your phone.
