review 1: This is my first experience with Joyce Meyer's work. The title, "Change Your Words, Change Your Life" is empowering. She covers the issue of personal communication at all angles. This is not a "how to" book that teaches methods to persuade and manipulate people to gain what we want. It is a "how to" book with methods to change within ourselves, in the way we communicate and choose our words. Meyer emphasizes the need to be positive in our responses, but she delves much deeper into the subject. There is more to this than smiling and bubbling our way around all the time. Sometimes the best communication is not to say anything at all. Not everything we think needs to be shared. Among the many rules Meyer provides to augment our life with our words are:Talk less and listen ... moremore.Complain less and compliment more.Criticize less and encourage more.Avoid gossip and do not jump on the bandwagon to condemn others.Only give your opinion when asked.Refrain from being judgmental.Even jokes can be hurtful so tread carefully when jesting.Mind your own business.If we must confront an issue, be firm but kind.and one of my favorites,Keep your word. If you say that you are going to do something, do it. There is a lot to this book and it is ironically very wordy. It is heavy on scripture and scattered with anecdotes. Overall, I enjoyed it and will take much of what I read to heart.
review 2: This is the first Joyce Meyer book I have read and it motivated me to read several of her other books. This book is great for anyone who is struggling with where they are in life. The message is very clear that words have a direct impact on our lives and that to see change, we need to change the way we speak. It certainly makes you think before you speak. I know that I am more conscious of my words and have benefited from being more calculated in my speech. less
