Eat the Cookie...Buy the Shoes
Giving Yourself Permission To Lighten Up
by Joyce Meyer
-information taken from www.faithwords.com
Engrained in our culture is the belief that unbending discipline is the only sure way to success. You must go to the gym five times a week, never order the dessert, and don't even think about buying that dress you keep staring at in the store window. Breaking from such a regimented lifestyle is a sign of weakness, right? Wrong!-and Joyce wants to tell us why...
Though setting rules in our lives are important, it's just as important that we break them from time-to-time. Structure is a powerful tool, but when diverging from your own goals is seen as catastrophic, it can have a hugely negative effect on us. Balance is a core value in life and every once in awhile we deserve to indulge in a guilty pleasure or two. So don't feel bad about straying from your goals every once-in-awhile and in fact, embrace it: eat the cookie and buy the shoes!
Joyce Meyer's new book Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoe promo:
MY REVIEW
I absolutely adore this book. I have read a whole bunch of Joyce Meyer's books and I think Eat the Cookie... Buy the Shoes is my favourite yet! It is written in Meyer's typical down-to-earth fashion which makes it easy to understand and relate to. There is a ton of practical advice and good sound biblical teaching too. There really is nothing bad to say about this book.
I would really encourage you all to read this one!
