From Booklist ( /gp/feature.html/?docId=1000027801 ) ---------------------------------------------------- Best-selling Christian author and speaker Meyer offers her patented blend of scriptural stories and inspiring tales. Meyer divides the book into three sections: New Beginnings, What’s Stopping You?, and Today Is Your Day. The text is full of stories from ordinary people who were stuck and became unstuck. She juxtaposes these with comparable Bible stories as well as personal anecdotes. Scattered throughout is practical advice such as making up your mind to live differently, understanding your history is not necessarily your destiny, forgiving those who have hurt you, letting go of past mistakes, and the value of small beginnings. Some of the it’s-never-too-late stories are of well-known people such as Harland Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame; Lauren Scruggs, the fashion journalist and blogger who lost her left eye and severed her left arm in a horrific accident; and the persistence of a carpenter-turned-actor named Harrison Ford. Whether her subjects are famous or not so famous, Meyer makes sure there is always a lesson to be learned. Sure to resonate with Meyer’s many fans. --June Sawyers Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) About the Author ---------------- Joyce Meyer is one of the world's leading practical Bible teachers.
