Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle of Your Mind

Product Information

If you’ve ever dealt with things like worry, doubt, confusion, depression, anger, condemnation…you've experienced firsthand the attacks in your mind. To back up her ideas she continually quotes passages of Scripture out of context or twists their meaning.

I knew who Joyce Meyer was but hadn't watched her on tv or listened to her preach, so I didn't come in with an opinion. I believe that a human has the capacity for evil without a fallen angel, or demon, or something else forcing him to it. But for serious issues that have required medical attention, I wouldn't recommend it, as it might have a condescending effect. Translation is an exact word-for-word account of the message, whereas in interpretation one person gives an understanding of what another has said, but in the interpreter's own style as expressed through his own particular personality.

As I step out in faith, and begin to interpret what was spoken, I make the message understandable to all. While I did not particularly care for Meyer's writing style - it felt too informal, too much like she wanted to be close with her readers - this was a good read. Joyce uses parables and many personal examples along the way- which makes the book very interesting to read. She is on cable and has her own tv program find in your tv guide for her listing and check her out I know u going to love her.

Secondly, the use of Scripture throughout the book shows that she is very God-centered in her intentions, even if I don't agree with everything she has to say. There's a premise that I couldn't get behind, and this is especially present in the first two sections. If you know someone who struggles with depression, negative thoughts, or gets bummed out from life then I would strongly recommend this book. No excuses, your mind is just that, YOUR mind and it is your responsibility to change it if it is not meeting your needs or working to better your life.Much of the book is devoted to getting the reader to change their thinking and discusses how to tear down the "strongholds" that the devil tries to set up in the mind. The latter half of the book (approximately) is filled with ten "Wilderness Mentalities" - reasons that the Israelites stayed in the desert for 40 years instead of going to the Promised Land - and she goes into depth explaining how they still apply to us today.
