Synopsis

When best-selling author Joyce Meyer posted "God's not mad at you" on Facebook, she didn't anticipate that her words would trigger thousands of responses of gratitude and relief. Apparently, many Christians struggle to reconcile their perception of God as both a loving parent and a stern judge.  In God Is Not Mad at You, Joyce will help those who haven't truly received God's love because they are afraid of his anger and disapproval. She explores the source of this confusion, so his genuine character can be better understood and his love can be experienced on an entirely new level. 
  Chapter titles include:  Perfectionism and Approval The Pain of Rejection Guilt and Shame Developing Your Potential Run to God, Not from Him Getting Comfortable with God "It is important for us to remember that God's anger is directed toward our sinful behavior rather than toward us. If you feel guilty right now and are afraid that God is mad at you, then you are miserable. But your misery can be immediately changed to peace and joy by simply believing God's word. Believe that God loves you and that he is ready to show you mercy and forgive you completely. Believe that God has a good plan for your life. Believe that God is not mad at you!" 

About Joyce Meyer

Sometimes we cannot know the difficulties people go through, unless they are willing to share their experiences. Such is the life of Pauline Joyce Hutchison, now, Joyce Meyer, Christian author, speaker, and president of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Joyce spoke often in her discussions about being sexually abused by her own father after he returned from World War II. As happens many times to such children, she married shortly after her senior year in high school, done usually to be able to leave the home where abuse happened. That marriage lasted only five years and was filled with unhappiness with a cheating husband. He even persuaded her to steal against her own better judgment. She says that she returned that money years later. After her divorce, her life was very tumultuous as she went from bar to bar aimlessly, until one day she met her future husband, Dave Meyer, an engineering draftsman. They were soon married, and remain married today.

Joyce relates her story of "a Jesus moment" when she was driving to work one day in 1976. She said as she drove she heard God call her name. All day she felt energized with the spirit of God, even as she participated in bowling at the local bowling alley that night.

Meyer began serving in a local church in St. Louis, leading an early morning Bible class. Eventually, the church became one of the most popular in the area, mostly due to Meyer's popularity as a Bible teacher. At the same time, she began a 15 minute radio broadcast on a local radio station.

In 1985, Meyer started her own ministry called "Life in the Word". By then, she was on six additional stations including Chicago and Kansas. Her husband Dave suggested she start a television ministry in 1993, which was the beginning of her current program, "Enjoying Everyday Life, which still airs today.

Meyer has written over 100 books, and has sold and given away billions of copies. In 2002, Hachette Book Group paid Meyer over $10 million for her catalog of independently released books. In 2005, Time magazine named Meyer among their "25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America". Meyer was ranked at number 17. "Joyce is and continues to be an incredible testimony of the dynamic, redeeming work of Jesus Christ."

Goodreads review by Joan on October 26, 2013

This latest book by Joyce is very practical. We Christians sometimes think that, since we are not measuring up to God's standards, He is mad at us. We might try to win his approval by doing good works. And there may be lots of issues keeping us from accepting that God loves us - perhaps from childho......more

Goodreads review by Christine on April 15, 2015

Joyce delivers truths from the Bible about God's unconditional love for us. She clearly states that there are false beliefs about God and about how we view ourselves, the latter determining how we relate to Jesus. He does not hold sins, mistakes or bad decisions against us. We are loved even in our......more

I love Joyce Meyer and this book did not disappoint. I came away from this book inspired and feeling much better about my relationship with the Lord. I was freed of some burdens I had been carrying for many years. I love the simplistic style Mrs. Meyer preaches and writes in. She can take very compl......more

Affirms what you already know about a loving God, or introduces you to a loving God, in case you didn't know... He is loving and faithful. So let go and move forward from your past, because God already has!......more

Goodreads review by Whole And on April 27, 2014

Not the usual genre of books I would recommend here but something intrigued me with Joyce Meyer's "God is Not Mad at You" and it was well worth the read. Meyer really lives up to delivering practicality of biblical concepts. Meyer's writing is grounded, honest and a wonderful resource for spiritual p......more
