Joyce Meyer has written a brand-new Biblical study on the book of Colossians. It was written by Paul while he was in prison and he wrote it in a style of a letter to the Colossians. In this book, he discussed the importance of putting God first in your life. Joyce shared how the first chapter of the book contains 12 keys on how we can grow spiritually. These included living in the will of God, being thankful, living in faith, holding on to hope, rejoicing in suffering, and how we have everything we need in Christ, and much more. In the book, she explained to readers on how they can find out if they are living in the will of God and the difficult people facing in figuring out what they are called to do. One of the critical points she makes is that people need to be courageous and they need to step out and try and not to live in fear. And if they realize that they aren’t living in the will of God, then they can take a step back and try something else. She explained her own past with trying the church’s nursery, street evangelism, and a secretary to her pastor. She didn’t find her true fulfillment and calling until she began to teach people God’s Word. Another key area, she looked at was when Paul recommended the power of thanksgiving and how we need to thank God when we pray. We always need to be thanking God for everything He has given to us.
I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is looking for a new study book. I immensely enjoyed how in-depth Joyce Meyer went into the book of Colossians. She explained the scope of each chapter broken down until everyday language where readers can understand. I also liked how she included other verses from the Bible to explore the topics of Colossians in the greater focus of the Bible. I love how she also went into details about exploring the image of God and how we have been saved from the darkness. One of my favorite chapters was the one on knowing who you are in Christ and she broke down scriptures for us to medicate on. These topics included, being strengthen in Christ, being rescued from darkness and evil forces, being thankful, being complete in Him, being chosen in Christ. I truly believe if believers would study and speak life over their lives and they would see their lives improve and change. This book has the potential to greatly influence and help readers to grow in their relationship with Christ.
