Product Description Many want a simple life, but find it difficult to actually live that way. They fight a constant battle to balance work, family, friends, and other demands on schedules stretched too thin. Joyce Meyer breaks it down to the simple principle of exercising faith rather than doubt and confidence rather than people-pleasing. She writes from her experience of struggling to balance work, family, friends, and all the other demands on limited time to show readers the simple answer to a simpler life. Joyce gives these and other practical and easy to implement ideas for finding real joy:
Live to glorify God
Let go of what lies behind
Choose your battles
Don't be afraid of what people think
Trust God to change other people
Live with margin
Don't be so hard on yourself
Stop doing things you don't do well
Remember that God is for you.
Joyce reminds readers that the Bible is full of examples of God's provision and His instruction to focus on one day at a time. She encourages readers to set themselves free by realizing they don't have to do, fix, or manage everything. By embracing the fact that God is on their side they will be encouraged that He will help find a way to live a simple life.

Old advice repackaged with Scripture by Christian leader November 19, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
100 Ways to Simplify Your Life by Joyce Meyer is Meyer's newest entry to help Christians find their way. Each of the 100 chapters are short, just a page or so, and easy reading. They are headed by a quote from a usually secular source followed by a verse from Scripture applying to the topic. From cutting down on clutter to throwing away junk mail to saying no to excessive responsibilities, the advice in this book has been given before. There's not a lot new in Meyer's advice, but by combining it with Scripture and personal anecdote, she gives even trifling things a Biblical basis.Meyer speaks with profound confidence on every matter. If you read a lot of self-help books, this won't be of much help, but if you've never picked up one before, this may just be the one to get you jumpstarted on simplifying your life. These short chapters do make for easy reading, and Meyer's solid tips are worthwhile.
Terrific advice November 19, 2008 In "100 Ways to Simplify Your Life", Joyce Meyer presents 100 bits of terrific unsolicited advice that we all need to receive. Each of these 100 short chapters begins with an insightful quote and pertinent scripture verse (that I recommend the reader memorize) which reinforces the advice that Joyce Meyer gives. Her fine writing rounds out each topic to give the reader a completely though-provoking and Bible-based experience.

I was impressed with Joyce Meyer's list, and as much as I'd love to do them all right away (or at least most of them), some of them require me to really think and re-program my thought process. Some of my more favored items from the list are: #1 Do One Thing at a Time, #6 Let Go of What Lies Behind You, #7 Learn How to Say No, #18 Establish Boundaries, #69 Be Realistic in Your Expectations, #87 Beware of Distractions, etc. I could go on and on. Many of the items on the list apply to me in one way or another.
Each section is only a few pages long, and it contains an inspirational saying, and a passage from the Bible. Joyce also uses some examples from life to help the reader understand how to apply the item to their own life.
This was a nice and helpful book that will need to remain on my nightstand for quite a while as I try to work through some of the items on the list that are more meaningful to me at this time.
These are not outlandish ideas, but rather things that occur regularly in life that when added together or tackled separately (you really don't need to tackle all 100 items at once! I'm going to start with two or three and do them well prior to adding more.) will help to create a simpler life. I would encourage you to pick up this book and read through it yourself.
I'd give it less if it was possible November 13, 2008 4 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book was written to be inspirational. This audio is read to NOT be inspirational. The reader has no emotion, tonal change or any spirit in the presentation. After the third track (not CD) I turned it off and have gotten rid of it. What a disappointment after the book. Do not waste your money in these times of economic uncertainty. Simplify your life with one less audio book.
