Habits of a Godly Woman by Joyce Meyer

Most of us have  at least one habit or two that we would like to change. But we can create good habits as well as get rid of bad habits. Joyce Meyer wants to help women do just that with this book, Habits of a Godly Woman.

Habits of a Godly Woman starts out with a chapter on the Proverbs 31 woman. Meyer says we don't want to be legalistic in our thinking of this woman but we can look to her as an example and try to emulate her traits. There are many chapters with godly habits illustrated and explained. Habits such as prayer, reading the Bible, being thankful, being joyful, not worrying, being generous, living simpler lives, serving others, and having self-control. Each chapter is short and easy to read and reflect on with 3 habit-building Bible verses that relate to the topic at the end. The last chapter of the book is entitled, "Eight Practical Ways to Develop Godly Habits." This chapter gives brief instructions on how to best put new habits in to practice and have them becoming lasting changes for the better.

I think Habits of a Godly Woman is a good book to read and reflect on in the mornings as part of my devotional routine. It is also a nice book to stick in your purse or book bag to read when you have a few minutes as it is small and easy to carry along. It has a pretty cover. It would also make a nice gift for a woman for a special occasion. Each topic is just touched upon so it is not overwhelming. However, it is also not as deep as it could be if it were a larger book so it may inspire further reading in the Bible and other books for those who really want to work on a certain area. Meyer keeps everything Bible based but she also shares personal stories from her own life. I always appreciate that she comes across so down-to-earth and shares some of her challenges in living the Christian life from her heart.
