In a fun and entertaining tone, with the new book, Meyer teaches that it's OK to celebrate something we've accomplished or treat yourself to something for a job well done. With an inspirational message that will resonate with readers everywhere, the new book will help you find freedom to do something you enjoy and not feel guilty about it, to reward yourself for progress instead of punishing yourself every time you fail, and to give yourself permission to "lighten up" when facing challenges -- all while staying spiritually balanced and celebrating God and what He's doing in you.
"This new book celebrates that we're not built for guilt," said Meyer. "At some point, we all need to 'eat the cookie and buy the shoes' in order to help us finish what we've started or as a way of celebrating something we've accomplished. Your 'cookie and shoes' can be anything that you enjoy. God never intended for us to be under a heavy burden. In fact, God is the ultimate party planner and wants you to learn how to celebrate the victories in your life."
A #1 New York Times bestselling author, Joyce Meyer has written more than 80 inspirational books that have been translated into over 80 different languages. Popular titles include "The Love Revolution," "The Confident Woman" and "Battlefield Of The Mind." More than 12 million Joyce Meyer books have been distributed worldwide and, in 2007, more than 3.2 million copies were sold.
