First of all, Joyce Meyer is a Christian writer. I'm familiar with other books of hers, but I hadn't enjoyed any via audiobook. This book is read by Sandra McCollom who is Joyce's youngest daughter. She is a Christian stay at home mom to twin girls and did a wonderful job with this book. I enjoyed her passion in the reading as well as her voice and cadence.

100 Ways to Simplify Your Life begins with #1, moving all the way through #100. Each of the Ways are their own section in the audio, so it's easy to re-listen to them and refer back to them. Each of the 100 Ways begins with a quote and I found myself looking forward to them. In fact I made notes of some that were particularly interesting to me. I do not want to spoil the book for anyone, but I'd like to list a couple of the Ways.


#5--Don't worry about tomorrow
#11--Don't make mountains of of molehills
#33--Follow your heart
#42--Be thankful
#65--Give up control
#81--Bridle your tongue
#97--Be faithful
Many, if not all of these, contain biblical references, further backing up her view of the ways to simplify your life, by God's word. It is true that God wants us to lead a simple life and cast our troubles to him. I believe that was the message I was to take from this book since it's the one I noticed being repeated throughout the many Ways.

I loved this book. I was listening to this at the same time that I read No Experts Needed: The Meaning of Life According to You by Louise Lewis. I do not believe that these were sent to me at the same time was an accident. It was meant for me to read them. It is my goal, challenge, mission and prayer to begin living a better life. I really have this book to thank.
