About this audiobook
"Words are a big deal. They are containers for power, and we have to decide what kind of power we want our words to carry. ... I believe that our words can increase or decrease our level of joy. They can affect the answers to our prayers and have a positive or negative effect on our future. ... One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes we have."
Building on the premises of her bestselling books, Power Thoughts and Living Beyond Your Feelings, Joyce examines how we use words-the vehicles that convey our thoughts and emotions-and provides a series of guidelines for cultivating talk that is constructive, healthy, healing, and used for good results.
Topics include:
- The Impact of Words
- How to Tame Your Tongue
- How to be Happy
- When to talk and when not to talk
- Speaking Faith and Not Fear
- The Corrosion of Complaints
- Do you really have to give your opinion?
- The importance of keeping your word
- The power of speaking God's word
- How to have a smart mouth
In "A Dictionary of God's Word" at the end of the book, Joyce provides dozens of scripture verses, arranged by topic, and recommends that we read them aloud to strengthen our vocabulary of healing words.

Reviews for Change Your Words, Change Your Life

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The second book of Joyce Meyer's that I've enjoyed. (I've read about 4 or 5).
This book helps to be aware of the negative thoughts and things we say, usually without much thought given to them.
I know there are many non-religious people that believe in the power of thoughts and words.
Meyer gives many examples of both positive and negative thoughts and words with scripture.
She also shares her personal experiences and growth in the power of the Word with changing thoughts and words.
How many parents teach their children to not say hate or can't? It's a good start. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent book that is very helpful if you deal with issues of insecurity.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Strange to say, but I'm not a Christian. Nonetheless this splendid book is helping me so much. Ms Meyer speaks with direct experience of the suffering that immature speech can cause. That's why her insights into the nature of speech - that halfway house between mind and body - have the ring of hard-won truth about them. This is no empty moralising. The author speaks with maturity and warmth to show the way out of the mess that is always of our own making. Thank you once again for this helpful and wise offering.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's a thought provoking book about how much we complain and speak negatively without really noticing. Joyce has done her thing again and made us think.
