Welcome to Activate


Over the last month we have been reading "The Confident Woman" by Joyce Meyer. Please briefly share here any insights that you have discovered as a result of reading this book. Keep your comments to one or two paragraphs. Please encourage each other by replying to each other's comments. Joyce has a daily podcast and an excellent website where you can watch online videos of her practical teaching.


The next book that we will be reading is Jonie which is a testimony book. We will discuss this book after the next meeting.

I have been reading this as part of the Unique Inspire mentoring programme with my friend. It has also coincided with a time of challenge in my work where I have faced fears that I don't usually have to face. The whole issue of not being paralysed by fear has been so helpful. Courage is the ability to keep in good spirits despite whatever is externally telling you to despair.

I was also particularly uplifted by the short bio about Eleanor Roosevelt and feel I would like to read a biography about her remarkable life. I confess I still have a couple of chapters to read, but I find that it is good to read in short bursts and not the sort of book you sit and read cover to cover in one sitting. Anyone read a book about ER? Jacqui

Jacqui, thanks for setting this up. I enjoy watching Joyce Meyer on the God channel, but must admit I didn't find Confident Woman, one of her better books. I have just started reading her book The power of simple prayer. Prayer is an area I have often struggled with and the word "simple" caught my eye, so hopefully will gain some new insights.
Would love to know what others are reading apart from the Joni book.

Well done Irene. You joined! SO now you can share your thoughts about the confident women. What did God say to you...is saying to you through this book then?
