Tell Them I Love Them
The impact of a book can keep a message alive long after the author has written it. Discover how Tanya's life was changed by the very first book Joyce ever wrote! Read Tanya's story.
Hand of Hope
Tanya Stoyanova’s life drastically changed while meeting with doctors in Sofia, Bulgaria. “You have cancer,” they told her.
Although in utter disbelief, Tanya says God gave her remarkable peace as she listened to the diagnosis and prepared for her upcoming surgery. As she entered the hospital, a group of friends blessed her with a care package of items she would need, including a small book titled Tell Them I Love Them by Joyce Meyer.
“Through this book, God taught me that I’m completely in His hands. I learned to trust Him. I understood how strong God’s Word is, how much God really loves me and how precious I am in His eyes.”
Tanya took the book with her into the pre-op room and read all the way up until the surgery began. As soon as she was out of surgery, she passed the book around to other ladies in the hospital.
“The book was passed from person to person, hand to hand. And God’s perfect love was healing their hearts. Everyone was turning to God. It was something incredible.”
This particular book just happens to be Joyce’s first published book, and it was also the first book distributed in Bulgarian. Even though the book is small, its simple, yet profound message of God’s love has been reaching people all around for years.
“I believe that what people need more than anything is a revelation of God’s love for them personally,” Joyce shares in the first line of the book’s introduction. That revelation was exactly what Tanya received during one of the most trying times of her life…and it’s what enabled her to spread that message to others.
