Published by FaithWords, a division of Hachette Book Group, this is Joyce’s 98th book.

In her no-nonsense approach, Joyce Meyer teaches the importance of our habits in our daily lives. She explains how to develop good habits like eating right and exercising, being decisive and thinking positively even in tough situations. No matter what bad habit you may have formed in your life, it’s never too late to make a change.

With a topic that is relevant for all ages, Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits provides practical steps you can take in order to see change happen in your own life. Don’t get overwhelmed with all the things you need to do differently. Instead, take one thing at a time, one day at a time. Joyce encourages people to “celebrate every day of success, and when you make a mistake, shake off the disappointment and keep going forward.”

In conjunction with this book release, readers are encouraged to participate in the “Make 1, Break 1 Challenge.” This is an online community challenge designed to inspire readers along their journey to creating new habits. “I’ve been working on this for 30 years,” says Joyce. “I am passionate about sharing the lessons I’ve learned about changing my own habits with others.” For more information, see www.joycemeyer.org/habits
