This book tells us to help others, stop being bystanders and to get in there and do something to make the world a better place. She leads by example and the message is clear. Many of us that can help financially don't. Those of us that can't help financially can help in other ways.

She also talks about what breaks down into "random acts of kindness". If you do one thing each day as a kindness to someone, that may lift them up and they in turn will do something for someone else. How many days will be changed for the better because of what you did? This is a book I think everyone should read. I've seen Joyce Meyers a few times on tv and enjoy her humorous side. And of course, love that she "tells it like she sees it" ( )

Love isn't just something you feel, it's something you do. Loving is contagious just like hate. Surrounding yourself with loving people will enrich your life. At the same time, surrounding yourself with people who hate can be can lead you on a downward spiral. Each individual has the opportunity to make this life better. Everyday we are faced with obstacles and some of us take that opportunity and turn it into something great. Others, turn it into something dreadful. The smallest gesture can bring someone hope. I encourage you to start your own revolution by taking the time to smile at a stranger. Cancer usually starts out small and then it grows and makes it way through the body. The same can be done with love. The difference is, love will change you for the better.

This is a great handbook for people who want to bring joy into the world. There are some things that are difficult to read, like 210,000 children will die this week because of poverty and other horrific details. How can we make a change if we don't know what we're up against? ( )

Rather than complain about the ugly problems of the world, this book challenges the reader to be part of solutions. The author asks, "What have you done today to make someone else's life better?" This is a book that will challenge the reader to put Christian love into action by stepping outside comfort zones.

John Maxwell writes about an interesting concept called, "The Compliment Club." Joyce Meyer proposes a "pay it forward" style of blessing others with time, talents, thoughts, words, deeds, and money.

Fans of Joyce Meyer will not be disappointed with this one. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446538566, Hardcover)

Joyce Meyer is not satisfied with the status quo. She believes that we each need to become a revolutionary and practice love every day. And if Joyce has her way, the revolution will spread - person by person, house by house, town by town, until the old culture of selfishness and greed gives way to a new culture of concern for others.

The book is a revolutionaries' manual, a hands-on primer for bringing the Golden Rule to life in the twenty-first century. Meyer starts out by giving some stunning statistics. Right now...210,000 children will die this week because of poverty; 640 million children do not have adequate shelter; every day, 3,000 children are abducted into the sex-trafficking industry; every day, 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes. She goes on to say that although crisis is global, the solution is local. We can't solve the world's problems, but that isn't a reason to remain idle.

LOVE REVOLUTION focuses on personal behavior on the local scale. It's not just a call to action; it is a call to being: being the person who goes out of your way to encourage someone who's out of hope; being the one who smiles at a stranger; being the one who is willing to do something for nothing. The paradox: when we do something for nothing, what we often get is something far greater.
