Book Description
Former cohost of The 700 Club Kristi Watts reveals the pitfalls
that keep Christians from true joy and demonstrates the
transformational power of speaking the words and promises of God.
How does a person bounce back after being beaten down personally,
professionally, and emotionally? What impact do words, thoughts, and
beliefs have in determining one’s level of happiness? Kristi Watts asked
herself these questions after her marriage dissolved and she left a
high-profile position as a cohost of The 700 Club. Initially excited to
walk into a new season of life that she thought held the key to
happiness, she soon stumbled into emotional pitfalls that left her
discouraged, disappointed, and distant from God. Known as the upbeat
host who was always filled with joy and laughter, she was anything
but—yet she was determined to get her happy back! But how? By learning,
as Kristi did, that true happiness is not simply acquired but rather
cultivated.
When one’s words focus on faulty perspectives, faith is quickly
derailed, but by remembering God’s blessings and verbally claiming His
promises, hearts change. Using biblical principles, Talk Yourself Happy
illustrates the importance of relying on God to tame our tongues and
train our minds, and it exposes the hidden traps that keep Christians
from living lives of happiness, empowering readers with the ultimate
transformation of their hearts.
I love it when I open a book and it feels like I am reading a letter from a friend. Such was the case with this book, the author is so relate-able that I would read 50 pages without even realize just how long I was reading! And yes that is my way of saying it is a real page turner.
I love that the author uses situations that all of us can relate to. And she gives us advice on how to talk ourselves into a happy place. She reminds us that we are not alone. I love how she reminds us to use scripture no matter what hardship we are going through.
