From Publishers Weekly
Megaselling author Meyer (Approval Addiction; Battlefield of the Mind) turns her pointed pen to building confidence in women. She defines confidence as "all about being positive about what you can do—and not worrying over what you can't do." She quickly moves into describing God's view of women ("God never intended for women to be less than men in anyone's estimation") and what the Bible says about women in ministry, offering her interpretation of the Apostle Paul's controversial comments in 1 Corinthians. Meyer's quick jabs become less defined as she describes the seven secrets of the confident woman; rattles on about the Proverbs 31 woman; lists 10 women who overcame barriers to become leaders; and then describes 10 steps to female independence. The last seven chapters focus on how women can eliminate fear from their lives. As usual, Meyer presents a relentlessly upbeat message to her legion of eager readers: be confident, here's how, get going. It's a vital message to be sure, but discerning readers might prefer fewer platitudes and examples, less repetition and a bit more depth. (Sept. 5)

From AudioFile
Pat Lentz's soft, clear voice narrates Meyer's work on how to become a confident woman. With careful attention, she describes seven secrets of confidence and explores how to live without fear, conquer the damage of abuse, and overcome false expectations. Her interpretation of Apostle Paul's controversial comments on women in 1 Corinthians is especially believable. She perfectly renders the description of a woman from Proverbs 31 who represents the differences between godly women and worldly women. Lentz delivers the author's vital message with clarity as she teaches how to step into the future with boldness, armed with renewed confidence and eager to explore new possibilities. Joyce Meyer delivers the introduction and overview. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Customer Reviews

Great Self-Help/Success Book for Christian Women
The Confident Woman is a great book for Christian women who feel a calling to do more in their lives (regardless of their age). Joyce leads you through claiming your confidence, becoming bold without being overbearing, and overcoming fear in order to succeed in life. In the beginning of the book she covers Adam vs. Eve issues and weaves the message that men and women are and should be partners not enemies. Keep your bible with you for this book as you may want to cross reference, although most biblical passages are included in The Confident Woman, some are only mentioned to be referenced.

Excellent book -- great for women of all ages
This is my second book by Joyce Meyer--my first was "Battlefields of the Mind," which I still use as a reference/text book! Joyce has a way of teaching God's Word that is practical and easy to apply to our every day life. "The Confident Woman" is another daily guide. But, what I liked most about this book is that it puts revolutionary feminism into a Godly context. Joyce is awesome! "The Confident Woman" is a book that has something for every woman--whether you see yourself as a liberated woman or whether you see yourself as oppressed by society and/or by men, your mind will be renewed by the Word that Joyce uses to minister God's love. In her chapter entitled "Setting The Record Straight," Joyce boldly states that: "I believe that Satan has methodicaly taken centuries to build wrong thinking about women into the minds of society. This wrong thinking has caused women to be mistreated, and in turn, has caused women to lack confidence." This book is a must read! Be blessed!

A Lesson Well Learned
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Joyce Meyers is one of my favorite authors now. No matter what situation you find yourself in, her books and this one in particular, will teach you a lesson to overcome and face, with faith, whatever is currently in your life. The Confident Woman made me think and gave me renewed strength to actually become a confident woman.
