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.

"I love this book, because it reenforces what has already been on my heart. Also, she helps with the overwhelming feeling by pointing out that even though you can't help everyone, by helping one person, you have helped someone. That is better than helping no one."

“Joyce’s book…implores readers to embrace compassion and surrender all excuses. Passionate yet pious.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review“Joyce Meyer is not satisfied with the status quo. She believes that we each need to become a revolutionary and practise love every day.”
— Publishers Weekly“How fitting it is for Sandra McCollom, who is Meyer’s daughter, to narrate her mother’s book. McCollom keeps the spotlight on her mother’s words.”
— AudioFileBelievers and nonbelievers alike will appreciate her "nine habits of highly effective Christians." Listeners familiar with the author's strident speaking voice will enjoy hearing her smooth writing delivered by her youngest daughter, whose voice has her mother's timbre but is more appealing in its innocence and emotional steadiness.

— Carrie, 11/30/2013" People spend so much time whining and complaining about their petty problems when there's a world of starving children and abused women who deserve our time and attention instead.
