In this book Joyce Meyer starts by examining the nature of habits. The first habit
- & most important one to have
- is the God Habit. By making it a habit to start your day by reading the Bible & communing with God asking for His help in your efforts & His strength & sustenance the stage is set for overcoming the habits you want to break & establishing new ones in their place. The author moves on to discuss fourteen good habits & devotes a chapter to each. The reader is given a specific roadmap to follow until the behaviour has become automatic (the definition of a habit).
