Unfortunately we pay a price for bad habits that outweighs the immediate gratification that they bring. Experts say that at least forty per cent of what we do is solely the result of habit which is why it is so important to make good habits & break bad ones. 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). It's like following a Sat Nav to get you to a new place. After travelling the same route several times the Sat Nav isn't needed for you to find your destination. The 'habit' of following the right route is ingrained.
