The Love Revolution

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.

Jesus called it the Great Commandment: Love the Lord your God with all passion and love your neighbor as yourself. In her latest book, Joyce Meyer proposes that Christians do something revolutionary: practice love in everyday life.

THE LOVE REVOLUTION is a call to action: I take up COMPASSION and SURRENDER MY EXCUSES; I STAND against INJUSTICE and COMMIT to live out SIMPLE acts of God's LOVE; I REFUSE to do nothing; This is MY RESOLVE; I AM the Love Revolution.

The book is a hands-on primer for bringing to life the basic message that Christ brought. In it, Meyer examines what will happen if we each decide that we will refuse to live only for ourselves and love intentionally through action.

Meyer even addresses such issues as human trafficking, domestic violence, rape, hunger and child prostitution. As well as providing concrete actions readers can take to participate in the solutions to these worldwide crises.
