Battlefield of the mind (Joyce Meyer). Summarize. 1 This is a religious book that talks about how to use your mind in order to be happy and follow God´s or Christian´s path. By and large it is a good book. Basically it is a self helped book or psychology book that is using from a Christianity point of view. So, in this book you are going to see the same principles from other books, but trying to relate them with Christianity. Then, they talk about fight against the Devil, follow God, love each others, pay attention to the bible, etc. On one hand the problem of the book is that, to me, it´s a little childish in some aspects… the author only is giving you some obvious advices trying to encourage you to face life: “never give up! Go little by little! Be patient! Be optimistic!” etc… in this sense the book is lack of true strength and realism. On the other hand the book has some others valuable aspects. The author is quoting the bible all the time, and there are some passages, some ideas, some advices, that really worth it and that are very useful and deep ones. The topic about Satan vs God is passionate for me, but according to the author everything is too simple: Satan is the evil, God is the good, and your goal is to defeat Satan and join to God. Of course that’s ok but I would like a deeper explanation of all this. So, this happens in the book with a lot of topics, the main idea is fine, but the author shows it in a too superficial way… mind you, there are some aspects and parts of the book that, I repeat, are deep and very interesting. So the conclusion is: in the book I can see these both sides. I would like to learn more about the spiritual world. The author takes for granted that any bad thought comes from Satan, and every good thing comes from God. I think the spiritual world really could exist and influences us in many ways but surely in a more complex way, and I would like to know more about it.

This is a religious book that talks about how to use your mind in order to be happy and follow God´s or a Christian´s path. By and large it is a good book. Basically it is a self-help book or psychology book that is using* a Christianity point of view. So, in this book you are going to see the same principles from other books, but trying to relate them with Christianity. She** talks about fight against the Devil, follow God, love each other, pay attention to the Bible, etc. On one hand the problem of the book is that, to me, it´s a little childish in some aspects… the author only is giving you some obvious advice*** trying to encourage you to face life: “Never give up! Go little by little! Be patient! Be optimistic!” etc… in this sense the book is a lack of true strength and realism. On the other hand the book has some other valuable aspects.

[* Or: "that is from a". You can't use both words together.

** The use of "Then" means you are continuing to write about details of what is in the book, however you have only described in general what the book is about. At this point you could write "First, she talks about ...", assuming this is one of the first ideas she writes about.

*** The word "advice" is an uncountable noun. This type of noun is always used in singular form and represents both singular and plural instances.]
