Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Power of Thank You
Joyce Meyer · 2023
68/100
👎 Skip It
Joyce Meyer's writing is warm and accessible and her evangelical readership will find solid biblical grounding and practical application here, but the flagged prosperity-gospel undertones and unchecked ableist language are real editorial weaknesses in a book about gratitude that should model careful thinking about suffering. Worth it for committed Meyer readers; others have better options.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below.

⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Prosperity-gospel-adjacent framing noted by reviewers; ableist language flagged as unchecked. We still scored it 68; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
