More Power to You: Declarations to Break Free from Fear & Take Back Your Life

by Margaret Feinberg

Looking for a good book for daily or weekly devotionals? 

Margaret Feinberg was an optimistic Bible teacher until, as she states, “A series of brutal struggles—a cancer diagnosis, financial woes, failed friendships, a painful betrayal, unanswered prayers—all worked together to corrode my confidence, leaving me shaky and uncertain.” That’s when Satan slipped in with all kinds of lies about herself that Feinberg gradually began to believe. When she recognized the “downward spiral” that she had allowed to occur, she determined to change her mindset using “bold Daily Declarations rooted in Scripture about God’s goodness, the fierce love of Christ, and my worth.”

In fifty-two chapters, Feinberg shares her Daily Declarations along with the lie that needs to be erased and the Scripture reference that supports the new viewpoint. The declarations are listed in the beginning and repeated at the end of the book along with the Scripture reference. She expands on each truth with a brief teaching that is personal, Biblical, and meaningful. Having read it cover to cover during my daily time with God, I recommend this devotional and will probably come back to it for a reread in the future. As a bibliophile, I also enjoyed the design and layout of the hardback book with its heavy, smooth paper and uncluttered pages. It is a nice addition to my home library.

Memorable Lines:

Studies show that 85 percent of the scenarios people worry about never end up happening. In harboring these thoughts, you allow tomorrow’s forecast of rain clouds to steal today’s sunshine.

The hardships we face in life may refine us, but they do not have to define us.

The kingdom of God advances among dinner tables and church pews, in doctor’s offices and cubicles, in the carpool pick-up line, and maaaaaaybe even while you’re on hold with the customer service agent. The kingdom of God tears in whenever you allow Christ’s love to saturate you and spill out onto those around you.
