About this audiobook
Though setting rules in our lives are important, it's just as important that we break them from time-to-time. Structure is a powerful tool, but when diverging from your own goals is seen as catastrophic, it can have a hugely negative effect on us. Balance is a core value in life and every once in awhile we deserve to indulge in a guilty pleasure or two. So don't feel bad about straying from your goals every once-in-awhile and in fact, embrace it: eat the cookie and buy the shoes!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5would recommend to anyone and everyone
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent, always full of truth and acute awareness of how crucial our faith is to living in a fallen and challenging world! Thank you Joyce Meyers!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5From my blog...While the premise of the book, Eat the Cookie…Buy the Shoes is an excellent one and a message I believe many should hear, I wonder how many readers may be put off by the preaching in this novel with the fun, whimsical title, I hope not many. Meyer's message is one that should be read, yet often I found myself feeling overwhelmed by what seemed to me to be too heavy a hand on the religious end. Yes, I realize Joyce Meyer is rather popular and has her own ministry, however, with the title of the book and the message that we need to give ourselves a break now and again, that it is okay to splurge, to not be perfect, to eat the dessert, to indulge now and again, I felt those lessons were overshadowed and at times lost in the preaching. I personally would have preferred to read a more light-hearted novel, however, I realise as well that this is exactly what many want to read about and I appreciate that. While this book was not what I thought it would be and was not for me, I still believe Meyer's messages to women are very valid and hope many of her faithful following and those new to her ministry will give Eat the Cookie…Buy the Shoes a try.
