Product Description
God has a master plan for our lives. It may not seem that way, especially when we stumble and fall. But we aren't just accidents of nature that God took pity on. Though it may seem like we're blindly making our way through this world, the truth is that God is behind us all the way.

 I was expecting more from this poorly edited, just okay book August 7, 2008
The format of this book--"10 Steps"--is currently in vogue for Christian titles -- 5 Steps to this, 8 Lessons to that--as if God speaks so clearly to each of us that it could all be condensed down to such a simple formula.
Gloria has a wonderful and at times funny testimony and some great life stories and life lessons. However, she tends to "preach" a bit too much in this book and many, many pages are devoted to Bible passages to support her statements.
There's nothing "wrong" with the Bible passages but I would have much rather read more of her OWN story, what she learned as God revealed His master plan to her.
And the first few chapters are poorly edited and seem to take forever to "get going." It's like there were really only 5 steps but they padded it out to 10!
Her other books are much more rewarding--try BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE and TO KNOW HIM--because they are more personal. Because she has the arm of a mainstream publisher now, perhaps the book was put too much into a box to allow Gloria's real voice to shine through.
So I give it 3 stars, which to me means it was "just okay."

This is the first book I have read by Gloria Copeland, and now want to read all her books. I have viewed Gloria preach on T.V. for years, but never inquired about books until I heard an advertisment for the book called the master plan for your life. This book as many other readers have said will change your life. It took me a little longer to read since I wanted to make sure I read every single word of what Gloria had to say. I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to walk closer with God and discover the master plan he has in store for your life.
 Just another superstition May 20, 2008

I admit, Ive never read this book. But i assume, and i probably do so correctly, that this books premise is based upon an old superstition. This superstition when thought about and acted upon creates a drug like addiction to those that are enslaved by it... I am just carrying on the theme from another commenter here because i too find these types of books a threat to rational thought and truth in general... This lady and all of her followers should do themselves a favor and admit that they are living in a fairy tale world. There is NO evidence for the existence of any type of god... Hes only in your brain folks..
These books do for intellectual thought what Brittany Spears does for music.... They both degrade the scene...
Do the world a favor by honestly trying to understand reality by how reality actually presents itself. People need to stop creating fairy tales.. I know, I know, god really has worked in your life yadda yadda, perhaps you do need this drug.. But.. try taking some anti depressants and read a real book people...
When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. -- Stephen Henry Roberts

Gloria is at her best again for those of us who believe in God's plan for us. This is a loving book that brings a certain peace to the reader.

I read about half and I started crying. My sides hurt so much from laughing.
Put your trust in an invisible sky daddy who is always broke and wants not only to kill you if you don't suck up, he wants to torment you forever.
I think this book is a hoot and perhaps a little prozac make help you grasp the delusions of religion as a whole. You may even see Elvis at the Mall.
Read this book and cry you heart out as this is comedy only Mel Brooks can top.
If you believe the bible also read jack and the Bean Stalk. I think Jack plays Jesus who conquers sin by killing a giant.
