Summary: When it comes to never giving up, Joyce Meyer is probably better equipped than anyone. If anyone knows how to hold on to a dream and realize it, she's it. She overcame an abused childhood, a bad marriage and extremely limited opportunities to become one of the most popular author/speakers in the world. Joyce Meyer Ministries was the first ministry in America to be headed by a woman, and it's one of the largest in the world. Packed with examples of people who pursued their goals relentlessly, this book profiles nearly fifty individuals who prevailed against all odds. From the builder of the Brooklyn Bridge to the chemists who invented Post-It notes, we meet people like Bessie Coleman, an African-American who had to go to Paris in order to get into flight school. But fly she did, becoming the first woman in America to earn her pilot's license in 1920.--From publisher description.
