Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver
MORE THAN ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD * AN ECPA BESTSELLER * For every woman seeking balance in a world of burnout and anxiety, this book is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with the One who's worth serving--includes a 12-week companion Bible study!"Easy to read, personal, and well-written with a message much more than surface deep. Joanna probed, challenged, and encouraged me to live day by day as Mary in a Martha world."--Carole Mayhall, author of Come Walk with Me and Here I Am Again, Lord
The life of a woman today isn't all that different from the lives of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord's feet . . . but the daily demands of a busy world just won't leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him . . . yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy.
Then comes Jesus, into the midst of your busy life, to extend the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters from Bethany. Tenderly, he invites you to choose "the better part"--a joyful life of intimacy with him that flows naturally into loving service.
With her fresh approach to the familiar Bible story, Joanna Weaver shows how all of us, Marys and Marthas alike, can draw closer to our Lord: deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.
This book includes a twelve-week Bible study for individual or group use. A Study Guide and a corresponding ten-session video series on DVD or online are available separately.
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, Having a Mary Spirit, and the award-winning gift book With This Ring are among Joanna Weaver's best-selling books. Her work has featured in Focus on the Family, Guideposts, and HomeLife, among other publications. Joanna and her pastor-husband, John, live in Montana with their three children. www.JoannaWeaverBooks.com is her website.
