Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World – Finding Intimacy With God in the Busyness of Life (Revised Edition with New Bible Study)

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World Finding Intimacy With God in the Busyness of Life Revised Edition with New Bible Study

Updated with a new 12 week companion Bible study, Joanna Weaver's popular book shows women how to blend intimacy with Jesus and service for Him.

An invitation for every woman who feels she isn't godly enough…isn't loving enough…isn't doing enough

The life of a woman today isn't really all that different from that 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, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life-and he extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly he invites you to choose "the better part"-a joyful life of "living-room" intimacy with him that flows naturally into "kitchen service" for him.

How can you make that choice? With her fresh approach to the familiar Bible story and its creative, practical strategies, Joanna 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.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent service
The book was new and in excellent condition when I received it. The shipment was prompt with no delays.

4 Stars Good, not great
This book is good for those beginning to look at the story of Mary and Martha and the lessons we can learn from them. Since I've been studying Mary & Martha for a while now, I was a little disappointed in this book simply because I was hoping for something that went a little deeper. It's well written & an easy read.

5 Stars great read
I highly recommend this book, not only for Christians or Bible readers.

In this hurrried society, exploring "stopping to smell the roses"(so to speak)is something we can all relate to.

5 Stars Very fast and in excellent shape.
i will defiently by from this vendor again. i got my book fast and it was in excellent condition.

5 Stars Loved this book!
I would definitely recommend this book. I was barely through the first chapter and was absolutely amazed at how much I was NEEDING to read this book. It fit my life perfectly. I love the way she words things and labels things throughout the book. About the time I would think the book couldn't match me any more perfectly, I'd read something that would fit right in once again! I'm not even finished reading it as of yet but I know it's one of those books that I will read many more times in the future! A+ recommendation!
