**"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.
