Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World

Finding Intimacy with GOD in the Busyness of Life

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.

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.

AUDIO VERSION: Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World is also available on CD and MP3 download.

“We have had some of the most lively and heart felt discussion around your book. It is because the book has touched us all in our very soul. You got this group out of our "heads," and into our "hearts." So, thank you again, and God bless you. You write as though you are sitting beside us, joining in our discussion.”

“I'm on my second reading of Mary Heart. Thank you for being a tool God has used to crack my hard exterior. I feel an awakening in my spirit to go to that room that God and I set aside to meet together in and I never want to neglect it.”

“Your book has kept our attention to say the least. It gives so many powerful examples of how God loves each of us and works through all of us. You are funny, but real and that makes all the difference.”
