Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver (Chapter 1 Excerpt)

An invitation for every woman who’s ever felt she isn’t godly enough, isn’t loving enough, isn’t doing enough.

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World is a reminder to women today that they’re not much different from those in the Jesus’ time. Drawing on the Biblical story of Mary of Bethany and her sister Martha, Weaver suggests that the troubles of balancing spending time with God and meeting the high-demands of a busy life is an age-old problem. Offering fresh Bible study, lively anecdotes, meaningful illustrations, and creative, practical strategies, readers will learn to first spend quality time with God, then—after being filled—to reach out in humility, sacrificial service, and love.
