Product Description
CBA BESTSELLER - More than a million copies sold! An invitation for every woman who's ever felt she isn't godly enough, isn't loving enough, isn't doing enough.

"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.

A companion study guide that helps participants answer the question: How do we blend intimacy with Jesus and service for him in the midst of our busy, hectic lives?

Joanna Weaver's signature book, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, explores how each one of us has some Mary and some Martha within. The Mary in us wants to leave the dishes and sit at Jesus' feet, while the Martha in us wants to attend to the multiple tasks around us. In this ten-session study guide, designed as a companion resource to the bestselling book and companion video content, available separately, Joanna reminds us that Jesus extends to us the same invitation he gave these sisters of Bethany: Come to Me.

Featuring an expanded and revised version of the book's original study, this beautiful guide provides space to capture what's been learned from reading the assigned book chapters and the study of God's Word. Practical sidebars, memory verses, video pages, and "Make a Plan" prompts make this a resource women will turn to long after the study is done. As we discover the best of both the Mary and the Martha parts of our lives, we will deepen our devotion to God and learn to delight in sitting at his feet.

Created for both individuals and groups, this study guide enhances opportunities for personal reflection and/or group discussion around the bestselling book. To get the most out of the study, each participant will need a copy of the book and the study guide. Ten sessions of video content, approximately twenty minutes each, are also available on DVD or by online streaming.
