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. 209794 2000 Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World: Finding Intimacy With God in the Busyness of Life total:465|5:159|4:189|3:87|2:26|1:4| 465 1868 781 125 5 1 false false Sun May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 27 18:28:29 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 16:24:27 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 13:58:20 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 14:06:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 14 00:02:07 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 05:05:18 -0800 2008
Have you ever tried to do it all? I have, I do, and I probably always will. It’s not only in my nature; it’s also in my job description – and yours, too.
