Updated with a new 12 week companion Bible study, Joanna Weaver's popular book shows
women how to blend intimacy with Jesus and service for Him.
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.
