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 life to extend 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 intimacy with him that flows naturally into loving service for him.
This study will include reading and discussion of "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World," by Joanna Weaver. The cost of the book, for those who need it, is $6.00.
