Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World Study Guide: Finding Intimacy with God in the Busyness of Life (A 10-session Series for Personal or Group Study)

Description

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. Review: Make you think - I took four ladies through this book and it changed our lives. This causes us to see whether we are a Mary in this Martha world or are a Martha and need to be more like Mary. Two of us were more like Mary and could be a little like Martha in some areas of our lives. Three of the ladies were more like Martha and wanted to be more like Mary in this Martha World. This is a great book to read and have a group study. The part of the book that stood out to me the most was ( The Wegon) when God asked the man to take the three stones up the hill and gave him the direction. You should buy it and learn what happens on the way. You will relate to what happened and will learn not to do what he did along the way. Review: Love the book and study - great study companion to go with the book. Good thought provoking questions to really get you to think.
