Synopsis: They were two of Jesus's closest friends. Each had something to offer Him. But one offered "the better part." In Joanna Weaver's signature book, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, she explores how each of us has some "Mary" and some "Martha" within. The "Mary" in us wants to leave the dishes and sit at Jesus's feet, while the "Martha" in us wants to attend to the multiple tasks around us. How do we blend intimacy with Jesus and service for Him in the midst of our busy, hectic lives? In this ten-session DVD companion participant's guide, Joanna reminds us that Jesus extends to us the same invitation He gave these sisters of Bethany: Come to Me. 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. Designed for individuals and groups.
