Happy Monday! The purpose of memorable Monday is to showcase a book that you’ve read in the past and share how/why it has stuck with you.
This week I’m featuring:
Amazon | Goodreads
Are you a Mary or a Martha? In the ballpark of around 10 years ago I read this book with a group of friends at church. It was one that really made me think and helped me process a lot of “yuck” that I was going through in my life at the time. Especially in the pace of the day we live in today, this is a must-read for women.
About the Book:
With nearly a million copies sold, 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.

I think that Trisha and I are going to buy this book (Mary Heart, Martha World) and do an online study. We both think it’s a book we need to study.
Great idea!!
I did this book in a Bible study more than 10 years ago and it is very good! I also highly recommend.
Yeah, it might have been more than 10 years ago for me too but it’s at least in the ballpark lol
