Summary: 4 Stars
I think Having a "Mary Heart in a Martha World" by Joanna Weaver would make an excellent Bible study. It is loaded with scripture and practical suggestions on how to have peace in the midst of our busy lives. I loved the hula hoop and teeter-totter analogies she included. Peace is the result of spending quiet time with God each day in prayer and reading His Word, being teachable and obedient by abiding in Christ.
Throughout "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World," Joanna Weaver draws from resources that she has found helpful, including Navigators 2:7 material. I thought it was interesting that both the author and I were impacted by the same quote from the Navigators 2:7 material which was that "Christ is waiting for me to come spend time with Him."
The main point of "Having a Mary Heart in Martha World" is to have a balance between our worship and service. We should be a combination of both Mary and Martha! Much of this book was already familiar to me but served as a good reminder to keep abiding in Christ and guarding my quiet time with Him. Something that jumped out at me was about hospitality and being willing to help the less fortunate because I pass by beggars all the time going to or from work. Joanna said, "As Christians, as a church, we are called to be hospitable, the very root of hospitality. Our lives should be a refuge for the hurting, not a country club for the comfortable." That really spoke to my heart.
This is not a book that goes fast. There is a lot of "meat" in it and things to think through and apply to your life. It gives you a lot to "chew" on. I recommend "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed with all they have to do or who is looking for a Bible Study that is practical and will make a difference in your life.
