Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World Finding Intimacy With God in the Busyness of Life

Nothing has transformed my life like the study of God's Word. Something powerful happens when we go beyond other people's opinions and revelations and discover for ourselves what God has to say. I designed this twelveweek Bible study to help you do just that. I recommend using a translation of the Bible that you enjoy and understand, as well as a notebook and a pen to record your answers. Before each lesson, ask the Holy Spirit to increase your understanding as you examine God's Word and then help you apply the truths you discover. Each lesson starts with questions for individual reflection or group discussion, then moves into a study of scriptural principles. At the end of the lesson, you'll have an opportunity to write about what spoke most to you in that chapter. The stories, quotes, and sidebars within the chapters may provide further opportunities for discussion or reflection. My prayer is that each of you will begin to experience the blessing God promises to those who look "intently into the perfect law that gives freedom... not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it" (James 1:25). There is a holy makeover waiting for each one of us. It is found in God's presence and within the pages of his Word. Dig in, ladies! You'll be glad you did.Weaver, Joanna is the author of 'Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World Finding Intimacy With God in the Busyness of Life', published 2000 under ISBN 9781578562589 and ISBN 1578562589.
