Two books which are recommended reading for all women are written by Joanna Weaver who has a very deep insight into women's hearts.
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
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.
Joanna Weaver shows how all of us - Mary’s and Martha’s alike - can draw closer to our Lord, deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.
Having a Mary Spirit
Having a Mary Spirit, directs your gaze past your own shortcomings to the God who stands ready, willing, and able to make a new woman out of you. Joanna Weaver equips you with biblical insights and practical tools to partner with Christ, inviting him into the hidden places of your soul and giving him full permission to redeem and renovate. Drawing on the stories of biblical Mary’s and others whose experience with God transformed their lives, Joanna Weaver shows how you can find the hope, healing, wholeness, and joy your heart longs for.
