Yet you find yourself continually struggling to bring that vision to life in your daily walk. At our very core, every one of us is a “twisted sister” within whom the flesh and spirit are battling constantly for control.

She 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 the biblical Marys (Mary, mother of Jesus; Mary, sister of Martha; and Mary Magdalene) and others whose experience with God transformed their lives, Joanna points you toward lasting personal transformation—soul-deep change that results in a complete makeover—from the inside out.   Includes a fourteen-week Bible study (adaptable to twelve weeks) for both individual reflection and group discussion.

Trusting God. It''s such a cliché. Yet nothing means more to our heavenly Father than when we surrender our lives completely to him and choose to believe he has our best in mind. David modeled that kind of deliberate dependence: as a shepherd boy, as a man running for his life, as a king who made grave mistakes. In both triumph and failure, David looked to God rather than to himself.In Embracing Trust, Joanna Weaver, bestselling author of the runaway hit Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, shares personal stories, practical tips, and life-changing principles gleaned from Scripture. If you struggle with disappointment from the past, frustration with the present, or fear of the future, Joanna invites you to trust in the Lord with all your heart. Relinquishing control and putting your hope in a forever-faithful Father--that''s the beautiful secret of unshakeable faith.Includes a 10-week companion Bible study.

Como María, anhelas sentarte a los pies del Señor... pero las demandas diarias de un mundo ajetreado no te lo permiten. Como Marta, amas a Jesús y realmente quieres servirle... pero luchas contra el cansancio, el resentimiento y sentimientos de insuficiencia. Entonces llega Jesús, justo a tu ajetreada vida de María/Marta, para extenderte la misma invitación que hizo, hace mucho tiempo, a las dos hermanas de Betania. Jesús te invita con ternura a elegir “la mejor parte”: una vida alegre, de cercanía a él, que desembocará de manera natural en servicio. ¿Cómo puedes hacer esta elección?

Tanto en el triunfo como en el fracaso, David miró a Dios más que a sí mismo.En Descansa en la soberanía de Dios, Joanna Weaver, autora superventas del gran éxito Tener un corazón de María en un mundo de Martha, comparte historias personales, consejos prácticos y principios transformadores extraídos de las Escrituras.
