Having a Mary Spirit: Allowing God to Change Us from the Inside Out (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781400072477)

A life-changing guide to accessing the new life Jesus came to bring--from the bestselling author of Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World

"You'll emerge from this reading experience a changed woman."--Liz Curtis Higgs

You long to serve God with grace and strength and reflect Christ in every word and action. 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. We are afflicted with a chronic disconnect between our good-girl desire to put Jesus first and our bad-girl realities that crowd our thoughts and push Him out of the way.

In Having a Mary Spirit, Joanna Weaver directs your gaze past your own shortcomings to the God who stands ready, willing, and able to make a new woman out of you. 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.
