Having a Mary Spirit: Allowing God to Change Us from the Inside Out - Joanna Weaver

From the author of Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World comes a powerful new book that takes women on the next step in their spiritual journey. She exposes the constant battle between the good-girl spirit and the bad-girl flesh that leaves women feeling discouraged and spiritually inadequate. \nLord, Whatever It Takes, Make Me Like You \nYou long to serve God with grace and strength, to reflect Christ in every word and action. Yet you find yourself continually struggling to bring that vision to life in your daily walk. \n \nAt our very core, every one of us is a twisted sister within whom the flesh and spirit battle constantly for control. We are afflicted with spiritual schizophrenia, the 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. \n \nIn this life-changing book, Joanna Weaver, author of the perennial bestseller, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, 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. \n \nDrawing on the stories of biblical Marys and others whose experience with God transformed their lives, Joanna shows how you can find the hope, healing, wholeness, and joy your heart longs for. Having a Mary Spirit will launch you toward lasting personal transformation-soul-deep change that results in a complete makeover, from the inside out. \n \n**Includes a 12-week Bible study for both individual reflection and group discussion**\n
