Praise for
"Having a Mary Spirit
" " Once again, Joanna Weaver guides us gently, lovingly, yet firmly along the life-changing path of righteousness. Her honesty about her own struggles assures us we're not alone. And her commitment to biblical truth reminds us God will be with us every step of the way. I promise you'll emerge from this reading experience a changed woman!"
- Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of "Bad Girls of the Bible"
" Reading "Having a Mary Spirit" is like having a cherished friend visit and speak right to my heart. As someone who loved "Having a Mary Heart in Martha World," this second book focuses on intimacy with Christ, but it also takes us deeper, showing us--through personal anecdotes and touching stories--the joy found in turning ourselves over for a holy makeover. If you're ready for a transformed spirit, you'll adore this book!"
- Tricia Goyer, award-winning author of eight books including "Generation NeXt Parenting"
" It seems the most authentic books are the ones that inch their way out of an ordinary life and quietly speak of all that is eternal. That is the case with "Having a Mary Spirit," This personal and life-pondering book will strengthen and soothe the places in your spirit where your everyday life has left you parched. Drink deeply!"
- Robin Jones Gunn, Bestselling author of "Sisterchicks"(R) " on the Loose! "and "Take Flight!
"
Weaver spends 16 delightfully entertaining and spiritually hefty chapters challenging and entreating women to allow God entrance to the heart' s inner places for a " soul-surgery" of sorts. She discussesguarding one' s heart from distractions and cynicism, bringing thoughts under control, honing a fearless, courageous attitude, and learning to adopt a discerning, malleable and servant-minded spirit. Weaver' s insight is keen and far-reaching, patient and practical. ... Weaver has a way of approaching even the most tried subject matter with a neighborliness that both charms and enthralls.
