Made Like Martha: Good News for the Woman Who Gets Things Done
An invitation for overachievers to discover what it means to rest as God’s daughters without compromising their God-given design as doers.
Though she didn’t sit at Jesus’s feet like her sister Mary, biblical Martha was loved just as she was–and you are too.
Made Like Martha is not an exhortation to add or subtract things off your to-do list, but it is an invitation to exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom without abandoning your doer’s heart in the process. Step into your position as a daughter of God and to enjoy life as a doer.
With reflection questions, “It Is Finished” activities at the end of each chapter, and a 5-week Bible study (for individuals or groups), Made Like Martha helps you find rest from striving even as you celebrate your God-given design to “do.”
A Very Bavarian Christmas – Book 1 in the Very Bavarian Series
Holly Noel Brigham is making a list and checking it twice—counting all the reasons she is fed up with her not-so-jolly reality: single, broke, living in her childhood bedroom at the age of thirty.
After her dreams of opening a community art space in the city are shattered, Holly returns to her hometown of Bavarian Falls—the Christmas capital of the Midwest. She finds seasonal employment personalizing ornaments at Neumann’s, the mile-long Christmas store, instead of decking gallery walls with her art.
As December draws near, a melancholy mood—instead of mistletoe—hangs over Holly’s head. The only guy showing any interest in her is quirky Frank, who keeps her laughing but makes her feel boxed in. Then there’s handsome Nik, who has a shady past but takes her ambitions seriously.
As Holly faces fractured relationships and embarrassing misunderstandings, will she unwrap more disappointment or say yes to love, with no strings attached?
