Mary, Martha, And Me: Seeking the One Thing That Is Needful

This is a great book that gives you more insight on these women. I learned so much from reading it.

This was a great book to gain deeper understanding of these 2 very important people in the New Testament.

We often juggle between "doing" and "listening". Camille Fronk Olson has hit the right balance by comparing Mary and Martha to Ourselves. Tale of Two Sisters: Martha is the hostess with the mostest - preparing who knows what for the LORD, while Mary sits at his feet and listens. Martha pleads with the LORD for some help from Mary. If you don't know this story, it's found in: Luke 10:38-42 KJV 38 ¶ Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. "Mary, Martha and Me" helps us to see the good in both women, and think about which one we most identify with - or not? Surprise! Most of us are quite a bit like each of the sisters, in more ways than we might imagine. Please read this little book, or give it as a gift. It will speak wonderful words to your heart and soul :o)
