Sit or Serve?: Discovering How to Balance Our Mary and Martha - Paperback

by Brenda Troutman (Author)

Welcome to the home of Mary and Martha...

Come on in, have a seat at the table, and learn from Jesus. One of the most difficult things to do in this life is find balance, which is just as true in our spiritual lives. We know how important it is for us to have quiet time with the Lord, but we also know that it is important to serve Him. Which one should take precedence? How do we know which is more important? Sit or Serve: Discovering How to Balance Our Mary and Martha explores these questions. By sitting in the home of these two women and watching the interactions between them and Jesus, we gain a clear picture of how important it is to balance our quiet devotional time with our time of service.

"Are you a busy Martha or a laid-back Mary? Take a look into the tension-filled house in Bethany as Brenda Troutman explores the dilemma we all identify with-is it better to sit or to serve? Well written in her easy, conversational style, this book is packed with lessons we can apply to our lives today. A must-read for all who struggle to find the balance between their inner Mary and Martha."

-Michele Huey, author of God, Me, and a Cup of Tea devotional books
