There are a lot of prayer books and many great spiritual books, but there are precious few prayer and compassion books that are practical workbooks as well. Mary's Prayers and Martha's Recipes will be your own special resource for both seasons of your life. Here's food for your soul as you seek to serve God passionately. Mixing a heaping handful of caring insights from giants of faith like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Mother Teresa with contemplative thoughts from Amy Carmichael, Thomas a Kempis, and others. We must learn to work like Martha and worship like Mary. It is essential that we do not do one to the exclusion of the other. It takes the loving service of Martha and the adoring prayers of Mary to complete the full ministry of the Body of Christ in this world.
