Subject: The Christmas season can often be a time of great stress and pressure for women, who feel the weight of expectation for a "perfect" holiday from the many internal and external influences in their lives. The busyness of the time of year begins to overshadow the spiritual joy that can be found at the feet of Jesus. This practical and applicable book will help the "Martha" in each of us realize that she is entitled to the "Mary" time with Jesus that He desires. This series of 25 reflections will encourage the reader to see how she can have a "Mary" Christmas by discovering the joy of Christ this season. While focusing on Christmas themes in a lively and amusing manner, this book ministers to Martha's emotional and spiritual needs. Allow this book to teach you how to listen for Jesus this Christmas as you draw from Scripture and the real experiences of your peers. Interaction with your Savior during the tangled holiday season will no longer seem impossible! https://www.amazon.com/Can-Martha-Have-Mary-Christmas-ebook/dp/B00ADX25UW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9781563099311&qid=1576208099&sr=8-1
