Joanna Weaver’s Having a Mary Spirit Offers Readers New Resources

Thoughtful and personal, practical and encouraging, Having a Mary Spirit gently shows readers how they can deepen their devotion, strengthen their service, and experience less stress and greater joy. This signature book now comes with DVD and participant's guide, making it easier than ever for readers to immerse themselves in their spiritual learning.

Having a Mary Spirit: Allowing God to Change Us from the Inside Out (WaterBrook Press/Oct. 7, 2014) is written specifically for women and the issues they face at every stage on their faith journey, as they strive to live more fully in the truths they believe. Women who are frustrated by a disconnect between their spiritual beliefs and their daily lives will be drawn to the promise of lasting transformation, and Weaver's conversational tone, real-life stories, and insightful Bible teaching quickly engages readers at an emotional and spiritual level. Readers of Weaver's previous best-seller, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, will be eager to pick up this curriculum, which leads them in the next step on their spiritual journey.

The 12-Session DVD with participant's guide features Weaver as she walks women through her best-selling book into a deeper understanding of Scripture. The warm, personable setting, featuring a small group of women and Weaver teaching and interacting with them in her own living room, lends the sessions a feeling of intimacy with the author. The DVD also includes a special option for a 6-week or 12-week Bible study, as well as on-disk bonus material such as "Tools for Transformation" videos, "Creative Intro" segments, and a promotional trailer.
