About
This Book:
“Lord, Whatever It Takes, Make Me Like You!”
"You long to serve God with grace and strength, to reflect Christ in every
word and action. Yet you find yourself continually struggling to bring that
vision to life in your daily walk.
"At our very core, every one of us is a “twisted sister” within whom the
flesh and spirit battle constantly for control. We are afflicted with
spiritual schizophrenia, the disconnect between our “good girl” desire to
put Jesus first and our “bad girl” realities that crowd our thoughts and
push him out of the way.
"In this life-changing book, Joanna Weaver, author of the perennial
bestseller, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, directs your gaze past
your own shortcomings to the God who stands ready, willing, and able to make
a new woman out of you. She equips you with biblical insights and practical
tools to partner with Christ, inviting him into the hidden places of your
soul and giving him full permission to redeem and renovate.
"Drawing on the stories of biblical Marys and others whose experience with
God transformed their lives, Joanna shows how you can find the hope,
healing, wholeness, and joy your heart longs for. Having a Mary Spirit will
launch you toward lasting personal transformation–soul-deep change that
results in a complete makeover, from the inside out. "
