On the Nightstand: Grace in Tension: Discover Peace with Martha and Martha

I had the pleasure of scanning through a galley of Claire McGarry’s wonderful new book, and now I’m looking forward to holding it in my own hands as I read it. Regardless of how much we grow spiritually, I’m betting we all still identify with Martha telling Jesus, “Make my sister help me!” and Mary not coming out to greet Jesus when He arrives too late to save their brother (or so they think!). Claire interweaves personal stories with this scripture study. If you struggle to set aside your daily life’s stress to trust and embrace the peace that surpasses all understanding, I think you’ll enjoy this one.
