In first-century Bethany, Martha believes that working harder and controlling every detail will keep her family safe. When traveling rabbi Jesus begins staying in their home, Martha clashes with her contemplative sister Mary over what it truly means to serve God.

Through love, loss, and her growing friendship with Jesus, Martha transforms from an anxious controller to a confident woman of faith. From romance with David the merchant to witnessing her brother Lazarus's miraculous resurrection, she learns that relationship with God matters more than perfect performance.

Based on the story of Martha taken from the New Testament gospels, this novel reveals how the greatest act of service is learning to receive love.

Perfect for readers who enjoy biblical fiction with authentic characters and timeless insights about finding peace in God's grace.

A story of growth, grief, and grace for anyone overwhelmed by life's responsibilities.
