INTRODUCTION
In Chasing God, Serving Man, I sought to negotiate a peace treaty between the Marys and the Marthas in the Church. We look for a resting place so that there can be peacea refuge that is both a place for caring worship of the Lord and comforting support for humanity.
It is my hope that the whole Body of Christ will create a home where the Marys entertain His divinity and the Marthas host His humanity.
God wants both Mary and Martha in the house.
The key is for Gods people to cross the dividing line of passion and compassion and meet Him at the convergence of the cross
the single point in time and space where passion for His presence and compassion for His highest creation meet ( Chasing God,Serving Man, 156).
I am a God chaser who is in passionate pursuit of God. This is the heart of my ministry, GodChasers.network. I have given my life to inspire and motivate the Body of Christ to increase the intensity of their spiritual pursuit. But I do believe that Gods people should get their hands dirty in the service of men. I have used my base of ministry to network these dual passions of the Marys and the Marthas, creating a resting place for these two ministries.
In The Mary/Martha Principles we have created a resource book that will help the Body of Christ build that resting place. This is a how to book that will answer the many questions you have on pursuit and service. There are a lot of books on prayer in the market and many great spiritual cookbooks that promote our life in God. Unfortunately, there are precious few prayer and compassion books that can inspire us on one hand and give us practical steps on the other.

T h e M a r y / M a r t h a P r i n c i p l e s We must put our passion into motion. Like the old phrase goes,
this is where the rubber meets the road. In this book the practical merges with the inspirational. The end product is just what you need to get you on the highway towards the passionate chase and compassionate action.
I am so excited to present this carefully constructed resource book to you. It will accomplish both objectives. It will serve as spiritual food that will strengthen you on your journey. On the other hand, it will also provide a road map to equip you with directions to reach that special place of passionate pursuit of God and compassionate service of men.
The Mary/Martha Principle is a collection of carefully crafted recipes for both seasons in your life. To create this recipe I have asked my many friends to help me produce this practical and inspiring collection. It will be spiritual support for your contemplative praying and sensible solutions for your compassionate serving.
