Lazarus Awakening: Finding your Place in the Heart of God (Bethany Trilogy (Quality))

This is the third book I have read by Joanna Weaver, and it did not disappoint. To think that Lazarus never uttered a word in scripture yet she has written a whole book about him and his being brought back to life by our Lord Jesus Christ. She thoroughly goes into each step of the way with Martha and Mary and is very helpful. I find I can only read her books in short bites as I have to digest them and dwell on what she is challenging me about.If you have never before read any of her books, I would recommend all of them - Mary's Heart in a Martha World and Mary's Spirit. It will encourage you to love the Lord more fervantly and serve Him faithfully.DL

I really enjoy this writers work, the style is easy to read and the content is applicable to daily life and faith; 'Lazarus Awakening' is a good end to the trilogy. I have not finished it yet but it is causing much discussion in our study group, I would recommend these books.The book arrived in time and in good condition; I'm very pleased with it, it was given to me as a gift.

wondering whats happening to the other books..thank you

was a little disappointed ... perhaps I had too great an expectation ...

I have read Mrs. Weaver's other two books and greatly enjoyed them. I greatly looked forward to reading this one and was not disappointed. While stepping on my toes a bit, I learned a great deal, was reminded of teachings I have known since childhood, and came away with feelings of hope for the future. This book looks closely at the account of Lazarus's resurrection and offers practical advice on how we can deal with times of struggle in our own lives. It also wrestles with those feelings of doubt and worthiness we all struggle with. I do not always agree with Mrs. Weaver on matters of doctrine. For instance I believe that baptism is necessary for salvation. The sinners prayer is not found in the bible. However, Mrs. Weaver has many good and true lessons to teach us and has given me much to think about. I highly recommend all of her books!

"Lazarus Awakening" is a great disappointment, and our Bible Study group stopped reading half way through. The questions after each chapter did seem appropriate and the reader had to look up quotes in the Bible that did not seem relevant.Our Bible Study group thoroughly enjoyed "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World", so we expected another great book by the same author.We do not recommend this book.

For far great study! Altho it’s a good thing I bought two of them because my book is missing pages 81 - 84. I had to barrow my daughters book to read those pages. Kind of odd for it to be missing. Not even ripped out just missing completely. Possibly more are missing as I haven’t finished it yet.

I read this book one chapter at a time over the course of three weeks. I'm glad I didn't rush. It's an excellent reminder that our time on earth is limited--that bad things happen and we can still trust God. I loved how Joanna explains God created us to be His friends. He loves us, and we don't have to worry and fret.

The Lazarus Awakening book was the older version which should have been described in the description, it does have lots of notes and highlights in it. This is probably why I buy new most of the time and there was no DVD which comes with the book. With all this being said I am happy with the book and it will suit the purpose. thank you and God Bless

I went through this study with a group of women at my church. We also watched the videos. The lessons were thought-provoking, challenging and relevant.

Another wonderful book by Joanne Weaver. She has matured in her own insights and uses fewer references than she did in her first book.

This book was used in a group study! As always, any book by Patricia Shirer is amazing and you don’t want to put it down.

I have read the first two books with our women's ministry and felt led to read this last one before 2015. We are beginning the series this Saturday with chapters 1 & 2 and are already beginning to be convicted for transformation and change. Strongly recommended for women's study groups and or personal enrichment. The first two books must be read to experience the entire transformation. (Having a Mary's Heart in a Martha's World and Having a Mary's Spirit). These books are a tremendous Blessing. I would love to meet the author personally who have ministered so deeply to our spirits.

Joanna, you done it again! I am conducting my summer reading Bible Study with your new book and what an awesome revelation we are all having. Thank you for pointing out when Love calls your name and calls you to Him, it is a new love affair with the Lord and His ways. I want to hear Him call my name and learn to remove all the graveclothes and this is a perfect way. I highly recommend this for personal reading and for Bible Study groups. It is not just for women! Don't miss it!

The condition on the book was in excellent condition! Very happy!

Wonderful! Do her other studies "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" and "Having a Mary Spirit" first. Joanna Weaver is a personable, inspiring teacher whom you'll love!

The book is being used for the Eden Valley Church Women's Bible Study. The book, once it finally arrived is fine.The challenge was in the late shipping.We ordered the book on October 23, 2011...we were originally told the book would ship the same week with delivery on the super saving shipping mode within 5 to 7 days. The book finally started on our way...left your facility around October 31 or November 1. Since it was coming by regular shipping it arrived November 5...13 days after it was originally ordered. We ordered a couple of study books for our pastor on either October 30 or 31 and they arrived at the same time as the Lazarus books. Again by super saving shipping. The shipping time, once they entered the system was as promised. The time it took to pull, pack and get the books on their way was way later...with no communication as to the delay. Just thought you would like to know of this glitch on our order.Thanks,Tom Harrison
