- If you identify with Martha from the Mary and Martha story in the New Testament, then Martha to the Max: Balanced Living for Perfectionists was written for you. In this humorous yet “to the point” paperback, Debi Stack pokes fun at herself and her “Martha Buddies” for their terribly busy and perfectionist ways. At the same time, she provides practical methods to leave “Martha thinking” behind. This enjoyable book will point any Martha’s in a more Mary direction.
