Mary's Choice Sitting at Jesus' Feet: Mary and Martha

Kids’ Bible Stories

De: Ayokunle Mathew Akinbi

Narrado por: Jenna Perry

In the cozy town of Bethany, two sisters, Martha and Mary, are about to receive the most important guest they've ever known: Jesus himself!

Martha, always busy and hardworking, springs into action. She wants to create the perfect meal and a spotless home. The kitchen fills with the sounds of clanging pots and the delicious smell of baking bread as she rushes to serve her Lord.

But Mary, her quiet and thoughtful sister, makes a different choice. She leaves the chores behind to sit at Jesus's feet, soaking in every wonderful word and story He shares.

When Martha's frustration boils over, Jesus teaches a gentle but powerful lesson about the one thing that is truly needed.

Mary's Choice: Sitting at Jesus' Feet immerses young listeners in a timeless story, brought to life with rich sensory details that allow them to see, hear, and feel what it was like to be in the presence of Jesus. It’s a beautifully told tale that gently explores the difference between busy service and the profound peace of choosing "the better part"—a treasure that lasts forever.

Love it!

What an amazing work of art- the timeless Bible story presented in a new light with such clear picturesque writing and beautifully narrated! You really feel like you are there with how the scene is described, and the narrator has such a pleasant, calm but powerful voice! I’m not an audible learner but this story had me in the edge of my seat seeking more and more. I’ve never felt more connected with what Mary and Martha must have been feeling. The story makes everything so relatable and relevant to today. 10/10 recommend
