LODI, Wis. - s4story -- Do you feel a tension between DOING enough and simply BEING? Does your life feel over-full, over-committed, and over-scheduled?

If so, then the book "The Mary Experiment: When DOING and BEING Collide" might be up your alley. Written by local author Dianne Deaton Vielhuber, this non-fiction book encourages readers to transition from over-extended busyness to finding ways to find more joy, contentment and peace in their lives.

"I draw upon my personal experiences of constantly being busy," says Vielhuber. "I now call myself a recovering Martha. Now, I intentionally find ways in which I am not always focused on doing but can simply enjoy life more."

For five years, Vielhuber was the pastor of the Poynette Inch United Methodist Church. She stepped away from pastoral ministry to pursue writing this book. Drawing upon the biblical story of two sisters named Martha and Mary, Vielhuber takes the story and reframes it into modern cultural context. Readers who purchase the book can also download a free Journal & Reflection Question Guide to assist in developing their own Mary Experiment.
