Book Description
After a lifetime of turmoil, shame, disappointments, depression, bad decisions, rejection, barrenness and now an empty soul, the Woman at the Well is ready to receive the living water Jesus offers...but first she must own her imperfections and shortcomings. ***** Finally, she musters enough courage and says, "Sir, give me this water that I may not thirst nor come here to draw water." Aida cannot comprehend the meaning of the stranger's words because she's not thinking spiritually. Her mindset is of the flesh, hoping to avoid her daily journey of traveling such a long distance for water in the day's heat. Then Aida begins to feel the self-imposed barriers releasing her heart, and her spirit feels calm, serene, and peaceful. Just on the verge of her soul becoming completely free, the stranger gives a jaw-dropping, gut-wrenching, horrifying command. He tells her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." Baffled, perplexed, bewildered, and ashamed all at the same time, Aida feels the chains tighten their grip around her heart with increased intensity, reclaiming control. Aida gasps, ruminating over his words, "Husband? Did he say go call my husband?" ***** In Quench the Thirst, LaJuana R. Sherman invites us to contemplate the life of this remarkable woman, weaving a tapestry of imagination and faith that offers a fresh perspective on her encounters with the divine. The story of the Woman at the Well, as recounted in the Gospel of John, is a powerful testament to the transformative power of grace and compassion. LaJuana's unique approach of storytelling, which she aptly dubs "Inspired Creative Christian Fiction," takes us beyond the mere verses of scripture and into the vivid world she has crafted with care and reverence.

Book Description
New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller explores how people are changed by meeting Jesus personally—and how we can be changed encountering him today. The people who met Jesus Christ in person faced the same big life questions we face today. Like most of us, the answers handed down to them didn’t seem to work in the real world. But when they met Jesus, things immediately started to change for them. It seems he not only had the answers—he was the answer. In Encounters with Jesus, Timothy Keller shows how the central events and meetings in Jesus’ life can change our own lives forever. "Keller's work belongs on the bookshelf of every serious Bible student." —Examiner "Keller has mined the gold from these texts of Scripture, and any Christian is bound to have their minds expanded and hearts stirred." —Grace for Sinners

What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives. We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us—but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls. In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to: Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching Allow God’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communion You thirst because you are thirsted for. Take a rich, vulnerable journey toward an inner knowing with God as you step over shame, receive His love, and drink Him deeply. The very journey you were made for.

Book Description
I Am helps women end the barrage of negative self-talk and replace it with an empowering new narrative. You'll exchange lies for truth, insecurity for a rock-solid identity, and break free from the distorted messages that have held you hostage for too long. From the moment a woman wakes until she falls, exhausted, on her pillow, one question plagues her at every turn: Am I enough? The pressure to do more, be more has never been more intense. Online marketing. Self-help books. Movies, magazines, and gym memberships. Even church attendance and social media streams have become a means of comparing ourselves to impossible standards. Am I pretty enough? Hip enough? Spiritual enough? We fear the answer is "No." When a brutal bout with cancer changed how she looked, talked, and lived, Michele Cushatt embarked on a soul-deep journey to rediscover herself. The typical self-esteem strategies and positivity plans weren't enough. Instead, she needed a new foundation, one that wouldn't prove flimsy when faced with the onslaught of day-to-day life. With raw personal stories, profound biblical teaching, and radical truths on which to rebuild your life, I Am will help you: Refuse to ride the rollercoaster of others' opinions and start believing what God says about you. Stop agonizing over past regrets and failures and make peace with God's sovereign plan for your life. Leave insecurity behind as you exchange temporary fixes for an identity established on God's unchanging affection. I Am reminds us that our value isn't found in our talents, achievements, relationships, or appearance. It is instead found in a God who chose us, sent us, and promised to be with us--forever.
