About the Book
Encounters at the Well offers nine devotional lessons that will draw your heart closer to Jesus as He touches it with His loving, penetrating truth, just like He did with the famous "woman at the well" in John 4 in the Bible.
Book Synopsis
One of the many remarkable things about Jesus is this: He never leaves anything the way He found it.
That includes you.
Whether water to wine or a broken heart made whole, Jesus is in the transformation business, partnering with His Father's plan to restore each of us to His original design and destiny for us. "I came that they might have life," Jesus said, "and might have it abundantly" (John 10:10).
Encounters at the Well will provide you with nine devotional lessons that will draw your heart closer to Jesus as He touches it with His loving, penetrating truth, just like He did with the famous "woman at the well" in John 4 in the Bible. Through your own encounters with Jesus as you work through pages of this book, either on your own or with a group, God's love and grace will come alive to you in a fresh way. Your heart will be renewed and transformed, so you can increasingly experience the life of joy and freedom He intended you to live!

"Jesus is poised to heal, but sometimes we feel too fragile, wounded, and broken to surrender ourselves to Him. In a fresh, simple way, complete with an abundance of biblical references, Arlyn imparts powerful spiritual principles for finding freedom from the things that bind us."
Grace Running-Nichols
Author of The Color of God
"Challenging-yet inviting and encouraging-Encounters at the Well is easily accessible by people from all backgrounds, wherever they are on their faith journey. Here, profound biblical truths are made clear, understandable, and applicable, while helpfully advocating the imperative for Christians to deepen their faith in the context of living, accountable relationships."
Rev. Dr. Tim Peppiatt

"Encounters at the Well invites women to look at core heart issues, bring them to Jesus, and replace them with freeing truths. It will give women's groups ways to go below the surface and talk about hurts many have experienced but have not had a space to talk about. Encounters at the Well will open the way to a path of freedom for many."
Connie Willems
Counselor, Former Editor of Discipleship Journal (NavPress)
"If you deeply desire the transformation that God is calling you to, this is the book that will lead the way, guide your heart, be the light for each step for your soul. Instead of taking the stairs on your spiritual journey, Arlyn's insightful, inspired work is an escalator that will carry your soul into deeper intimacy and union with the Scriptures and God Himself."
