Sinossi

“I am no longer valuable to God. I have failed. It’s all a mess. I must hide from my Father.”
Once we embrace that perspective, it begins to permeate every layer of life and inevitably impacts our relationship with God.

The reader is invited to connect with the Samaritan woman and others who were held in the imposed bondage of fear and shame through varied circumstances. This beautiful work, “Conversations at the Well,” lovingly sewn together with sometimes painful threads of the author's own unique life experiences, offers the freedom of Jesus Christ that breaks those chains and offers fullness of life.

Joni Eareckson Tada has this to say: Conversations at the Well is an extraordinary collection of insightful narratives for a generation desperate to know that grace is greater than shame and that no one is beyond the reach of God’s redeeming love. For anyone who has ever wondered, "Am I enough?" or has felt the urge to retreat from others and hide from God, Susan Habegger offers a powerful message of hope and healing. Readers will discover that the answer to shame is not greater self-esteem or self-effort, but a deeper understanding of the grace, acceptance, and saving love of Christ. Like the woman at the well who encountered Jesus and left transformed, we are invited to bring our own stories, scars, disappointments, and secrets into His presence. Change is possible, Susan assures us. So, I wholeheartedly recommend Conversations at the Well, and my prayer is that every reader who opens its pages will hear the voice of Jesus calling them out of hiding and into the freedom, joy, and purpose that can only be found in Him. In short, I love this book!

For the Samaritan woman it all began with a conversation at the well on an ordinary day. Where might Jesus come to you—that place in your activities, your emotions, where you have adjusted to live under the confines of the fear? What questions might Jesus ask you that would grow in intensity until—yes, there it is—that place of pain, fear, and shame? This book offers compassionate moments to discover, with Jesus's help, the wounds that provide a source for accusation.

Conversations At The Well reminds us of truth. The deceiver feeds the lie that you are isolated—and should remain that way. The truth is that God provides a brilliant solution: for disobedience, for painful wounds, for false accusations, and assignments of shame.

We struggle on our own and attempt to calm the anxiety, and to quiet the unsettledness. It may be time to simply admit that we are quite thirsty. That we have a yearning deep within. For the Samaritan woman, it all came together on that day. But, her story had always been held by Jesus. From the beginning, He saw her. He knew her and her pain. He loved her. He valued her.

This is true for your story, as well. God has declared you valuable and of great worth to His eternal purpose. In many moments, Jesus steps into your story—even when you do not recognize Him. Often, we simply need a good conversation at the well with Jesus.
