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.

In the years following the senseless and tragic shooting on the campus of New Life Church in northern Colorado Springs, Colorado, senior pastor Brady Boyd has received countless questions from the faith-filled and faithless alike. As the nation watched the suffering congregation reel from the gunman's rampage and, later, steady their stance once more, the one question on everyone's mind was, "How has New Life weathered such a horrible storm so well?" In Fear No Evil, Boyd answers with eloquence and grace, paving a path toward hope for anyone who is walking through the "valley of the shadow of death" and is tempted to camp out there. This story of tragedy and triumph will release you from life's common traps of doubt and despair. Whether you are a parent who has lost a child, a single mom who feels overwhelmed, a middle-aged man starting over after bankruptcy, a student trying to make sense of life and the world at large, or simply someone who wonders where God is in the midst of your suffering, the considerations and counsel offered here will serve as a lifeline for your soul.

How Wiccan Spirituality Is Filling a Spiritual Hunger in America Hundreds of thousands of people practice Wicca and other forms of modern Pagan spirituality in America today, and journalist Catherine Edwards Sanders wanted to understand why such belief systems are rapidly attracting followers. When a routine magazine assignment led her to realize that her stereotype of Wiccans as eccentric spiritual outsiders was embarrassingly misinformed, her curiosity compelled her to understand the Wiccan mystique. With the support of a journalism fellowship, Sanders spent a year interviewing neo-Pagans and witches and found that the lure of this emerging spirituality was not the occult, but rather a search for meaning in an increasingly fragmented and materialistic culture. With keen observation, challenging insight, and compassionate critique, Sanders produces a lively narrative about what she experienced and discovered during her travels: Halloween rituals in Salem, anti-globalization protests in New York, and the contrasts between what seekers find in neo-Paganism that they perceive as lacking in Christian tradition. In Wicca’s Charm, Sanders explains the powerful attraction of an increasingly mainstream spirituality that celebrates the wonder of creation and the life-giving energy of women while also exploring why Christian churches often fail to engage these seekers, but how they can learn to tap into the deep roots of Christianity to nourish the hunger of so many who seek a holistic and authentic worship experience.
