Well Woman: Exchanging a Life of Regrets for a Legacy of Love

The Samaritan woman at the well had secrets she would have liked to have kept hidden-and yet Jesus went out of his way to meet her. He took the skeletons out of her closet, and instead of repulsion, he loved her unconditionally. In Well Woman, author Angel Henning presents a ten-week healing Bible study designed to teach women how to "take off their makeup" and come to Jesus just as they are in order to be healed from the scars of secret sin, destructive habits, trauma, and self-doubt. Using the experiences of her own pain and despair resulting from both her own choices and those of others, Henning reveals her journey of sin and suffering, inviting women to lay down their facades and take an honest look inward. Using the biblical analogy of the outcast Samaritan woman who meets Jesus at the well, Henning explains that a well woman is a woman who trusts Jesus to meet her every need. Well Woman weaves Scriptures, the theories and thoughts of well-known psychologists, and quotes from Christian writers, as well as references to song lyrics and social media, to show how one can be transformed by the overwhelming love and power of God. Well Woman leads us in the journey to examine our heart and its inclination to find worth and meaning in a thousand ineffective ways. We can discover the true wellspring of life in our savior, Jesus Christ.
