Q: WHAT IS THE "WHY" BEHIND YOUR RECENT BOOK, The Well-Watered Woman?
A: (Gretchen) “God has been weaving the message of Well-Watered Woman together my entire life. I became a Christ-follower at the age of 7, but it wasn’t until my college years that I truly began to understand the depth, beauty, and power of the Gospel in everyday life. After walking through an eating disorder and then later trudging through the quicksand of depression and anxiety, I found myself wondering, ‘How do I follow Jesus in my daily mundane and pursue him in the hard seasons of life?’ This question birthed the vision for the book. I wrote this book for the woman who wants more of Jesus in her everyday life because, to be totally honest, I am that woman! I’m the woman who has run tirelessly in a race for a prize that is out of reach and unsatisfying. But I am also the woman, by God’s unmerited grace, who aches to spend my brief, numbered days here on earth chasing Jesus, the only prize worth pursuing in this life.
TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY GAIN A HEART OF WISDOM. - PSALM 90:12
I PRESS ON TOWARD THE GOAL TO WIN THE PRIZE FOR WHICH GOD HAS CALLED ME HEAVENWARD IN CHRIST JESUS. - PHILIPPIANS 3:14
I have been the dried-up woman, and now because of Jesus, I am the well-watered woman—and you can be too. This book will take you on a journey from the dried-up life to a well-watered life that is abundant, whole, and free in Christ! This is the life he came to give, and this is the life he equips you to live.”
We want to bless one of you dear sisters with some perfect summer reading that will complement your time in the Word.
