The Woman At the Well

By Stephanie M Seaton

The Woman at the Well

 

Discover a Tale of Redemption and Grace

 

In "The Woman at the Well," Stephanie Marie Seaton, drawing inspiration from the profound story of the Samaritan woman at the well, delivers a narrative that transcends boundaries and brings a timeless message of hope and transformation.

 

A Message of Unconditional Love

 

At a time when it was uncommon for Jews and Samaritans to have any connection, Jesus went out of his way to engage with the Samaritan woman at the well. He revealed to her that he had been watching over her throughout her life and offered her grace, mercy, and forgiveness. This encounter was not about judgment but about letting her know that the Lord knew her, and He was there to extend open arms of love and acceptance.

 

Parallel Lives and Personal Journey

 

Stephanie, the author, found her own life parallel to the woman at the well. In "The Woman at the Well," she invites you into the world of a character named Sheila, offering a narrative that mirrors her personal journey. Through Sheila's story, Stephanie brings a powerful message of hope and inspiration, especially for women who have experienced brokenness in their search for love, acceptance, and redemption.

 

The Power of Redemption

 

This book reminds us that, regardless of the choices we've made or the paths we've walked in our quest for love and acceptance, the message of Christ remains unchanging. The Lord does not judge but extends open arms, patiently waiting for us to return, relinquish our endless searches, and accept His life-giving love. Just like the woman at the well, He offers living water to quench our deepest thirst, a satisfaction that transcends any earthly pursuit. No person, no man, no drug, nothing can fill the void other than Him.

 

A Path to Wholeness

 

"The Woman at the Well" is not just a story; it's an invitation to discover a path to wholeness, forgiveness, and eternal love. It's a testament to the enduring message that the Lord's love is unconditional and His mercy boundless.

Stephanie Marie Seaton invites you to join this journey of self-discovery, redemption, and faith. Explore "The Woman at the Well" and let its message resonate in your heart. It's a book that reminds us that no matter where life has taken you, the Lord's love is always there, waiting to transform your life with grace and forgiveness.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to the broken little girl that was trapped inside me. The little girl no one saw. The little girl who didn't get to live as a little girl. The little girl that I continually cried for until I finally told her story.

This is for you, Tanky, Steph and some called her Steph Marie.

FOREWORD

God has allowed me to see life from a number of vantage points. From the public

school hallways to the sacred walls of the church. We are all the picture of God’s

grace and mercy. God’s miraculous work does not discriminate. People of all

backgrounds, ethnicities, and ages can experience His power. I can testify that

once you have an encounter with God then your life will never be the same.

While God was shaping the lives of others I learned that He was also strategically

building something more in me. This was not apparent on the onset, but life has a

way of showing you a lesson that you will later use in life. In other words, the

person you are becoming is a direct reflection of what God has brought you

through. The words of the old hymn ring true, "We will understand it better By

and By!"

God has a way of showing us just how much He cares by sending partners that

have a heart for ministry. Stephanie Seaton is more than my Sister in Christ, she

has become a partner in this Kingdom Building work. I have watched her grow in

her relationship with Christ, as well as grow in the calling that God has on her life.

If we are not growing then we are stagnate . My God is a progressive God, which

means we have no place for stagnation. This only leave growing in God as the

only option.

As a part of growth in God comes the maturation of our faith and understanding

that God uses the sum total of our circumstances for His glory. Seaton has

creatively captured the Sovereign work of God through this intriguing piece of

fiction. This masterful work will bring you to the conclusion that regardless of

your past, that our God sees, He knows, and He still cares. His transformative love

covers my darkest moments. Let’s take this journey and remember that God will

take the good, bad and indifferent and use it for our benefit as well as for His glory.

Rev. Rodney C. Curry

PREFACE

John 4

New International Version

Jesus Talks with a Samaritan Woman

––––––––

Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— Although, in fact, it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. Now, he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well.
