Women at the Well

Am I really enough? Is it possible to enjoy scripture study? What should I do when I'm hit with a faith crisis? How can I share the gospel without feeling so awkward? Is God really there for me during times of hardship? How do I choose faith over fear? What is grace? And how can I see and use it in my life? These are some of the many questions addressed in Ashley Dyer's devotional book Women at the Well. This 30 chapter book, which can be read day-by-day or whenever a spiritual pick-me-up is needed, delves deep into common questions and concerns held by Latter-day Saint/Christian women. Each chapter includes invitations to the reader to motivate further thought and action based on the chapter contents. Using a fun, colloquial voice, Dyer quickly engages her readers as she provides much-needed answers and insight through relatable stories and experiences that will leave the reader smiling, laughing, crying, and wanting to come back for more. Feedback from early readers includes, "This book made me think on a deep spiritual level! I loved the author's casual approach and real life application through gospel insight and paralleled analogies! I've used passages from this book in my Sunday lessons and with friends of different faiths", and "Ashley provides refreshing insight through which we can see God's hand in our life, even amongst the seemingly average and mundane times as well as the hard and troubling times. She is incredibly relatable and delivers her inspirational words with a perfect blend of humor and reverence!". Dyer herself has admitted to re-reading the book she sees as a collection of "spiritual pep talks" when a pick-me-up is needed as it provides the encouragement she needs to keep being herself, all while striving to take God's hand and step up to the plate of His breathtaking plan for her life. This is a book that will not get dusty sitting on a shelf, as it can be enthusiastically read and re-read and will always be applicable no matter what stage of life the reader is in. It is a perfect gift for any woman of faith and Dyer admits that even men have expressed interest to her in getting a copy when it comes out.
