An Unexpected Conversation (Paperback)

Paperback. An Unexpected ConversationA Story-Based Workbook Inspired by the Woman at the WellThis workbook is not about fixing yourself.It is about noticing where you reach for water.Inspired by the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4, An Unexpected Conversation invites readers into a slow, honest journey of reflection, one rooted in Scripture, story, and gentle self-awareness.Rather than offering quick answers or spiritual formulas, this workbook creates space to listen. Through guided Scripture readings, reflective questions, journaling pages, and two carefully designed self-reflection tools, readers are invited to notice the patterns, habits, and longings they carry, and to bring them into conversation with Jesus.At the heart of the workbook is the image of twelve "jars," shared human patterns where people often draw comfort, control, approval, or meaning when life feels heavy or uncertain. These jars are not labels or diagnoses. They are invitations to awareness.This workbook is designed for: Individual reflectionCouples walking side-by-sideSmall groups or church studiesRetreats and guided settingsYou will find: Five Scripture-centered sessions following the story of John 4Gentle reflection prompts and journaling spaceA Surface Test to notice everyday patternsA Deeper Test to explore what may lie beneath themClear permission to go slowly, skip questions, or pause when neededLeader and group guidance included in the back of the workbookThis is not therapy.It is not a test you must pass.It is not about completing every page.It is a place to notice, listen, and respond, at your own pace.Jesus never forced truth.He invited it.This workbook does the same.
