This review is from: Meet Me at the Well: Take a Month and Water Your Soul (Paperback)

This book came to me at just the right time. I felt like I was about to smother and I was wearing so many hats in tending to my family. I felt hopeless and everything was so out of control with one in the nursing home, one dying, one recently died, trying to enjoy grandchildren and help with them some, be a decent mother (even if my daughter is grown), somewhat of a so-so wife, and deal with a chronic illness myself!

I heard the author on the radio one day talking about her book and it was like she wrote it just for me! After listening to her for a bit, I realized she wrote it from her own hectic situation. It was good for me to know that there are so many of us out there trying to do the same thing.

Anyway, I love this book. I have given it as a gift to others in hopes they will gain a blessing as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Virelle Met Me at the Well, March 20, 2008

This review was written by my wife, Shirley Murphey:

Virelle Kidder's book Meet Me at the Well is a must read for women. She is honest about every part of her life, admitting to bouts of depression, doubts, and extreme stress; yet as we identify ourselves with her problems, she lovingly leads us to Christ, the living water of life.

The illustrations are written from a woman's point of view, but spiritually thirsty men will also enjoy a drink at the well.

Virelle admits to "down" times in her daily walk with the Lord, but as she has been lifted to higher places she carries readers with her to "up" times when the walk changes to a happy skip. She offers Scripture passages for spiritual uplifting in a daily section titled "Living Water."

After quenching our thirst, we're encouraged to do something tangible: write in a journal; share the experience with a group of friends; search our hearts for needed changes; make an encouraging phone call; write out a prayer of commitment; or even just spend a few minutes resting and relaxing.

Although the book is written as a devotional guide to be read and acted on each day in a month, I found that some chapters kept me enthralled for two or three days, not because of lack of time to read, but the need to reread meaningful passages and let the deep waters drench my special thirst.

This book was recommended to me by a friend who knew that I did not particularly enjoy reading devotional material - I am glad that I listened to her. The reader is touched emotionally as Mrs. Kidder uses Scripture to discribe challenging days in her own life - she is transparent and thoughtful. Easy and enjoyable to read. Not "preachy." For anyone who is facing struggles in life - and needing a soothing lesson from Scripture.
