The most beautiful sound that could resonate through the air is a melody. Melodies are often distinct, because they are usually soft and soothing. In melodies, you are able to identify each instrument's "voice." For example, poetry has a voice, and most poetry has a melody were the voice resonates, such as the following, "Orchestra of God"

Each cause you embrace a hymn of praise.
Each good deed you do a clanging gong.
Make your life a perfect harmony.
Each thought and every hope a trumpet and a drum.

The excerpt from "Orchestra of God" comes from Woman at the Well: Thirsting for Grace, a book which is a melody of words, thoughts and excerpts from the bible which displays the poignant understanding of living in grace. This Christian book isn't an ordinary book of prose and poetry, but it is truly a teaching tool.

Author Moss divides her book into three sections: Searching for God's Saving Grace, Discovering God's Amazing Grace, and Relying Upon God's Sufficient Grace. Within those sections, she connects stories, testimonies, and poetry to bible verses; and they in turn provide the understanding of the grace of God and his work in her life and in that of yours.

For example, Moss identifies that there must be a time where listening to God is most important.

"We need to stop and take an inventory of our lives. Really think about the value and the meaning of each activity and determine if participating in them is worth the time and energy expended."

Additionally, Moss infuses lessons where it forces the reader to remember the reason for why we should thirst in "Empty me. Fill me."...

Empty me of all that is fearful
Empty me of all that is self-involved.
Empty me of all that is controlling
Empty me of all hunger for more than my body needs.

Mary O. Moss has a divine gift. She serves God by sharing her talent by speaking to Christians through her journey of expressing God's love through "...utterance(s) of wisdom." Woman At The Well is a book which can be used in a variety of methods, book clubs, churches, and personal enrichment. Author Moss, also known for her business, Divinely Designed which is named perfectly to that of her ministry, reaching to the reader so that they continue to thirst for grace.

This book provides inspiration through scripture which is especially geared for those who are having difficulty with today's economic and social pressures who would find comfort in the word of God. Mary's devotionals hit home to so many women who are struggling with life today.

Mary O. Moss is the vessel God uses to pour love, wisdom and encouragement to the reader. Laced with Biblical Example and Scripture, the poems and short works really encouraged me. As I read I thought what a perfect gift book for someone who might be hurting through their own choices or even circumstances. I believe this would be a great book for someone who is searching for fulfillment, much like the Biblical woman at the well. Lastly, I think it's a wonderful work to keep for yourself. Let God love on you. Woman at the Well is a perfect means to feel His love today.
