From Isolated to Influence

 

“He’s not listening,” Cathy fumed, as the civic leader towered over her. She went home and “plopped open” her Bible.

 

There’s got to be something here about people who don’t listen. She found over 40 ways Jesus communicated.

 

Plus, she gained new respect for one of the most fascinating women in scripture. Jesus, the Master Communicator, engaged the woman at the well in just one conversation. She immediately zipped from lonely to leadership. We can, too!

 

Queen of Fun and Coffee Cup Philosopher, Cathy Krafve delivers creativity and encouragement on every page of The Well: The Art of Drawing Out Authentic Conversations.

 

Does your child stare back with dull eyes? A spouse who refuses to hear? A parent or boss who habitually raises objections? Oh, the frustration!

 

Conversations often break down instead of breaking through.

 

The Well is perfect for your book club, Bible Study, or Sunday school class. Each chapter ends with thought-provoking questions, personal applications, and prayer.

 

Cathy puts a snappy spin on deeply spiritual truths with journalistic fervor and a knack for laughter and story-telling. A self-described “social dork,” her kryptonite is a bag of potato chips. Yep, a whole bag. Don’t judge!

 

Host of Fireside Talk Radio, her weekly blogs and podcasts reach over 3 million people annually.  She is also author of Marriage Conversations: From Co-existing to Cherished.

 

How do we go from isolated to influence? She understands good communication tools can change everything! Companionship begins with authentic conversations. Order two copies today; one for yourself and one to give to a friend!

My Thoughts

If I'm being honest, I'm not the best at communicating...and I'm certain I'm not alone in that. As such, this book is so very much needed, isn't it? 

This book takes a look at scripture--- more specifically the story of the woman at the well--- and helps us to apply it to our own lives to better engage in conversation with those around us. It really breaks down how Jesus was in conversation, and how we can apply that ourselves. While I am sure there are many books on the topic of communication out there, I definitely appreciate that this one is based in scripture with many references throughout. There is a lot of information packed within these pages and I hope to be able to learn from and apply it to my own conversations. 

As someone who has always appreciated a good inspirational quote, I must say that I also found that I enjoyed the quote at the end of each chapter to be a nice added bonus too!
