There's Always Water in the Wilderness: A Close Look at the Biblical Motifs of Wells and Wildernesses Kari Cope

There's Always Water in the Wilderness walks readers through a close textual analysis of the biblical motifs of wells and wilderness, prompting greater delight in the beauty of the written Word and expanded understanding of its truths and their application. Each of the chapters dealing specifically with the motifs includes suggested biblical readings, allowing readers to more readily engage in the close reading process.

The events of the Bible are rooted in history and related to us as literature. As Christians, knowing what happened in the Bible is an important element of our discipleship. Knowing why it is recorded and conveyed to us the way it is can further our insight and strengthen our faith.

There's Always Water in the Wilderness offers us hope that "our own wilderness wanderings are not purposeless," because in and even through them, we are offered Living Water that meets our deepest need.
