ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Diana Wallis Taylor, San Diego resident, is an award-winning Christian author and speaker who shares her personal testimony to women\u2019s groups. The Lord gave Diana a desire to write a book about the woman of Samaria who encountered Jesus at Jacob\u2019s Well. It was at the edge of the well where the woman of Samaria found the living water of Jesus.<\/p>\n

A native Californian, Diana Wallis Taylor graduated from San Diego State University. She has had many occupations; elementary and junior high school teacher, bookshop owner, and conference director for a Christian college. A poet since the age of 12, she published a book of poems, Wings Of The Wind<\/a>, in 1994, now republished with watercolor illustrations in 2006. She has received awards in songwriting and poetry and her writing contributions appear in various books and magazines. The author speaks on the woman at the well in conjunction with her own testimony. She also speaks on A Walk in the Darkness<\/em>, on her family involvement in the occult and how it affected her life.<\/p>\n

Diana lives with her husband Frank in San Diego, California and between them they have six grown children and ten grandchildren. In addition to her speaking and writing, she serves on the board of the San Diego Christian Writer\u2019s Guild and is active in Christian Women\u2019s Fellowship.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>She went to the well for water. What she found there would change her life forever. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Marah is a young girl in love with her childhood friend, Jesse. When she is forced to marry an older man, she must abandon her dreams of happiness. At the mercy of men who are often only interested in using her, Marah must fight for survival. Will she ever meet a man who can save her?<\/p>\n

The story of the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well is one of hope, redemption, and a life changed in an instant through a remarkable encounter. Jesus told her “everything she’d ever done,” but we are left to wonder at the circumstances that led her life on such a tragic path to begin with. Now from the creative mind of Diana Wallis Taylor comes the full story of the woman at the well.<\/p>\n

This well-researched portrayal of a woman’s life in the time of Jesus opens a window into a fascinating world. Taylor’s rich descriptions of the landscapes, lifestyles, and rituals mesh easily with the emotional and very personal story of one woman who desperately seeks to rise above the difficult circumstances of her life. <\/span><\/p>\n
