A Story-Based Workbook Inspired by the Woman at the Well

This workbook is not about fixing yourself.

It is about noticing where you reach for water.

Inspired by Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, An Unexpected Conversation invites readers into a slow, honest journey of reflection rooted in Scripture, story, and gentle self-awareness.

Rather than offering quick answers or spiritual formulas, this workbook creates space to listen. Through guided Scripture readings, thoughtful questions, journaling pages, and two self-reflection tools, readers are invited to notice the patterns, habits, and longings they carry-and to bring them into conversation with Jesus.

At the heart of the workbook is the image of twelve ""jars""-shared human patterns where people often look for comfort, control, approval, or meaning when life feels heavy or uncertain. These jars are not labels or diagnoses. They are invitations to awareness.

This workbook is designed for:

Individual reflection Couples walking side by side Small groups or church studies Retreats and guided settings

Inside you will find:

Five Scripture-centered sessions following the story of John 4 Gentle reflection prompts and journaling space A Surface Test to notice everyday patterns A Deeper Test to explore what may lie beneath them Permission to go slowly, skip questions, or pause when needed Leader and group guidance included in the back

This is not therapy.

It is not a test you must pass.

It is not about completing every page.

It is a place to notice, listen, and respond, at your own pace.

Jesus never forced truth.

He invited it.

This workbook does the same.

Reviews for An Unexpected Conversation

This really is one of the most unique and refreshing studies I've done on the Woman at the Well! If you are looking for something out of the ordinary to do as a Bible Study, whether alone, with a group or at a retreat or even with your spouse and/or children, I highly encourage you to take a look at this. I really do believe it will take you into a deeper and more intimate relationship on your walk with God and will be a life changing experience! Anita Jantz
