The Well: The Art of Drawing Out Authentic Conversation
Does your spouse refuse to hear? Do your children stare without comprehending? Does your parent or boss habitually raise objections to your good ideas?
Oh, the frustration! Conversations often break down instead of breaking through.
She changed from a woman alone to a woman of influence. Her faith transformed a whole community. How did she do it? In The Well, Cathy Krafve points out 40 strategies Jesus used to prompt authentic conversation—by analyzing just one conversation with the woman at the well.
These strategies will help you:
- Initiate simple communication principles to transform all your conversations. Go from magical thinking to miraculous results in a matter of a few biblical truths.
- Invigorate your closest relationships with terrific communication. Watch the ripple effect as your conversations spread truth and joy throughout all your relationships.
- Inspire others through authentic conversations. Enjoy the intimate companionship our hearts all crave.
Are you ready to foster tender, effective conversations with everyone around you? Don’t miss your chance to transform all your relationships!
My thoughts: I always feel like I either over share or can come across totally opposite of what I am trying to say, so I was thrilled to to pick up this book and read through the author's thoughts on looking at the art of conversation and how we talk/share through the lens of the scriptures. I never thought to do that, so I thought that this book was a much needed help for me! The author does a wonderful job of using humor and examples to get her points across. This is a wonderful book to pick up and enjoy!
I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review.

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!

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.
