"As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." Refreshing insights from former missionary Ruth Paxon point the way to a full and satisfying life in the Spirit of the living Lord, who cleanses our souls and quenches our thirst, that we may never thirst again.

Are you becoming all that you were created to be? Have you found the living water or is your soul still thirsting for it? Even in the midst of doing things for God, we often lose sight of Him in the process. We need the refreshment of not only His grace but also His truth to get back on track. Otherwise, whether we realize it or not, we are blind-sighted, wandering aimlessly, lost in the wilderness of this world and the lost-ness of our lives, yearning for but never finding that water that can quench our thirst forever. It is my prayer and hope that the Lord will use the pages of this book to quench your soul's thirst for Him. In a dry and weary land, may the pages of this book give to you the rich and wonderful hope that is ours as we draw closer to the One whose well never runs dry.

This substantial volume includes more than fifty never-before-published expository sermons on John 4 from one of the twentieth century's greatest preachers. It was just a conversation between two people by the side of a well in Samaria. One, a local woman, came to perform her daily task of drawing water. Another, a Jewish man tired from traveling, sat down for a drink. But he wasn't just any Jewish man, and this wasn't just any conversation. The man, Jesus, revealed himself as the Messiah, leading to the conversion of not only the Samaritan woman but many from her town. Now, for the first time, fifty-six sermons by Martyn Lloyd-Jones on this passage of Scripture are available in Living Water. Lloyd-Jones, known for his ability to clearly communicate profound theological concepts, digs into this familiar passage from the fourth chapter of the Gospel of John, exposing fresh layers of truth. His perceptive analysis is helpful for all who thirst for the living water that only Jesus can provide.

In a world where there are 68 million searches for pornography every day and where over 70 percent of Christian men report viewing porn in the last year, it's no surprise that more and more men struggle with an addiction to this false fantasy.

Cusick's insights help readers understand how porn struggles begin, what to do to prevent them, and most importantly, how to overcome the compulsion once it begins. In the end, this powerful book shows us all how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.
