Moms at the Well: Meeting God Through the Mothers of Scripture (A 7-Week Bible Study Experience)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Motherhood is hard. Really hard.
Tara Edelschick and Kathy Tuan-MacLean know this personally. As moms who have spent decades working with and encouraging other moms, they know the struggles real moms face in our real world. Their survey of more than seven hundred moms revealed that moms experience worry, anger, comparison, escapism, a desire for control, and even heartbreak while raising children. And moms long to connect with God in the midst of it all, but even that can feel like a challenge.
That’s why we need a well. For centuries, women met daily at neighborhood wells to draw water for their families, meeting a very significant physical need. But these wells were also gathering spaces, providing much-needed community and relationships.
This seven-week Bible study offers a modern-day “well” for mothers—a gathering place to encourage one another, take an honest look at the challenges we face as moms, and experience the God who invites us into a process of spiritual transformation.
Meet with moms, meet with God, and find much-needed refreshment at the well.

Tara Edelschick and Kathy Tuan-MacLean unpack motherhood—in all its unnerving, beautiful, transformative, exhausting, and confusing aspects—under the warm glow of gospel light. The truths are salient, practical, and delivered with a kind transparency that stands in stark contrast to the ways social media and the culture might afflict ‘maternal norms’ on women. If you feel inadequate raising your children, if you feel like a failure, if you feel like your kids deserve more than you have to offer, Moms at the Well is a balm of encouragement that can transform the way you see yourself, your family, and your loving God.

As I began to read Moms at the Well, I was hooked by the introduction! I teach a women’s Bible study with lots of young mothers, and I look forward to gifting each of them with a copy of this book! Moms today experience a loneliness and a sense of helplessness that this delightfully honest book recognizes. Based on Scripture and made readable and interactive by design, this book reads like fresh water for thirsty moms!
