Only the Lover Sings: Meditations on the Woman at the Well in Story and Song

The face-to-face encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well sets the stage for both Matthew Clark’s musical album and this series of thoughtful essays from Andrew Roycroft, Lanier Ivester, Théa Rosenburg, Adam Whipple, Heidi White, Jessie Todd, Adam R. Nettesheim, Amy Baik Lee, Junius Johnson, and Rex Bradshaw. Only the Lover Sings, the first book/album duo of The Well Trilogy, explores the ways God invites every one of us to bravely turn towards Jesus and be surprised by the gladdening light welling up in his face–a meeting that overflows as a life of grateful song.
