- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nancy reads this book as though she is sitting across a table from you, and it spoke to the depths of my soul! Throughout the Bible, God is telling us that HE is our all in all. Yet, we try to fill our lives with “water”of the world. We need HIS life-giving, eternity-sustaining water! Nancy reiterates this beautifully in these pages! I am buying a few copies for a few family members and pray they are touched with the TRUTH of God’s Word like I was.
