Rooted and Well-Watered: A Deeper Look at Sarah and Hagar - Paperback

by April L. Carter (Author)

How often do we consider the possible generational consequences of broken relationships with other women? The first of the Rooted & Well-Watered series, this reflective and soul-stirring book invites readers to take a deeper look at two biblical women whose lives are often oversimplified in modern faith conversations. One laughed at the promise of the impossible. The other named God in her wilderness. Through the lives of Sarah and Hagar, we explore themes of identity, legacy, womanhood, faith, jealousy, abuse, marriage, and the complicated beauty of God's promises.

At its heart, this book is about the complexity of being in community with other women. How heartbreak, jealousy, and fear can create division, and how grace, healing, and trust in God can create a bridge to sacred community. Because being in community with other women is rarely simple. But it is always worth the work.

Each chapter offers devotional insights, discussion questions, and journal prompts that encourage women to reflect deeply and lean into the Word of God as a source of healing, revelation, and restoration.
