NEW YORK, April 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Jeannie Keneley lived through three destructive marriages and divorces. As a practicing Christian, she wondered how God could have let this happen. While having this many failed marriages is a controversial subject matter in the secular world, Keneley says it's downright "taboo" in the church.

Gleaning from the biblical story of the Woman at the Well, Jeannie paints a story of two women separated by two thousand years of history, but intrinsically woven together by their shared experience of abuse, betrayal, and abandonment and their journey of healing through God's amazing grace.

Retelling the biblical tale of the Woman at the Well along with her own life story, Keneley takes reader on a journey into a woman's heart and examines subjects such as forgiveness, self-esteem, and personal responsibility, moving from emotional despair to hope and happiness.

Jeannie Keneley says that the church needs to learn to embrace those that have been historically shunned and written off as sinners. She says that women in particular are not comfortable talking with the church about their private pain or feelings of depression, even when the dissolution of a marriage is not damaged by abuse. In her experience in speaking with Christian women she has found that regardless of one's circumstances, being emotionally scarred can make it almost impossible to move on without help and that these women need to know that they are not alone and that God has not abandoned them.

By drawing parallels between Jeannie's very personal pain and the life of a notorious, misunderstood biblical character, this story will leave readers with profound insight and offers hope for anyone they know that is traveling the very lonely road of healing from the pain of the past.

Jeannie Keneley has enjoyed an entrepreneurial career spanning more than 20 years in the Interior Design field. Over her career, Jeannie has built and sold four small businesses, counting several nationwide corporations as well as residential homeowners among her clients. Jeannie now is a full-time Christian author and speaker with a passionate heart for the hurting, and an encouraging message for anyone that finds them self lonely and lost in the process of life.

They divide their time between the Seattle area where they are members of Timberlake Christian Fellowship, and Southern California where they attend North Coast Calvary Chapel. www.JeannieKeneley.com
