Deeper Waters

"One word comes to mind when I think of Denise Hughes: Biblical. And the one word I'd use to describe this book? Timeless. It's not trendy. Denise doesn't color outside the lines in order to be cool. She loves God's Word, knows God's Word, and articulates God's ways in a timeless, beautiful fashion. If you long to know God on a deep and profound level, Denise would tell you to spend time in His Word. Absolutely true. But I'd also say, take your time working through the pages of this book. Denise serves as a wise, godly mentor. She tackles tough questions and offers fresh insight, all at the same time. This book is a gift to God's people."
—Susie Larson, national speaker, talk radio host, author of Your Powerful Prayers

"Do you want to open the Bible, but you don't know where to begin? Or does the size and depth of God's Word intimidate you? If these questions have crossed your mind, Deeper Waters is for you. Denise's fresh look at God's Word removes that intimidation factor. She gently leads you into the Bible and takes you on a perspective-changing, life-transforming journey through its pages. Her personal stories and creative teaching style, combined with her biblical depth, transform the Bible from a textbook to a workbook. Denise equips you with practical tools to read your Bible confidently; know God intimately; apply what you learn personally; and most importantly, take what you have learned into your corner of the world."
—Wendy Blight, Proverbs 31 First 5 Writing Team, speaker, Bible teacher, and author of I Know His Name, Living So That, and Hidden Joy in a Dark Corner

"In a world searching for purpose and meaning, Denise Hughes is a teacher of truth and a storyteller of beautiful redemption. She distills the details of Scripture with a voice that rings clear, revelatory, and applicable. Deeper Waters is a journey you don't want to miss."

"Read this book with a Bible and box of tissues nearby. Part memoir and part Bible study, Denise's book will touch your heart. Her beautifully chosen words will bring you closer to the God of all comfort."
—Arlene Pellicane, author of 31 Days to Becoming a Happy Mom

"The absolute best way to hear God's voice is through His Word, both the words we read in the Bible and by taking the time—like the scribes of old—to write the Word ourselves. In ancient times, the scribes knew the Word intimately because they both studied it and wrote it out. Reading Denise J. Hughes's marvelous new book, Deeper Waters, makes me feel as if I'm sitting at the feet of a scribe whose gentle manner and profound wisdom stirs a fresh hunger in me to study God's Word. Denise employs a nonthreatening, easy-to-understand method of study. Her gentle encouragement and practical wisdom are framed by deeply moving and transparent stories of her own life, hurts, doubts, and seasons of brokenness every woman can relate to. Nothing will transform your life more than hearing the voice of God. Let Denise take you by the hand and guide you on your journey and get ready to have your life transformed."
—Kate Battistelli, author of Growing Great Kids and the mother of GRAMMY award-winning artist Francesca Battistelli

"I can't think of people I know whose lives seem to be characterized by deeper waters without thinking of Denise Hughes. A woman who has walked through difficulty as well as triumph, she has done the hard work of digging deep to find the truth of God in all of it. She is soft-spoken but strong, gentle, and wise, and I trust her heart and her ability not only to invite you into the life-changing truth of God's Word, but to help uncover it as well. A gem of a writer, teacher, and friend, I cannot say enough good things about Denise and the works of her hands."
—Logan Wolfram, author of Curious Faith and the CEO of the Allume Conference

"As a Bible teacher and pastor's wife, I am thankful for writers like Denise who faithfully and consistently point us to the truth of Scripture. As a friend, I'm thankful for women like Denise who honestly and graciously point me to Jesus. Deeper Waters is a gift to all of us who long for more of Christ and His Word. Denise has opened the Word and invited us to join her on the journey to abide fully and deeply in Christ. And we can be sure we have a thoughtful guide who has known the faithfulness and generosity of the One about whom she writes."
