Publisher Description
Follow Naomi as she talks to women working in brothels in Mumbai; survivors of an Indonesian tsunami in which more than 160,000 lives were lost; a young girl waiting on an operation to save her life; and victims of domestic violence horrifically burned by fire. Be still with her when she realizes the pain she feels in the face of these extreme injustices reveals a common struggle that exists within all of humanity. And rise with her as she wrestles with confusion over her identity, comes face to face with redemption, and then begins to understand her own story . . . and to find her calling.
The Scent of Water will open your eyes to the complexities of the world, showing you pain can also be beauty, and how each are found in the unlikeliest of places. Zacharias doesn't have all the answers. But she has hope and encouragement that will empower you to find and begin the adventure of your life.

The Scent of Water Listener Reviews

" Writing style is too disjointed in some way I can't explain. I just never understood the flow of the story and therefore was not drawn in. She's no Anne Lamott! "

" Life changing. Every woman should read this book! "
— Teri, 11/6/2013 -
" I felt like the description of the book was misleading as it was not a story for "every kind of broken". It was more like a promotion to support Wellspring and positive stories of women who were abused and lead to prostitution. We never get to hear more than a sentence of the author's story. "

" One of the most moving and powerful books I have read. It was very thought provoking. Naomi Zacharias challenges one to drop any pretense of legalism and see the need to truly be Christ in the world. "

" Some very good stories and spiritual analogies from Naomi's experiences. I liked the story about how the wine is made in Italy and the spiritual parallels. "
