My desire to write this story was to find meaning in the scriptures for the present culture. For me, there is always a desire to understand how society is impacting my present day. My culture is Christian in nature, Biblical in belief and Christ centered in devotion. In my Christian world view, the term Antichrist comes up. The New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible refers to the word Antichrist as "one who causes a false faith" or "one against or in place of". The meaning of the word would allow John to write "...it is the last time; and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time" I John 2:18. In the Bible there are many antichrists but there is only one, "The Antichrist" that can be applied to Revelations 16:13. Revelations 16:13 deals with the end times. It reads: "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophets." Just as there is the spirit of the Antichrist there is also the spirit of the frogs. It can be said the spirit of the three frogs are croaking in today's culture. They croak their message to disrupt, deny and defeat Christianity. In the days of Revelation 16:13 they work to destroy Israel.

Oftentimes in life, the grace of God is present, but we are not aware of it. Then something happens that shows us God's grace. This is what happened with the Samaritan woman in her encounter with Jesus at the well. This book is a fictional look at what that encounter may have looked like and what happened as a result. As with the Samaritan woman, when we truly encounter Jesus' grace, our lives are never the same.
