Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The best time to dig a well isn't when you're dying of thirst. It's when it's raining.

We usually know what needs to change when life hurts.

We make plans when the relationship is failing. We take our health seriously after a frightening diagnosis. We save money after the emergency. We set boundaries when we can't take anymore. We promise ourselves that this time will be different.

Then the rain comes.

The crisis passes. The pain eases. Life becomes comfortable again.

And we stop digging.

Digging a Well in the Rain is a modern parable about one village that learns this lesson the hard way. When the water begins to disappear, its people desperately start digging a well. But just as fear finally pushes them into action, the rain returns.

The barrels fill.

The danger seems to be over.

And the unfinished well no longer feels important.

Through Mara, Tomas, Elias, Sela, Lio, and the people around them, a simple problem becomes a much larger question:

How do we keep doing important work after the urgency that started it is gone?

This is a story about preparation, complacency, persistence, judgment, responsibility, and the quiet work that prevents tomorrow's problems before they become emergencies.

Because preparation is not about predicting the future perfectly.

It is about using the time you have before the future makes the decision for you.

Somewhere in your life, there may already be an unfinished well.

A change you started when something hurt.

A promise you made during a difficult season.

Something important that became easy to postpone once things got better.

The rain has come.

The question is whether you will keep digging.
