“The Woman at the Well”’
Dale Evans
Published by Fleming H. Revell Company
1972
“The Woman at the Well” is Dale Evans Rogers’ autobiography.
She states, however, in the prologue, that more important, she intends
for the book to be her own Christian witness. The reader will find that
the work is indeed a Christian witness, and a powerful one at that!
Mrs. Rogers takes her title
from a passage in the Gospel
according to St. John. A woman
of Samaria meets Jesus at a well,
where she has gone to draw
water. Jesus asks for a drink of
water and in return, says he will
give the woman living water. The
woman asks how. ‘Jesus an-
swered and said unto her,
Whosoever drinketh of this water
shall thirst again: But whosoever
drinketh of the water that I shall
give him shall be in him a well of
water springing up into
everlasting life.” The woman
saith unto him, “Sir give me this
water, that I thirst not....... ”
Dale Evans Rogers, author of
ten books, is a well-known
Hollywood personality in her own
right. However, she is also of-
tentimes thought of as ‘‘Roy
Rogers’ Wife!” She is indeed a
beautiful person—both physically
and spiritually. One finds her
radiant spiritual character
permeating her work from
beginning to end. She has known
life at its fullest, great joys and
great sorrows. This enables her
to share a depth of wisdom and
understanding which is truly
inspiring.
Many people have read Mrs.
Rogers’ first work, Angel
Unaware, a book concerning her
young retarded child, Robin
Elizabeth. The subject of the
little mongoloid daughter is
treated also in this book, along
with the touching stories of the
Rogers’ other children, three of
whom were adopted.
Much of the joy and heartache
of the Rogers’ family life centers
about the children in their
“League of Nations” family. The
stories of Sandy, ‘‘Dodie,”” and
“Debbie’’ are told with much love

and compassion. Mrs. Rogers
shares her philosophy in dealing
with child-rearing problems. She
feels that great emphasis should
be placed upon religious
education and respect for the
great Biblical truths. It must be
said, also, that in her faimly, the
rewards of this philosophy have
unquestionably paid off hand-
somely!
Several times the author
speaks with felling about what is
popularly known as the
“generation gap.”’ She feels that
from the beginning of time, there
has been a ‘‘gap’’ between parent
and youngster, but that parents
basically DO understand their
children, admit it or not. She feels
that it is because they, too have
experienced the same pangs of
growth in their own lives!
The author devotes the best
part of a chapter to discussion of
racial tolerance. It seems most
appropriate from this remarable
woman whose very own family
has been a model of racial in-
tegration. She does admit,
however, that tolerance is not
easy or simple, that racial
prejudice is a serious problem in
our country, and that there are no
“pat” answers. She speaks of a
long, hard inner struggle of her
own, due to a basically biased
Southern heritage.
Although the author does not
dwell morbidly upon it, one is
aware of the great tragedies and
failures that beset her in earlier
life. Perhaps one is not
previously aware that Dale
Evans had experienced two
unsuccessful marriages before
her happiness with Roy Rogers.
Also, one is perhaps not aware of
the ill health which has con-
stantly plaqued and haunted her.
Mrs. Rogers has had one chief
guiding and steadying factor in
her life—her great love for faith
in God and Christ. She attributes
all her happiness and success to
placing her life completely in
God’s care. She claims to have
gone ‘“‘overboard’’ and that such
is necessary to be successful in
one’s spiritual adventure.
Dale Evans Rogers writes, “‘I
have been the woman at the
well—and He has given me
Living Water that has made
fertile and meaningful the desert
spots of my life.”
