Select Condition 
Book Overview
During the Lenten season, we have the opportunity to stop and reflect on what Christ did for us thousands of years ago and also what He has done for us over the past year. During a season of extreme sickness with Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and food allergies, C.J. Vegter wrote down inspirational quotes as she spent time with God asking for healing. Now healed from many of her illnesses, C.J. wants to give others the same hope she received during some of the darkest days of her life-and what better way than to help with meditations during the Lenten season. These forty-seven days of devotions will help you to navigate the Lenten season and reflect on the goodness of God in your own life.
