Grace Poured Out: A Lenten Reflection on Water, Wine, and Oil
Edited by Courtney Smith Westerlund and Alexandra Van Kuiken
Are you entering the Lenten season feeling tired, busy, and spiritually parched? The journey of recommitting to discipleship often feels arduous and taxing, leaving you feeling depleted instead of renewed.
If you long for a tangible way to remember that God’s grace is abundantly available in your everyday life, the devotional Grace Poured Out offers the renewal you need. Edited by Courtney Smith Westerlund and Alexandra Van Kuiken, this Lenten reflection centers on the abundant presence of water, wine, and oil in scripture, inviting you to connect your deep faith with these common elements.
This essential devotional provides a clear plan for spiritual transformation, guiding you from Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday. Each daily reflection, written by members of Young Clergy Women International (YCWI), draws on a story from scripture that uses water, wine, or oil, followed by a prayer or call to action to help deepen your understanding of the ways God is at work in your life.
Stop feeling bogged down by the heaviness in the world and instead, experience God’s outpouring of grace that cleanses, nourishes, and sustains. Order Grace Poured Out today so that every time you wash your hands, share a drink, or cook with oil, you will be reminded of God’s boundless love.
