Stephanie has grown in wisdom at her feet, and is delighted--utterly--to share her words of beauty and wisdom with you this Easter. Liz beckons you into an Easter experience like no other. Oh, beloved, come and enter into the beauty of Easter today.
\nLiz weaves the story\xa0of Mary of Bethany in\xa0that timeless moment when she worshipped Christ, on the Saturday just before Easter.
