2026 BIS Lent

Who Do You Say That I Am?

Join us this Lent as we ponder this question from our Lord Himself straight to our hearts.

In this year's lenten devotional,

Let's walk with Jesus.

There’s a question Jesus asked two thousand years ago that still moves hearts today:

“Who do you say that I am?”

This Lent, we invite you into a 40-day journey that goes beyond a spiritual checklist. This is a pilgrimage into the heart of Christ Himself.

In Who Do You Say That I Am?, Debra Herbeck leads us through the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus, each one revealing not only who Christ is, but who you are in Him.

This devotional isn’t another to-do.

It’s a conversation with the the God-Man, Jesus Christ.

WHAT READERS THINK OF BIS DEVOTIONALS
I have never seen another devotional use visio divina before, and I *love* it. Taking time with sacred art has taught me to pause and dig deeper. I also found myself making connections back to the image the whole week! It’s definitely something I look forward to, and I hope future Blessed is She devotionals continue to include this feature!
— Hope
Visio Divina opens a new way to experience the Lord! Thank you for all you do to bring so much blessings into our lives.
— Maria
Beautifully designed and written; I love it! I have been to a BIS Retreat but never done a study. I’m so glad I chose it. I think my favorite thing is that it lays flat for ease of writing the reflections. I will be a repeat customer. 😀✝️🙏🏼
