Come and See

This book is like having a trusted friend tell me something I needed to hear at the exact moment that I didn't even know I needed it, and quite frankly felt kind of surprised she was speaking to me so openly about my personal journey. [...]

Come and See

[...] The stories are written in a way you can relate. I usually just digest one of them in the morning and think about how God can use it in my life to encourage my faith and help me to live more fully for Him. I even sent a copy of a few pages to a friend - just to encourage her while she is going through a hard time with her daughter. [...]
Johanna I was surprised how much this book spoke to me!

    "My experience reading Come and See is different from any other reading experience I’ve had.
    It causes me to weep.
    I’m forgiven. I can forgive.
    The words in this book caused me to spend time alone and think about what I truly want in my life.
    Peace be still!
    I’m encouraged. My prayer is that you will feel encouraged too."

    Wynonna | MUSICIAN, SINGER-SONGWRITER

    "California author James C. Vogelzang is the founder and president of Doing HIS Time, a nonprofit organization that offers hands-on grace to men and women in prison and upon their release, and offers acceptance and hope to ex-offenders and their families. Colorado co-author Elisa Fryling Stanford owns Edit Resource, an editing and writing company. Both James and Elisa have written spiritually supportive books and now join in writing COME AND SEE.

    "The authors’ approach to introducing the concepts of reclaiming balance in life works well. Without commentary, the book opens with notes from several who had faced crises or turning points and lacked the balance to restore their perspective. Following these examples, the following is shared: 'This book is for women who have lost their balance – or wonder if they ever had it in the first place. Women who have a sense of loss but no time to process it in the rush of life. Women who struggle with doubt, addiction, regret, guilt, or fear. Women who possess the indomitable will to find wholeness, contentment, and peace in life. This book is an invitation for you to begin to discover the source of the peace you seek in your mind and spirit. It’s an invitation to consider what might be the solution to living balanced in every way.'

    "In a supportive manner, the book presents aspects of this statement: 'The surprising solution to regaining your balance is the love of Jesus.' The book is Christian-oriented and presented in a convincing and caring way. Men with the problems described here will equally benefit."

    Doing HIS Time

    Another person was moved with only momentary knowledge, to another facility & he was worried that he had accidently taken his friend's book. So I ordered a new one to be sent as a replacement. Those inmates who have read the book speak highly of it.

    I bought this for my grandson that is incarcerated. I was hoping he would like it and when he started reading it he told me that he did like the book. This was a good purchase and I think all inmates would benefit from reading it. [...]

      "I received my books today. As I opened and began reading the first few pages of Doing HIS Time, I am crying. I am overwhelmed with the feeling that this is EXACTLY what my husband and I need to bring us closer together in Christ. I can't wait for my husband to receive his books so we can discuss, learn, and love the Lord together. I just want to thank you for sending me a copy of these books so we can learn and grow together in Faith. Thank you so much. I feel blessed."

      "The inmate devotional books have prompted several Bible studies and are loved by all. Last Wednesday, six individuals came forward (to give their life to Christ) as a result of the lesson. We feel the text is the best we have seen to date."
