In Written on the Heart, Stephen Steele shows how the law of God is still relevant and needs to be remembered today. In a world that increasingly disregards any fixed standard of law or morality, this book is a timely reminder that God’s commands are good, wise, and enduring.

The ESV Large Print Compact Red Letter Bible has quickly become my favorite small Bible. It is both portable and practical—ideal for travel, daily use, or keeping with me in my shoulder bag on the go.

Enter to win!
