Scriptures Introduction : 

Scriptures Introduction One could include the entire Bible in this document for us to learn how to get our hearts right with God to live the life He intended for us! This document is to help those wanting to, from Scripture, learn more about the HeartStyles and for those who want to teach. We have chosen short references. There are many great stories and examples in Scripture that would take too long to explain in this format. This is a work in progress, so if you have any short references to add, please email us (stephenk@heartstyles.com.au) and we will develop this document for the benefit of everyone.
