We have studied one virtue per month that when taken together form Love, i.e., The Greatest Thing in the World.But as we read about these virtues, we

Dear faithful supporters of DHT,As DHT celebrates its 17th year, we praise God for His faithfulness, even as we marvel at how fast 2016 has flown by.

Last week (November 7-11, 2016) 5,000 copies of the UK Edition of our prison devotional were being distributed into every one of the 126 prisons in England and Wales!
