Dear Saints,
I am happy to announce that Joseph’s Heart4God website is now up and running again, where the entirety of his works are freely available for download.
Newer readers may not be aware, but the Heart4God website is an archive site containing all of Joseph Herrin’s works from over a period of some 25 years. It is the heart of his ministry. So it is a real relief to have it available once more for those interested in Joseph’s many teachings.
H4G / Parables
A few months ago the original H4G website had to be moved, and due to this it went down, and was in need of being rebuilt so that it would work on its new hosting provider. The idea at the time was to use this opportunity in order to merge H4G with the Parables blog. However due to the time this has been taking, plus some other important issues, I decided to forego that initial idea, and instead to rebuild H4G myself from scratch and host it in its original location at https://heart4god.ws/. Essentially, restore what had already been there.
New Website / Old Style
Despite rebuilding from the ground up again, I have endeavoured to make the new H4G website look as identical to the old version as possible. Hopefully you should not notice much of a difference at all. Some text has been enlarged to make it more readable. The site has also been optimised so it should work correctly on all devices – laptops, tablets, mobiles.
The site is not entirely finished yet. Some details still need to be added, along with the Newsletters and Photos pages, but it is 90% complete.
Photos Page
I am currently trying to retrieve copies of the image files previously used in the Photos Page, so I can rebuild the photo galleries on H4G. The old version of the Photos page can be found here:

If you have any photos that relate to any of these galleries, please do send them through at thiswisefool@protonmail.com. Also, if you have any other photos in relation to yourself and Joseph, please feel free to send these through as well and I may include them on the site.
Bughunting
No doubt with such a big rebuild there will be some errors still to be sorted on the website, such as missing or broken links and formatting issues on untested devices. Please do let me know if you encounter any errors on the new site.
Nehemiah
In truth, and of much surprise to me, the process of rebuilding has been something of a battle to get this far. Much of the issues have been technical in nature – including hacking attacks against the Parables blog site, which are still ongoing. Other matters have been more fleshy, drawing limited time and attention away from working on the website. Recently, when I described some of the more interesting details to a brother, he remarked how he was reminded of Nehemiah in Scripture, and how his efforts to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem had been met with much resistance too. Yes, I know – there is not much comparison between that great task of Nehemiah and these small works on the internet now, but it was still heartwarming to hear.
Please Share!
With a freshly built Heart4God website, it is as good a time as any to share Joseph’s works with other saints who may not yet know of them. Please do share the new Heart4God website in any way that you can.
Thank you for your patience so far. If you have been waiting to hear back from me, I am afraid I have neglected emails for a few weeks now while I focused on Heart4God.
Next week I will publish a proper post, as this one is more a matter of news than the usual teachings or reasonings. Hope to see you then.
May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these last days.
Colin Buchanan
