We really don't know a Christian until we understand how they came to Christ. We might think most Christians have had an amazing life, but instead, many tell a remarkable story derived from spiritualism, drug or alcohol abuse, or harrowing near-death experiences.

These dark places, however uncomfortable to read or hear, were crucial to their journeys. In an inspiring guide to knowing and understanding how ordinary people came to Christ, Rowan Winter chronicles seven very different stories, six of which are told by the person who lived it.

She begins by telling the story of Paul the apostle, from historical and biblical accounts, and then follows with her own story. The remaining stories come from individuals and couples whose paths to Christ culminated in love and healing, and ultimately changed how they viewed the world.

Included are introspective questions that encourage reflection and a writing exercise to compose letters to the reader from Christ. Written on Human Hearts is a collection of seven true stories that tell how regular people came to Christ while sharing powerful lessons of hope, faith, and love.
