Word for the Week

Heart of Stone

Week beginning: 30th May, 2021 | By Jeremy Cooke | London

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."
