Heart of Flesh Literary Journal (HeartFleshLit)

Heart of Flesh is a biannual, online and print literary journal that seeks quality writing and art with a Christian element. We are not a typical “Christian fiction” journal. We believe God’s truth as written in the Bible can be found in both the sacred and the secular, in nearly every work of literature and every part of the human condition. We accept work from both Christians and non-Christians from all over the world.

The name Heart of Flesh comes from the book of Ezekiel, 36:26: ” And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” In the Old Testament, this is a promise to the Israelites. It also reflects the aim of Heart of Flesh: to allow the Holy Spirit to soften hearts. Though we do not usually publish typical “Christian Fiction,” our goal is to permeate the secular with the profound need for Jesus Christ.

Heart of Flesh will always be free online and in digital format. Print versions are sold to help cover hosting costs. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the charity The WellHouse (), a 24-hour shelter that offers immediate assistance to victims of sex trafficking.
