Our Story

Keep the Heart is a teaching ministry and small press publisher with a big-hearted founder. Norman Henderson Taylor listened carefully as his wife told him, “At just about every conference, women ask me if I’ll ever have a website.” One day, as he was sitting in the home office paging through his Bible he landed on this verse:

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)

The website for Keep the Heart was born that day.

Founded in February 2012 and headquartered in Pensacola, Keep the Heart LLC is 100% founder-owned. Norman passed away on September 15, 2017. During his final year, he knowingly instructed Francie how to continue the ministry-business of Keep the Heart. “Close the eMagazine. It’s too much for you to handle without me, but keep teaching and keep writing.”

Originally, the website was just a landing spot for Francie’s conference calendar and blog. Now the website has an online shop, the conference event list, a blog, and more to come. Keep the Heart has a team of extremely talented people working behind the scenes, helping Francie to do more with their gifted assistance than she could ever do alone.

We are committed to producing biblically sound study materials, making Bible study meaningful. Your purchase contributes to a ministry company run by a widow who loves the Lord, her family, and lives to serve others. Keep the Heart encourages women to develop a closer walk with God while facing the issues of life from a biblical perspective.

Testimonials

I had a hard time putting Francie Taylor’s book, “Apply” down. Francie shares Gods Word with us in a very practical way that we may apply our hearts to instruction and our ears to to the words of knowledge. I enjoyed the Journal prompts each day, as well as the encouragement to read a Proverb a day. I will share this book with others and plan to use it in my Ladies Sunday School Class.
