This website introduces a planned digital devotional service. The reader is a private preview. There is no public paid checkout or purchase contract available here today.
Who is behind One Small Step?
One Small Step is written and operated by John D. Hardwick. Customer contact: ossdevotional159@gmail.com. A business correspondence address will be published before paid subscriptions are offered.
The devotional service
The prepared collection contains six books of 28 undated readings each, covering John 1–21 and Acts 1–4. The English-language web app includes weekly overviews, devotional insights, reflection questions, prayers, practical steps, reading preferences, bookmarks and browser-local notes.
A modern browser and an internet connection are required. Bible passages are linked to the NKJV on Bible Gateway or can be read in your own Bible. NKJV verse text is not reproduced inside the app. Bible Gateway is a separate service with its own availability, terms and privacy practices.
Planned membership
At launch, the planned prices are £2.99 billed monthly or £29.99 billed yearly, in GBP. Membership renews at the chosen interval until cancelled. The first seven readings of Book 1 are a free content introduction, with no card required and no automatic conversion into a paid subscription. They are not a timed billing trial.
Paid access is intended to become available after a successful payment and confirmation by the service. No physical book, parcel or shipping is included. The total price and current terms will be displayed before any purchase. Payment setup, the correspondence address and final launch checks must be completed before memberships open.
Cancellation and refunds
Future renewals can be cancelled, with access normally continuing to the end of the paid period. A full first-purchase refund is planned for cancellation within 14 days, including after reading has begun. See the cancellation and refunds policy for the process and treatment of later requests. Statutory rights remain unaffected.
Scripture comes first
The aim is to help readers grow in relationship with the Father, through Jesus Christ, with the help of the Holy Spirit. Insights, suggested prayers and practical responses are human reflections, distinct from Scripture. They are not new revelation or a claim that every interpretation is beyond question.
Read each biblical passage in context and compare the commentary with the wider teaching of the Bible. Christians understand some passages differently. Honest questions and corrections are welcome, and content may be revised or clarified. The seven weekly themes organise the response; they do not determine the meaning of the passage.
Completing devotional readings, prayers or actions does not earn salvation or God’s acceptance. Salvation is God’s gift received through faith in Christ. The app does not replace a church community, wise pastoral relationships, appropriate professional care or urgent help. A biblical healing or answered prayer is not a guarantee of the same outcome today.
Your notes and responsible use
Notes, bookmarks and progress currently stay in the browser you use. They do not automatically sync to another device. You can export individual reflections; clearing local browser storage can remove the data. Please keep your own copies of anything important.
Use the service respectfully and do not misuse the feedback form, attempt unauthorised access or reproduce the devotional collection for commercial redistribution without permission. Personal reflection notes remain your own. External Bible text remains subject to its publisher’s rights.
Questions and changes
Contact John about a problem, concern or correction. Material changes to the service or purchase terms will be made clear before a new purchase or renewal takes effect. Nothing here removes applicable consumer rights.
