About the ministry

A faithful work, carried forward.

From the Throne offers Scripture-centered reflection and encouragement while preserving the distinct writings of Betty Jo Hardy and Anne Barkley.

Scripture · Reflection · Encouragement

A devotional ministry made to be revisited

Each devotional invites readers to pause with Scripture, reflect on God’s truth, and carry that encouragement into daily life. Email brings new messages to readers; this website keeps the complete public archive available for the years ahead.

The founding work

Betty Jo Hardy

Betty Jo Hardy was the founding devotional writer of From the Throne. Her preserved writings retain her original voice, attribution, dates, and Scripture-centered purpose.

The continuing ministry

Anne Barkley

Anne Barkley continues From the Throne through new devotionals. Her messages are clearly attributed to her and added to the same public archive without altering or blending Betty Jo’s work.

Why preserve an archive

Enduring words, kept with care

The archive keeps readable devotional text, publication details, author attribution, and—when available—a preserved view of the original email design together in one place.

Historical records remain distinct from new work. Dates, titles, punctuation, capitalization, Scripture quotations, and author attribution are preserved rather than silently rewritten.
