Frank Allnutt launched this web site in the early 1990s as an online seller of his books, among them the bestsellers The Force of Star Wars, After The Omen, and The Peacemaker. At that time, Frank was on the staff of a Christian counselor and counselor-training organization, where he wore several hats—director of publishing, video and web sites, and director of public relations and marketing. It was then that he began researching and writing about The Christian's New Heart.

Over time, the nature and focus of Frank's web site transitioned from that of an online bookseller to that of New Heart Ministries.

After retiring in 2003, Frank and his brother Dan moved to the small town of Salida, nestled in the Arkansas Valley in the heart of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. The move brought the brothers closer to the family of Frank's daughter who are cattle ranchers.

Prior to that relocation, Frank and Dan had pursued their interest in art, mostly as a hobby. But they soon discovered Salida was an art colony and that its historic downtown sported numerous art galleries. Their art caught the eye of one of Salida's leading galleries, who to this day features their art—Dan's rustic Western Woodburnings on beetle-killed pine, and Frank's original paintings, giclees on artist's canvas, both framed with native woods and mounted on native sandstone.

New Heart Ministries continues to be the brothers' main focus and they see art sales as being much like the Apostle Paul's tent-making. Though today's current economic downturn has seen a significant drop in art sales nation-wide, the brother's art sales continue to help meet expenses.
