    Hetkinen – is a Bible Guide for adults and is SU Finland’s main product. It has been published for more than 50 years and has almost 6000 readers. Since 2019, subscribers can also read Hetkinen’s daily Bible passages and devotions on mobile devices. Since 2022 Hetkinen can also be listened as audio version.

    Liftari – sanasta laiffii is a separate issue for young people around 15 years old and also for those who don’t yet know much about the Bible. The magazine gives a living image of Jesus that is strongly connected to young people’s own questions and lives. The magazine can be used as for teaching materials e.g. in confirmation schools, but can also be given as a gift.
