Let Scripture reform the next generation.
There are many different kinds of legacies we can leave, but sharing yourself and your faith with the next generation will always stand the test of time. Through showing himself and his wisdom in the book of Proverbs, God has also left his legacy with us and relies on us to share it with our children and grandchildren. But before we can share that wisdom, first we must grow in our own understanding and knowledge and record, reflect, and consider what we have learned.
Pass it On provides readers with an opportunity to create a legacy of wisdom and faith and to share it with their children and grandchildren. As readers are guided through the book of Proverbs, they are asked to create their own personalized, wisdom journal with the aim of giving it to someone they love. Through careful study, answering questions, writing out prayers, and sharing personal stories, readers can create a lasting keepsake for themselves and for their families and friends.
Created by Champ Thornton, best-selling author ofThe Radical Book for Kids, PassIt On is an innovative resource to strengthen families and help them grow in their love for God and each other. This is a perfect gift for an older and wiser friend or relative, so they can share themselves and what they have learned about God with the next generation.
The fresh and careful translation provided comes from Dr. Bruce Waltke, who, now in his eighties, has devoted his life to a humble and Christ-focused study of God s Word, and especially the book of Proverbs. His two-volume work onProverbs is considered by many as the premier commentary in the English language. As you study the translation of individual chapters, add your own comments in the margins. And feel free to circle, underline, and connect key words or phrases as you see them in the chapter for the day.
Review:
This is a lovely book, perfect for keeping, or giving during the holiday season! I don;t know about you, but our family bible has numerous notations in it, as different generations wrote key thoughts down next to passages. But as the borders are small, not much is written. This book allows you, and your family, to take that idea and add your thoughts on different bible passages and prayers into one book, that can be handed down, AND added to! WHAT an unique gift to give this holiday season!
As you can see, there are areas for your thoughts on the gospel verse shared, adding how it helps/patterns your life, and your thoughts/prayers for how it can help your family/future generations. It truly allows you to share a 'spiritual diary; with not only your children, but their descendants! We pass on our DNA and our characteristics, so why not our spiritual thoughts? This lovely book allows you to do just that! For those who seek the Word of God as instruction, this book will really ring true, as a wonderful way to share lessons with their children and grandchildren. We can't recommend it enough this holiday season.
