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, Pass It 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 on Proverbs 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.
My Thoughts......
I have enjoyed going through this journal. I was however somewhat taken aback by the style of this journal. I'm not really sure what I was expecting but this wasn't it. I think for some reason I was expecting more of a devotional type deal and this is more of a journal. This is also meant to be used as a gift for someone else. You go through and read the key scriptures on each day and record your thoughts for those passages. When you are finished going through it the idea is to give it to someone from a younger generation. I really did like this concept. I think this is a great idea for parents to give to their children or grandparents to give to their grandchildren. This is a great way to share in your spiritual journey. I received this book from LitFuse publicity for free. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
