Jesus Followers: Real-Life Lessons for Igniting Faith in the Next Generation

Jesus Followers is an excellent book encouraging people who follow Jesus Christ to pass their faith on to the next generation. Using real-life examples of how this 'passing of the Baton' was done in their family, mother/daughter author team, Anne Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright share their heartfelt message of leaving a legacy of faith. The premise is that sharing the truth about faith in Christ is not just what one says but it is "who we are that catches the attention of those around us." The book is divided into four parts that deal with Our Witness, Our Worship, Our Walk, and Our Work and the authors go back and forth in each chapter to share examples related to those headings. Subjects are numerous and the lessons run the gamut of humorous to heart-breaking as the women share with their readers as if they were just visiting over coffee. Each chapter ends with a picture from the Graham family photo albums, a Bible verse, and a snippet on how to be a Jesus follower (e.g. Be a good listener, or Extend grace, or Don't hold back, give God everything). Jesus Followers is a book that people who want to be intentional about and successful in passing the Baton of faith to the next generation will not want to miss. I was given a complimentary copy of the ebook through Waterbrook MultnomahPublishing and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.

5 stars, Everyday teachings JESUS FOLLOWERS by Ann Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright The author and her daughter are the daughter and granddaughter of the famous Reverend Billy Graham. They give practical tips for how to reach out to your friends, family, and even complete strangers to share God's message that will save their lives. One chapter is called CHOCOLATE MILK and POPCORN, which sounds kind of cute and a little funny, but the lesson these two women are teaching is that there doesn't have to be a special time to talk about important, spiritual things, it can be anytime, anywhere. Highly recommend. This book will give you guidance in your personal walk with the Lord and helpful tools that can enable you to engage in an easygoing, honest way with everyone around you.
