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

Bestseller Lotz (The Light of His Presence), the daughter of Billy Graham, and her own daughter, Wright, share a heartwarming collection of stories about the legacy of family and faith. Comparing the faith journey to a relay race, the authors illustrate how the “Baton of Truth” is passed from one generation to another. Lotz draws from biblical examples in Genesis 5, while Wright offers warm family recollections. The mother and daughter exemplify the authentic pursuit of Christ through practical lessons about creating legacies of witness, worship, and work. For instance, Lotz explores how worship was passed from Abel to Seth to Enosh—and then relates it to the community of worship within her own family. Wright describes the comfort she found in her mother’s presence and willingness to listen during her lonely high school years. She recounts many fond memories of her grandparents and how they instilled in her a “deep love and respectful awe for the Bible.” She also acknowledges the challenges of seeking God while balancing parenting, extracurricular sports, and church activities. This soothing mother-daughter collection will appeal to Christians desiring to impart a legacy of purpose to their families and future generations. (Oct.)
