The daughter and granddaughter of Billy Graham share inspiring stories from their family life that offer compelling insights for leaving a legacy of faith. Passing on our faith does not happen passively--it's something we intentionally pursue with prayer and joy. Yet many of us struggle to know what it looks like to live out a contagious faith in today's world. We long for spiritual wisdom on how to ignite faith in our children, grandchildren, and others we encounter. Jesus Followers offers practical ideas, biblical teaching, and inspiring true stories from Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright for effectively running the race of faith and passing the Baton of Truth to the next generation. Drawing on the fascinating genealogy of Genesis 5, Anne explores the unique impact of our witness, worship, work, and walk. Rachel-Ruth illustrates each of these critical elements with stories from the Graham and Lotz families, offering vivid descriptions of how God's truth was passed on by word and example. Jesus Followers not only offers a glimpse into the living rooms and prayer closets of a faith-filled family, but it also equips you with the wisdom, motivation, and practical ideas for consistently and joyfully sharing your faith.
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.

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.
