Grandparents in the Bible
About this ebook
Being a grandparent is one of the most fulfilling experiences in life—fulfilling God's cycle of life placed within every person. when godly grandparents pass along their Christian heritage to another generation, those grandchildren can carry on that legacy, and on and on it goes, each family perpetuating God's plan to grow His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.
In this book you will learn how:
- Jacob was confronted by God; and at the end his life, he passed on a holy heritage to his grandchildren.
- Naomi and her husband turned their backs on God. But she returned to her godly roots and raised her grandson for God—who became the grandfather of King David.
- Asa’s father, grandfather, and grandmother were evil influences. Yet in spite of an ungodly heritage, Asa led the people back to God.
- Noah was a man of faith who built a boat and saved the world. Both the positive and negative impacts of Grandfather Noah are seen in this chapter.
- Lois raised her daughter Eunice to live for God. With very little support, the grandmother and mother trained Timothy to became a godly leader in the early church.
- Paul produced Timothy who produced a third generation who produced a fourth generation of Christians (2 Timothy 2:2).
