Witness how Jacob gave his testimony to his grandsons; how Naomi faltered as a parent, but was given a second chance with her grandchild; how Noah’s sins affected his offspring’s children; and even how Paul became a spiritual teacher to Timothy. By studying the lives of biblical grandparents, you will learn some of God’s greatest lessons and grandest blessings—even if you believe you have failed in the past. Such as: • How to help your grandchildren claim their spiritual inheritance • How to rescue a grandchild from ungodly influence • How to help your grandchildren avoid becoming prodigals and . . . • How an unfailing devotion to teaching the Scriptures to a grandchild can influence the world Your greatest gift to your grandchildren isn’t material—but spiritual.
