Free-stuff Fridays (Truth78)

This weeks giveaway is sponsored by Truth78.

Are you wondering how you can help lead the children growing up in your church or home to a saving faith in Christ?

Zealous, written by Truth78 executive director David Michael, is for parents and ministry leaders, and anyone who wants to be inspired with biblical vision and practical guidance to disciple the next generation with purpose, confidence, and zeal.

David served for nearly 30 years as a pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church with John Piper, where the zeal and theological commitments for this book were formed. In Zealous, he describes a fervor and diligence for discipleship that is born out of a passion for God and His glory. He then presents seven commitments that provide a vision and framework for the discipleship of the next generation:

Embrace a biblical vision for the faith of the next generation
Foster a robust partnership between church and home
Teach the breadth and the depth of the whole counsel of God
Proclaim the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ
Disciple the mind, heart, and will
Pray with dependence on God’s sovereign grace
Inspire worship of God, for the glory of God

Truth78 is offering a free e-book or audiobook of Zealous to encourage you in your efforts for the faith of the next generation.

From the introduction:

Deep down, we wonder. We give them a Bible, teach them the truth, ask penetrating questions, lead them in prayer, affirm the good, confront the sin, provide a good example to follow, help them find good friends–but deep down we wonder if what we are doing is working. They read the Bible and even memorize parts of it. They claim to believe the truth, give good answers to our questions, pray the prayer, do good things, admit their sin, follow our example, have good friends—but deep down we wonder if the fruit we are seeing will last.

The seven commitments described in this book can provide a helpful framework for you as you raise up the next generation, in the hope that they would have steadfast confidence in God and belong wholly to Jesus Christ forever.

As parents, teachers, and ministry leaders, may we be passionate about faithfully teaching the next generation the glorious deeds of the Lord so that they will “set their hope in God” (Psalm 78:7).
