In Great Lessons and Grand Blessings, Dr. Elmer and Ruth Towns will take you on a journey through the lives of both famous-and infamous-grandparents of the Bible. 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. Be bold with your new calling.
