Handoff

Handoff by Jeff Myers is about passing the baton to the next generation. He has a web-site http://www.passingthebaton.org/ This web-site has helps for schools, churches, and families. The web-site claims that only one out of twenty Church families have any spiritual connection with their children outside of church. As homeschool families I hope that we are the exceptions. As homeschool parents we are not intimidated by the thought of discipling our children. The book Handoff tells us that civilization is at stake. We must pass the baton of following Jesus to the next generation.

In 2004 Athens Olympics the world watched as the U.S. women's 4X 100 relay team failed to pass the baton properly. The transfer of the baton from Marion Jones to teammate Lauryn Williams failed to happen in the exchange zone. In the race of life there is usually only one chance to pass the baton, and the truth is that this generation of young people is in danger of missing the baton. What can we do as adults? I invite you to read this book Handoff or go to the web-site http://www.passingthebaton.org/
