Rev. Doris Loida Espinoza has released 'Pass It On: Cultivating Future Generations,' a Christian book that addresses the critical need for intentional spiritual mentorship in contemporary society. Drawing from more than five decades in ministry, the publication serves as both devotional and leadership guide, focusing on the sacred responsibility of transferring faith, wisdom, and love between generations.
The book illuminates the concept of passing on what Rev. Espinoza describes as the 'baton of service,' the 'mantle of anointing,' the 'shield of faith,' and the 'torch of Pentecost.' Through biblical examples including the mentorship relationship between Paul and Timothy, combined with personal stories from her extensive ministry career, the author demonstrates practical methods for ensuring spiritual inheritance endures beyond individual lifetimes.
Rev. Espinoza's ministry legacy spans over fifty years across multiple continents including the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. This global perspective informs the book's approach to cultivating faith in diverse contexts and communities. Each chapter includes questions for personal reflection and group discussion, making the book suitable for churches, ministry teams, and families seeking to strengthen intergenerational faith transmission.
The publication is available through multiple channels, including Amazon for the English version and Amazon for the Spanish edition titled 'Pásalo: Cultivando las Futuras Generaciones.' Additional information about the author's work can be found at Espinoza Ministries.
This release comes at a time when many religious communities express concern about declining engagement among younger generations. The book's emphasis on intentional mentorship addresses this challenge directly by providing concrete strategies for faith preservation and transmission. The inclusion of discussion questions makes it particularly valuable for small groups and church programs focused on discipleship and leadership development.
Beyond its immediate application in Christian communities, the book's principles of intentional legacy building have broader implications for how societies approach cultural and value transmission. The work represents what the author describes as 'more than a book' but rather 'a movement to preserve the flame of faith' for future generations. This approach to spiritual inheritance as an active, intentional process rather than passive tradition marks a significant contribution to contemporary Christian literature and practice.
