“Proverbs prescribes the pattern of the kind of life that pleases God, showing what holiness looks like in the most mundane circumstances of life. It takes the religion of the sanctuary and applies it to life in the streets and in the home. So often this path from "church" to "life" is charted by the guidance of a father. This is what Thornton does in his journal Pass It On. His overview of the book's message and thought–provoking questions are designed to help parents guide their children in the way of holiness. It has been said that religion is no more real than it is in the home. Using Thornton's little book to work through Proverbs will help to foster real religion.”

Champ is a master teacher, and Pass It On is an incredible resource for dads and moms.”
