Rev. Doris Loida Espinoza's new publication, Pass It On: Cultivating Future Generations, presents a compelling case for intentional spiritual mentoring across generations. Drawing from more than five decades in ministry, the book addresses what the author identifies as a critical need in contemporary society: the deliberate transfer of faith, wisdom, and spiritual leadership to younger generations. The work combines biblical insights with personal stories from Rev. Espinoza's extensive ministry experience to illustrate effective methods for passing on spiritual inheritance.
The book explores various aspects of spiritual transmission, including what the author terms the 'baton of service,' the 'mantle of anointing,' the 'shield of faith,' and the 'torch of Pentecost.' Through examination of biblical relationships such as Paul and Timothy, alongside examples from her own work as a pastor, educator, and District Girls Ministries Director, Rev. Espinoza demonstrates practical approaches to generational faith transfer. The publication serves both as a devotional resource and leadership guide, with each chapter including questions for personal reflection and group discussion designed to facilitate practical application.
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. The work positions itself as more than just a book, describing its mission as a movement to preserve spiritual traditions and ensure their continuation. The Spanish edition, titled Pásalo: Cultivando las Futuras Generaciones, extends this message to Spanish-speaking communities worldwide.
Available through major booksellers, the publication targets churches, ministry teams, and families seeking to strengthen intergenerational spiritual connections. The book's practical framework for mentorship addresses what many religious communities identify as a growing challenge: maintaining spiritual continuity in an increasingly secular and fast-paced world. By providing structured guidance for intentional faith transmission, the work aims to equip current generations with tools to effectively mentor those who follow, ensuring that spiritual traditions and values continue to influence future society.
