A recent popular trend is ancestry kits. People want to know their heritage\u2014where they came from and who they are. Throughout the Bible we see the importance of lineage.

Each year he chooses a different family member and reads through a One Year Bible<\/em>, making specific notes and sharing personal insights that he felt God calling him to share with that loved one. Is there a more beautiful gift than a legacy of faith and love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
