Praise for
40 Things to Teach Your Children Before You Die
Obedience is simple, rationalization complicated. Gregg Jackson takes us back to the simple things, calling us to submit to the wisdom of the God who made us. Read the book; take it to heart; teach it to your children. They will thank you, as will your grandchildren.
Dr. R.C. Sproul, Jr., professor, Reformation Bible College, pastor, Ascension Presbyterian Church
The 40 lessons that Gregg Jackson wants to teach his children (that the secular world wont) are not only undeniably biblical, but they are unapologetically orthodox; they are not only filled with a realistic worldview of Creation-Fall, but also a glorious hope of Christ-centered Redemption; and, most importantly, not just for children, but for all of us. We need this today because, increasingly, tragically, many in the evangelical world (and other conservative Christian communities) will not teach these truths. Our twenty-year-old baby is studying history at university in Britain. I guarantee you: I will be posting this across the pond to him as soon as I can! So, I commend it to the Church without reservation. The author and publisher deserve our gratitude.

Your children are a sacred trust from God to you. You have a divine responsibility to impart in them truths that society, media, and the educational system will not teach them. Gregg Jackson has identified forty key truths that parents need to teach their children. Tragically, nine out of ten children from evangelical homes walk away from their faith by the time they enter college. One of the biggest reasons for that is that their parents did not impart in their children a truly biblical worldview. Gregg has simplified the process and has prioritized key areas that can transform your childrens view of themselves and the world. This book is a very powerful tool for parents to use! I encourage you to get Greggs book and use those tools and watch your childs life become something beautiful and powerful for God!
Paul McGuire, bestselling author and speaker
This book has great potential for the discipleship of our youth and school-age children. As a short Q-and-A book, it deals with many of the important worldview issues in which our children need to be equipped, such as creation versus evolution. Easy to read, and with good concise arguments and scriptural support, this book is needed in the family and Christian schools. It is useful for children in public school as well, to offset the negative indoctrination. Good for family worship and bedtime instruction for children as well. I heartily recommend this outstanding book!
E. Ray Moore, Chaplain, (Lt. Col.) USAR (Ret.); President, Frontline Ministries, Inc. and Exodus Mandate
Gregg Jackson nails it again! Gregg is a skilled communicator, and in 40 Things to Teach Your Children Before You Die, he once again demonstrates his ability to cut to the chase in dealing with the stuff of life and faith that truly matters. What a beautifully powerful presentation of these eternal biblical truths. Make certain you get several copies; this is a book you will want to share with others!
Carl Gallups, bestselling author, radio and TV host, and Senior Pastor, Hickory Hammock Baptist Church (Milton, Florida)
I think Greggs book 40 Things to Teach Your Children Before You Die will enable Christian parents to help inoculate their kids from the lies and propaganda of the godless educational system and culture at large and help them to think and act biblically.
J.C. Watts, former U.S. Congressman (Oklahoma)
Gregg Jackson has done it again. From the Conservative-Book-of-the-Month selection, and then to the Book-of-the-Year selection, Gregg has now written a book that every parent and grandparent should read! And those of us with younger kids should read 40 Things to Teach Your Children Before You Die to them out loud!
Bob Enyart, Senior Pastor, Denver Bible Church; radio host of Bob Enyart Live and Real Science Friday
Gregg Jackson has done something King David demonstrated as true wisdom long ago. I call it generational thinking. This Hebrew King, who achieved a heart just like his God, wrote, So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalm 90:1). Gregg has embraced his mortality and responded by passing along immortal truths to his children and yours. May we all be as wise. I commend this to your reading.
Cary K. Gordon, Executive Pastor, Cornerstone World Outreach
I absolutely love this book! Its great for kids, but is also wonderful for grown-ups. The information in this book reminded me of the basics of salvation and clarified the truth of the Gospel in terms that both children and adults can simply and factually understand. When it is published, I will buy several to give to my grandchildren and my adult children, plus friends. In our everyday lives, we forget the basics of the truths you have in the book, and it brings us right back to the simple realities of salvation; plus it gently clarifies the facts regarding the misinformation that is taught in our schools, and in all stages of our lives.
Tricia Erickson, author; President of Angel Pictures and Publicity
40 Things to Teach Your Children Before You Die is a comprehensive yet easy read, presenting the key points of a biblical Christian worldview for parents to train up their children in the way they should go. Greggs book is recommended reading for caring Christian parents. Gregg Jackson is on a mission from God to redeem the culture. His words and works have Grace and Providential Power. I am honored to call him a friend.
Dr. Ted Baehr, President, Movieguide
In our day and age, when life is a status update on Facebook or a tweet in 140 characters or less, its tough to be both purposeful and pithy, but Gregg Jackson has found that necessary niche with this worthwhile read. The points addressed in this book ought to be standard discussion topics in every Christian home in America.
Steve Deace, author and nationally syndicated radio host
Gregg Jackson has used his pen to pierce the veil of Satans most powerful plan to destroy humanity. That plan is to remove the truth of God and His Word from our youth. This book is a last will and testament to save humanity.
Pastor James David Manning, Atlah World Ministries
In a time when lies seem to rule the day, Gregg Jackson cuts through the fog and crystallizes for us the truths that were once known as common sense. Sadly, today in America, sense is no longer common, but is an opinion. The issues that Gregg deals with in his book are essential building blocks upon which we can stand in our efforts to restore sanity to a morally confused nation.
Coach Dave Daubenmire, radio host and speaker, Pass The Salt Ministries
Have you ever wondered the type of lessons you should be passing along to your kids? Sure you have. We all have. My friend Gregg Jackson has given us all a plan in 40 Things to Teach Your Kids Before You Die. After more than two decades of working with kids and parents, I can confidently say that this is the most simple, truthful, systematic resource I have seen for parents wanting to disciple their own sons and daughters.
