Purchase a new Bible that is intended to be passed to your heirs. Personalize it with special markings, baptism dates, your inspirational thoughts and make it a gift to your son/daughter or grandchild. This great heritage will be made much more personal to your loved ones as they read your notes and visualize your favorite scriptures. This passing of the legacy of your spiritual faith may be the beginning of your loved ones’ salvation.
Begin each new year with a different Bible, so that all of your family members will have a priceless treasure in their possession. Any Bible may be used; however, Zondervan provides one especially for this purpose. It can be purchased from the following web site.

What a marvelous gift to bequeath to those who are important in your life. Be sure to include the plan of salvation right in the very front and list the scriptures for them to easily find. You may also want to list special scriptures for healing, faith, encouragement or any other subject. Use different colored highlighters to make finding the passages much easier. (i.e. blue for baptism, red for the Holy Ghost, purple for the Godhead, etc.)
This will be a cherished gift for a lifetime and will continue to be a precious heritage.
