Editorial Reviews

"So many young people grow up feeling no one showed them the rule book to succeed in finding purpose and a fulfilling life. They feel they have to win the lottery to succeed. Jeff has provided all of us adults with great content written in a powerful way to impact the next generation, creating leaders who can succeed, no matter the challenges ahead."

- Steve Arterburn, Founder, New Life Ministries

"My passion of serving Christ for a lifetime is the legacy I want to leave to future generations, and I'm sure you do too. This book will make the 'how's' easy to understand and give you a plan on how to do it. Handoff is well written and very helpful--you need to read it!"

 -Dr. Tim LaHaye, Author, Minister, Educator and Co-author of the Left Behind series

"There's no greater challenge in contemporary society than to pass on to the next generation the mission and vision of following Jesus Christ. It does not happen by accident, but it must be intentional and consistent. Dr. Jeff Myers does it again in telling us both why and how to carry out this crucial task. Read this book! You won't be able to look at your life and ministry the same again."

- Dr. Bill Brown, President, Cedarville University

  1. Passing the Baton

    Posted by John D. Grossmann on 5th Aug 2011

    In simple, straightforward terms Jeff Myers guides us to being able to effectively reach the next generation. It's not complicated. It doesn't take years of study. The personal sharing of life experiences, both good and bad, to give young people the reins of real leadership is crucial. Myers has been doing it for years. Pay attention to his advice.

  2. Mentoring the next generation

    Posted by Janet Madera on 5th Aug 2011

    Handoff is an excellent resource for parents, teachers, mentors and those in a leadership position. This book should be read and re-read as we internalize the concepts that we need in order to pass the baton to the next generation.

  3. True Gem - a Must-Read for Older Leaders

    Posted by Laurence T. Baxter on 5th Aug 2011

    Jeff Myers does a fantastic job in "Handoff" in describing the need, the challenges, and effective methods for investing in the lives of others and for passing the baton to the next generation. What's great about this book is that it shows tremendous heart and understanding of the challenges faced in mentoring or coaching today's younger generations. What they need and what they are looking for in relationships is really quite different from the way us older folks viewed those who went before. Myers writing style is very conversational, clear, encouraging, and practical. Instead of speaking down to the reader or to those we seek to invest in, he shows great humility and respect for all involved. The book is written from a Christian perspective, and does draw some examples from the life of Christ, but the principles and practices described in this book are of broad applicability in education, parenting, the workplace, as well as in a ministry or discipling environment.

    Each chapter is short, six to eight pages, and each naturally flows into the next. As a young boomer (oxymoron?) I really needed to hear the hard words of learning to shut my mouth and not try to fix their problems, of the importance of building relationships and trust, and how to ask FAR more questions and really help others to think about and solve their own problems. The goal in mentoring or being a leader is not to reproduce ourselves in others, but to bring out the very best in who they already are. He gives some extremely useful and practical tips - for example not just telling us to encourage others, but that when we encourage them we should strive to be as specific as possible in pointing out the good we see - this helps others see and develop their gifts.
