Rev. Doris Loida Espinoza has released 'Pass It On: Cultivating Future Generations,' a book that addresses the pressing need for intentional spiritual mentorship in contemporary society. Drawing from more than five decades of ministry experience across six continents, Rev. Espinoza presents a framework for transferring faith, wisdom, and love between generations with purpose and grace.
The book combines biblical insights with personal stories from Rev. Espinoza's journey as a pastor, educator, and District Girls Ministries Director. It examines mentorship relationships like that of Paul and Timothy while providing practical guidance for modern spiritual leaders. Each chapter includes questions for personal reflection and group discussion, making the book suitable for churches, ministry teams, and families committed to faith development.
'Pass It On' emphasizes what Rev. Espinoza calls the sacred responsibility of passing on spiritual inheritance through what she terms the 'baton of service,' 'mantle of anointing,' 'shield of faith,' and 'torch of Pentecost.' The book positions itself as both a devotional and leadership guide that encourages readers to take active roles as mentors and spiritual guides.
This publication arrives at a time when many religious communities express concern about maintaining spiritual traditions amid cultural shifts toward immediacy and individualism. Rev. Espinoza's work offers a structured approach to what she describes as 'cultivating faith in the next generation' through intentional relationship building and knowledge transfer.
The book is available in both English and Spanish editions, with the Spanish version titled 'Pásalo: Cultivando las Futuras Generaciones.' Both versions are accessible through major retailers including Amazon for the English edition and Amazon for the Spanish edition. Additional information about the author's ministry work can be found at her official website.
For religious publishing, 'Pass It On' represents a significant contribution to practical theology and intergenerational ministry literature. The book's release coincides with growing interest in mentorship models within faith communities seeking to address generational gaps in spiritual formation. Rev. Espinoza's extensive international ministry background spanning the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa informs the book's cross-cultural applicability to diverse religious contexts.
