Book synopsis

In his new book, Terence Crosby takes a close look at what the phrase "your example" truly means, and he explores how examples, both good and bad, shape lives and legacies.

Your Example examines the role of examples in Roman and biblical history, particularly as teaching tools. Examples from the Old and New Testaments both inspire and warn readers. Examples of faith, godliness, and Christ's own life offer guidance for living out Christian beliefs and highlight Christ's roles as a Servant, Sufferer, and Savior, each offering a unique model to follow.

Your Example also explores the impact of personal example, especially for leaders in faith communities. It encourages readers to treat their own lives as "epistles" to others, a message that speaks even after they are gone. Reflecting on figures like Jehoram, who serves as a warning, Terence challenges readers to consider what legacy they are creating-"the gospel according to you."

"'Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ' (1 Cor. 11:1). Your Example is a worthwhile read for all who are trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, seeking to make progress in their walk with the Lord, and living out a godly life. Well-researched and written, each page is filled with Scripture, which makes for an edifying and challenging read as you seek to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called."

"Are you an exemplary Christian? Have you stopped to consider what an influence you can have over other people? What are the values that you most cherish that cause you to be an example? Have you thought about how much the Bible calls Christians to be exemplary? People in Rome may do as the Romans do, but people in Christ should do as Christ would do. The apostle John addresses his readers with these all-important words: 'Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good' (3 John 11). The Bible calls us to heed its good examples and shun the bad ones. Join Terence Crosby as he traces such themes and examples through the Old and New Testaments, illustrating and applying them to modern readers."

"This edifying little book reminds us of the power of personal example, a theme which is too often neglected today. Both positive and negative role models are highlighted from Scripture, and we see that this was a key element of apostolic exhortation. We are encouraged to take heed ourselves and to follow this pattern as we seek to teach and preach the Scriptures. More than that, we are reminded that we are to be a good example to others. Warmly commended!"
