Completing a Work, Continuing a Legacy

Dr. Warren Wiersbe’s legacy continues to inspire, even five years after his passing, with the upcoming release of his latest work, Becoming New: A 100 Day Journey of Transformation through God’s Word, set to be published on November 5, 2024. This special project, completed by Dr. Wiersbe’s grandson, Dan Jacobsen, offers a chance for readers to embark on a meaningful journey of spiritual renewal.

In a recent episode of the Cedarville Stories Podcast, Dan shares not only the story behind this remarkable book but also intimate memories of his beloved grandfather. While Dr. Wiersbe is widely known for his influential ministry at Chicago’s Moody Church and his years with Back to the Bible, Dan also shares the warmth, humility, and humorous side of the man known as a “pastor’s pastor.”

As a young paster, Dan had long hoped to collaborate with his grandfather, but that opportunity never came — until the discovery of the nearly finished manuscript after Dr. Wiersbe’s passing. Entrusted with completing the project, Dan has fulfilled a long-held dream in a way that allows the readers to hear the heart and voice of his grandfather while continuing the legacy of faith and wisdom of Warren Wiersbe.

Dan offers a personal glimpse into Dr. Wiersbe’s life, portraying him as a man filled with warmth, humility, and humor, and one whose influence continues to resonate within Dan’s own pastoral ministry near Kansas City.

Tune in to the podcast to hear more about Dan’s journey and this touching tribute to Dr. Wiersbe’s lasting impact. It’s a story of faith, family, and the enduring power of God’s Word.
