Spend 100 Days With Warren Wiersbe, One of America’s Most Trusted Expositors

by Rich Stratton, Assistant Director of Public Relations – November 1, 2024

Dan Jacobsen was moved to hear his grandfather Warren Wiersbe's voice resonate on each page of the new devotional book, imparting lessons on spiritual maturity, duty, and dependence on God — insights that became particularly relevant when a family crisis emerged at the conclusion of the project.

Dan Jacobsen, the grandson of Dr. Wiersbe, has devoted the past two years to completing "Becoming New: A 100 Day Journey of Transformation through God’s Word," a devotional book that includes the heart of his grandfather’s work.

In this week’s episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast, Dan shares his personal experience of exploring Scripture while editing the final work of this devoted man of faith. Both new believers and seasoned Christians alike will find themselves challenged by Dr. Wiersbe’s profound yet accessible engagement with the Bible.

Dan was especially moved to hear his grandfather’s voice resonate on each page, imparting lessons on spiritual maturity, duty, and dependence on God — insights that became particularly relevant when a family crisis emerged at the conclusion of the project.

In March, Dan’s nine-year-old son Miles was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. This devastating news prompted Dan and his family to lean deeply on God during a time when human solutions felt hopeless.

Despite the challenges, Miles has shown remarkable strength and has been enriched by unforgettable experiences shared through their church and the Kansas City community. Meanwhile, Dan has discovered unexpected opportunities to connect with the philanthropic community, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Through their trials, Dan and his family continue to serve God, embodying a daily transformation through His Word. For further information about Miles and the Jacobsen family, please visit milesformiles.org.
