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."
