Your story matters. It could change a life. It might change the world.
An Inheritance
It’s taken me almost a lifetime to realize that I have inherited a spiritual fortune, stretching far beyond a trust fund or antique furniture. I am the great-great granddaughter of J. Wilbur Chapman, author of the famous hymns One Day, Glorious Day ("living he loved me…") and Our Great Savior. He ministered with Dwight L. Moody, Billy Sunday, and hundreds of other world changers to bring the gospel to many cities and countries around the globe. To uncover his story has been a great privilege and blessing in my life. The Inheritance is the story of his life and mine and how legacies are passed down from one generation to another.
Pain and loss have lengthy chapters in the stories of our lives. How we reconcile with our past often determines our future. Will we bury our stories in barren ground or resurrect them for the world to read? It will take courage and strength. There's a treasure waiting for you. What are you waiting for? Read The Inheritance. It will inspire you to open the pages of your own life!
Praise for
The Inheritance
“Johannah Mackin has presented a life in mid-journey, full of hope, prayer, pain, and perseverance. Any parent, any person will benefit from her admissions, honesty, and her surrender to the God who desires our good. She uses her own story to reveal the human story of the courageous struggle we must all go through to add more to life than we take from it. We need more of such encouragement in a world where the light of life can be dimmed by how we run from our neediness..”
Chip Dodd, author of Voice of the Heart, Needs of the Heart, and the Perfect Loss
“I probably should be studying for finals but instead I can’t stop reading.” Grace M

What is your inheritance?
What are you leaving behind?
Get yourself a copy of this
marvelous masterpiece!" Geyzel G
“Johannah’s book, The Inheritance, stopped me in my tracks! It is a beautiful love story...trickling down from the Father... to her grandfather...to her...to my children and to me. We each are called to share our “inheritance.” Johannah was our son’s teacher when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. God steps into each of our lives in different ways and she tells her story so beautifully! So beautifully, that it will inspire you to tell yours! It certainly has made me more willing to share mine. “ Jean Alyne D
