The World Born in You
What does it mean to be a Christian in America today? Skye Jethani’s latest book is for a spiritually searching generation that feels adrift between a soulless secular culture and a Christian subculture that has lost its way.
Written as a series of seven letters to his young adult children, Skye shares what it means to follow Jesus in today’s divided, post-Christian America. Along the way, he opens up about the events and epiphanies that shaped his faith and vision of Christ. It’s the most personal book he has ever written, and perhaps the most relevant.
The World Born in You will be released initially as a serial—one chapter per month beginning in June, exclusively for Holy Post Plus subscribers at the $10/month level and above.

I’ve never been the FIRST person to rate and write a review before!! This book is coming out chapter by chapter, with digital access only. So while the book is not technically done, I have read what has been written so far and think it is really well put together. So you’re welcome, Skye, you currently have a perfect 5.0⭐️ average on Goodreads.
I recently read “Me, Myself, and Bob” by Phil Vischer, written in 2007, which lead me to Phil Vischer’s website and podcast, which lead me to Skye which lead me to paying $10/month to be a subscriber to Holy Post Podcast, which gave me this book!
This book is written in 1st person from Skye to his 3 adult daughters, which for the most part reads really fluidly and intimately, and is only mildly startling when he says “you grew up this way” and I need to realize it’s not me, but his daughters he’s addressing.
Intro
P7 “Since your birth, my prayer for each of you has been the same: wisdom…In the letters that follow, I share how God‘s voice has shaped my interior world and, in turn, has guided my journey through the outer world.”
P8 “I have two goals for these letters. I want you to know the true blessings of faith, but I also want to see the world blessed through you”
Letter One: Empathy
* The story of Skye’s name
P14 A football fan study of expanding “us vs them” to include more people
* Naaman’s Israeli slave girl shows empathy by informing him of a prophet in Israel who could cure him
P27 To his daughters “You are here to be the expression of another’s love”
