Looking back to our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, we can often trace our physical features, strengths, and weaknesses through the family line. In the same way, we can observe character traits and spiritual influences that span the generations.

The author offers a sturdy foundation of virtue and faithfulness, but deeds such as anger, lust, hate and bitterness set destructive patterns that need to be recognized and overcome. When we understand how our lives are influenced by our forefathers, we can respond appropriately to that influence.

We should appreciate and celebrate the good that has been passed down through our families. Also, we should acknowledge the iniquities of our forefathers, repent of our own sins, and endeavor to overcome the tendencies toward specific sins that we have inherited.

While we are not held responsible for the sins of our ancestors, we are susceptible to their areas of weakness and should be alert to these inclinations. Broken Genealogy is a book that entails the good, bad, bitterness and anger, and in most cases, the destructive patterns that we must recognized and over in our own lifetime.
