Leaving a Legacy: Sustaining Family Unity, Faith, and Wealth

by Dan T. Garrett and Tim Woodroof

Many families are looking for ways to plan for a future that puts family and faith before fortune. But most family wealth disappears within two or three generations. This failure has little to do with taxes or the economy.

Instead, Garrett and Woodroof explain, families lose their wealth because their members didn’t pass down leadership and values. A real inheritance of this type is lived out long before any will is read.

• Why 70-90% of family wealth disappears within a few generations
• Communicating honestly about money, work, and shared goals
• Building family unity around faith and values first
• Treating wealth as a tool for kingdom impact, not just comfort

Leaving a Legacy offers a practical process for families to work through together to achieve a better understanding of their relationship with one another, their community, and money. They’ll learn to communicate more clearly and honestly about the joys of hard work, shared goals, philanthropy, and finances.
