The subtitle explains the purpose of this book: helping your child shape a winning destiny. Rather than being a “feel good book” that follows the world's way of describing everyone as a winner, this book offers practical, real-world knowledge that gives parents simple steps to follow to encourage and empower you to raise godly families.

Much of this book will seem like common sense, but unfortunately must of this wisdom in not being passed along from generation to generation. As such, it is more of a reference book that you can consult as your children go through different stages of development.

The premise is that each of our children is a gift from God with a unique design that needs to be cultivated and nurtured. The first section lays a spiritual foundation of understanding the context in which we must raise our children in today's world. The second section gives tips on cultivating universal gifts and personal gifts in our children. The third section covers principles of development, such as training the whole heart, spiritual depth, intelligent faith, and being strong in the Lord. The final section deals with specific issues for girls, boys, different ages, and the challenging child.
