Sometimes greatness is measured by possessions or power and parents become preoccupied with raising "resume" and "pedigree" children. Yet true greatness is an internal evidence of attitudes and a heart known for humility, compassion, graciousness, and enthusiasm. Author and speaker Dr. Tim Kimmel identifies the three most critical and life-changing decisions that will make the difference. According to Kimmel, preparing your children to determine what they will do (their mission), who they will do it with (their mate), and who they will do it for (their master) is the greatest gift you could give them. Raising Kids for True Greatness will expose the shallow wisdom of the world, giving parents a road map to guide their children toward rich lives of eternal value and significance.

Raising Kids for True Greatness
Chapter One
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD TO GREATNESS
Many parents are so busy preparing their children for success that they miss the chance to equip them to do something truly extraordinary. Somewhere along the way, they've taken a wrong turn in their thinking and are pointing their children toward misdirected goals.
According to most parents, a child's success starts with a good education. So they become preoccupied with their child's grades, class placement, cumulative GPA, and SAT scores. They make this a high priority-for many, the highest-because they think that a good education is the best way for their children to obtain a prestigious career-another way of saying, a job that pays well.
Why do parents want their children to make a lot of money? So they can live in attractive homes in a safe part of town and have an enviable lifestyle. And while they're at it, maybe their respectable jobs will help them find spouses who look good in the Christmas pictures, and then they can bring home lots of cute grandchildren for Grandma and Grandpa to enjoy.
If all goes according to plan, these parents reason, their children will achieve the kind of success that enables them to enjoy an adult life of comfort and endless personal opportunities.
Well paid, well supplied, well known, and well received-these are the standard characteristics of a successful life. Parents whose children achieve these goals often experience an overwhelming sense of relief: "I did it. I handed my kids a powerful gift. I helped them achieve success."
