Identity and Destiny for Amazing Kids

God created us for a purpose-filled life. How old must a child be before he/she can begin to understand his/her God-given purpose? Most of us can remember playing games as children about being, teachers, doctors, preachers, parents, actors, athletes and so on. Children are imaginative, adventurous, often fearless, and bold about discovering, “What I want to be when I grow up.” So often, when children get older, they lose their focus and childlike zeal as the events of life take over the outcomes of life. This book is so important, because it takes the concepts of Identity and Destiny, 7 Steps to a Purpose-Filled Life, and transforms it into an adventure story, complete with all of the assessments and exercises and it becomes a work that is understood by children. It is written to help children identify the skills and gifts that God has placed within them so that they might learn at a young age, and begin to direct their education, hobbies, and relationships in the direction that is most pleasing to God, and most fulfilling to them. Proverb 22:6 says that we are to train a child in the way he/she should go, and when they are older, they will not turn away from it. (paraphrase.) In the original language, it is emphasized that we are to train our children according to their individual inclination, or God-given bent. Parents are uniquely equipped to understand their children’s passions, strengths and talents. As children grow, their personalities begin to shine. This book is written to equip parents and children’s minister, coaches, and children’s counselors; to discover the deep desires and strengths of children. It is best suited to 4th and 5th grade students, but 2nd and 3rd grade students are able to understand and gain insights from it as well.
