PRAYING BEFORE I go to sleep at night has been a habit sincechildhood. The night I thought of writing this book I prayed,God help me have good dreams and good thoughts as I sleep tonight. That isa prayer I have prayed ever since I was a child growing up. During the night I started thinking of ways we should raise ourchildren, and how they need to be prepared for life. I told myself, Ishould write a book about this: ways to raise a successful child. I was afraid Iwould forget this idea by morning, so I arose at 3:00 AM and went to thekitchen to start writing down my ideas. I began to consider just what would be my definition of a successfulchild or adult. I realized that it depends on whose point of view we arecoming from. The world defines success quite differently from God. Theworld would say it is to be rich and famous. However, since we are madein the image of God, it seems only logical that we should be a reflectionof Him in our daily lives.
