Review:

Christian financial adviser Larry Burkett and co-author Rick Osborne have teamed up to write this book to parents on helping their children discover who God designed them to be and how to make the most of who they are.

Burkett and Osborne discuss different financial personalities and included surveys to determine children's personality types. The authors trace seven career motivations including making money, doing what you're good at and following in parents' footsteps then explore the role of desires, talent and spiritual gifts in a child's life. They conclude with a practical six-step guide that parents can teach their children to use to plan for their future.

The first step involves simple questions about the child's gifts and goals, investigating them in several stages and planning for them.

Each chapter is followed by insightful questions. Parents who use this book as a guide are more likely to raise prepared and fulfilled children. -- Christian Parenting, October 1998
