The future of our nation is not somewhere out there. It is sitting in today's classrooms. It is sleeping under your roof. It is fidgeting in the pew beside you on Sunday morning. It is watching, absorbing, and becoming — right now.
Every child is a future leader, a future parent, a future worker, a future citizen, a future disciple. What they receive in these early years — the values instilled, the identity anchored, the faith planted — will shape not only who they become, but what kind of world they help build.
We are not simply raising children. We are shaping a generation.
When we invest in children, we invest in the future. When we equip parents, we strengthen families. When we strengthen families, we strengthen communities. When we strengthen communities, we participate in the transformation of a nation. This is not idealism. This is assignment. And it begins in the home, the church, the classroom — one child, one family, one intentional investment at a time.
The question is not whether children need what only intentional, godly investment can give them. The question is whether we will rise to the moment while we still can.

THE BOOK
Great Gifts to Give Your Children
Legacy is Not What You Leave Behind: But Who You Leave Behind, is more than a parenting book. It is a blueprint for raising children who know who they are, what they value, and whose they are.
In a culture that is aggressively competing for the hearts and minds of the next generation, parents and caregivers need more than good intentions. They need practical tools, biblical wisdom, and a clear sense of what truly matters. This book delivers all three.
Drawing on Scripture and exploring over fifty life-shaping gifts — gifts of identity, character, faith, resilience, wisdom, purpose, and more — Great Gifts to Give Your Children equips the adults in a child's life to build foundations that outlast every storm, every cultural shift, and every challenge the years will bring.
Whether you are a parent in the trenches of daily life, a grandparent pouring into the next generation, a pastor equipping the families in your congregation, a teacher shaping young minds, or a mentor walking alongside a child who needs a steady presence — this resource was written for you.
What Others Are Saying...
Great Gifts is a powerful and inspirational gift to pass on to your children as they navigate training up the future generation in the way they should go… I highly recommend this book---it is an arsenal of insightful weaponry.
As a parent, and also educator working with students for two decades, the most striking takeaway for me was the author's intentionality in defining 'parenting.' This isn't just a book for moms and dads; it is a manual for mentors, teachers, and community builders. Dr. Jones challenges us to rethink the concept of legacy, moving it away from material wealth and toward the lives we are shaping. The 'gifts' she outlines are eye-opening, provide a clear, faith-informed path for anyone who wants to leave a lasting, positive impact on a child's life.
