How much do your children know? We teach our children academics. We give them instruction in the arts and physical fitness. We show them how to swim, skate, and ride a bike. But have we forgotten the most basic and necessary skill of all? Have we taught them to pray? Prayer is the foundation for communicating with God, growing as a person, and receiving help and wisdom for every other part of life. Teaching children to pray is one of the most important tasks parents have.

Trouble can find you when you are not looking for it-even when your marriage is arranged and your life plans seem certain-placing your family's honor, your cultural heritage, and your personal identity at risk.

This book should be quite helpful in pointing out problems faced by non-English- speaking students when they enter the American education system. According to many articles comparing education in the U.S. with other countries, unfortunately, the U.S. education system is mediocre compared to the rest of the world. Because of the problems in U.S. schools, coupled with students who speak other languages in their homes by family members not proficient in English, those students are at a definite disadvantage. I think this book will be quite important in moving the education in schools in the right direction to help these students better fit into American society by learning better communication skills, and thus, having better opportunities to succeed in their endeavors.
