BOOK SYNOPSIS

Guiding parents to raise children with character, resilience, and wholeness

In our society today, we are facing rapid change and uncertainty. One thing remains constant: our children need to grow up anchored in strong character, resilient in mind and body, and guided by the wisdom to navigate life with clarity and purpose.

Planted with Purpose shares approaches that uplifts parenting and education with timeless values, future-ready competencies, and whole-child development.

Planted With Purpose succeeds as a cohesive, high-impact anthology that showcases the strength of multi-voice storytelling. Each contributor adds meaningful texture to the collection, offering authentic insights into resilience, identity formation, and faith-driven transformation. The editorial structure is strong – well-paced, thematically unified, and accessible to a broad audience. The personal narratives avoid sentimentality while still delivering emotional resonance. As a complete work, the book demonstrates impressive clarity of vision and strong market appeal within the inspirational and personal-growth genres. It is positioned well for readers seeking reflective, hopeful narratives grounded in real-life experience.”

“I am bowled over how the book’s messaging in Appropriate Discipline – Love in Action. This particular Chapter stands out in a distinctive style in Part I, given its cohesive integration of personal testimonies with broader parenting insight. The chapter succeeds in guiding readers to rethink discipline as an act that shapes character, nurtures emotional safety, and fosters long-term resilience.

This chapter is a powerful and emotionally rich exploration of what “discipline” truly means. Rather than focusing on punishment or control, it reframes discipline as love expressed through guidance, boundaries, humility, and perseverance. The four personal stories by Ho Wei Siong, Dorothy Yeo, Richard Giam, and Anand Mark bring depth and authenticity to this theme. Each narrative offers a different lens. Together, these stories create a cohesive message: Appropriate discipline is indeed not a technique. It is a way of seeing a child’s potential and shaping an environment where that potential can grow.”

Planted With Purpose is a powerful guide for anyone raising, teaching, or supporting today’s children and youths. What makes this book exceptional is how it brings together the wisdom of diverse experts to address the whole child – their emotions, identity, health, learning, posture, nutrition, language development, and future readiness. Each chapter offers practical, compassionate insights that help parents and educators nurture confident, resilient, and ethical young people in a fast-changing world. The authors honour the challenges families face while empowering them with hopeful, actionable strategies rooted in science, empathy, and real lived experience.

This is more than a parenting book; it is a blueprint for raising a generation with strong values, healthy minds and bodies, and the skills to thrive with purpose. Planted With Purpose is timely, thoughtful, and deeply needed.”
