Michael Pearl was raised in Memphis, Tennessee, in a good home, by parents who were faithful to point him to God. Mike, a graduate of Mid-South Bible College in Memphis, has been active in evangelism and the work of the ministry since he was a teenager, studying and teaching the Bible for over 60 years now. He worked with Union Mission in Memphis for 25 years, while he and his wife Debi also ministered to the many military families in Memphis and pastored churches. Later they moved to rural Tennessee where they continued in the work by holding Bible studies in local homes, which eventually led to regular meetings of the local body of believers, and to starting a prison ministry where Mike preached every week at his local prison for nearly 20 years. God eventually led them into the ministry of writing on child training and family relationships, which they now feel is their life's work and calling. In addition to the child training ministry, the work of weekly online Bible teaching, the prison ministry, missions, and family life is still ongoing. The Pearls have been married since 1971, and have 5 children and 27 grandchildren (and counting!). See less
