Description Book Introduction This book explains how, just as God embraces and refines His people, parents can train their children to grow into wholehearted Christians. It will open up a new perspective for parents on raising children — offering fresh insight into who our children truly are and what kind of beings they are. The book also helps parents recognize the intentions of the little "psychologists" who try to manipulate their parents' thoughts and hearts, guiding children to become fully disciplined by God and their parents. Furthermore, readers will see how children can be transformed from little tyrants into obedient children, depending on how parents treat and handle them. Table of Contents 01.

When You Set Your Family Free, You Free Yourself from Bondage Collapse About the Author Author: Michael & Debi Pearl Born into families in Memphis and Tennessee, they were raised by God-centered, spiritually grounded parents. Pastor Michael Pearl graduated from a Bible college in the Mid-South and served in evangelical churches, including youth ministry. At the age of 25, while serving at the Union Mission in Memphis, he ministered to many military families. He later moved to rural Tennessee, where he led home Bible studies and regularly led gatherings for local believers' communities. It was also around this time that he began prison ministry. God led them into a ministry focused on parenting and family relationships, which they now believe to be their life's purpose and calling. In addition to child-rearing instruction and pastoral ministry, they have organically woven together prison ministry, missions, Bible study, and family life into a unified calling. The Pearls have been married for 32 years and have 5 children and 2 great-grandchildren. Their children have been closely involved in their ministry from the very beginning, and it can truly be said that they grew up through that ministry.
