Description This book explains how, just as God embraces and refines His people, parents can train their children to grow into mature Christians. It offers parents a fresh perspective on child-rearing, presenting a new way of understanding who their children truly are. It also helps parents recognize the subtle ways young children—like little psychologists—try to manipulate their parents' thoughts and feelings, guiding them instead toward being shaped fully by God and their parents. Furthermore, readers will see how, depending on how parents treat and handle their children, those children can be transformed from little tyrants into obedient, loving sons and daughters.

Pastor Michael Pearl graduated from a Bible college in the Mid-South and served in evangelical churches, including youth ministry. At age 25, he ministered at the Union Mission in Memphis, working extensively with military families. He later moved to rural Tennessee, where he led home Bible studies and regular gatherings for local believers, and around this time also began prison ministry. God led the Pearls into a ministry focused on parenting and family relationships, which they now believe is their life's calling and purpose. They have skillfully woven together child-rearing, pastoral ministry, prison ministry, missions, Bible study, and family life into one harmonious calling. Married for 32 years, the Pearls have five children and two great-grandchildren. Their children have been closely involved in their ministry from the beginning, having essentially grown up within it.
