In 1994, Michael and Debi Pearl published To Train up a Child. The book has sold over 660,000 copies, becoming a "handbook on child trainig" for many families. The Pearls received so many child training questions that they started a free magazine to answer them-No Greater Joy. Demand for the back issues became so great that they decided to make the answers available in a book. This book represents about two years of articles.

About the author

Michael and Debi Pearl were both raised in Memphis, Tennessee, in good homes, by parents who were faithful to point them to God. Mike, a graduate of Mid-South Bible College in Memphis (now Victory University), has been active in evangelism and the work of the ministry since he was a teenager. He worked with Union Mission in Memphis for 25 years, while he and Debi also ministered to the many military families in Memphis and pastored churches. 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 by starting the prison ministry. 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 the prison ministry, missions, Bible studies, and family life is still ongoing. The Pearls have been married since 1971, and have 5 children and 18 grandchildren. The Pearl children have always been involved in their parents’ ministry, and in their adulthood continue to be involved in some way in ministering where they are.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one as well. Some of the stories in here had my husband and I laughing uncontrollably. The parenting advice was also super helpful (lots of great articles about raising boys and training your children to obey/do right). I probably enjoyed this one more than the first. Again, I didn't agree with 100% everything but would definitely read it again.

I really enjoy Michael and Pearl. They are funny. I'm so glad they have written these books! I want... more stories from their lives though. More examples. What a fascinating world to visit!

I enjoy reading all of the books by the Pearls. I find their wisdom to be biblical and helpful in my own marriage and parenting roles.

MUCH better than volume one! I still don't really like how they don't do things in order or even by age group it's a lot of skipping just to find something that's applicable to me.
