Michael Pearl was raised in Memphis, Tennessee by parents who were faithful to point him to God. Mike is a graduate of Crighton College in Memphis TN. He worked with Memphis Union Mission for 25 years, while he ministered in hospitals and churches to the many military families. God eventually led him into the ministry of writing on child training and family relationships, which he now feel is his life s work and calling. The result of this work led to the formation of No Greater Joy Ministries (NGJ), a 501(c)(3). Mike s first book To Train Up a Child has sold over 670,000 copies and is available in over ten languages. Mike along with his wife Debi has sold over 2 million books. NGJ also offers CDs, DVDs and MP3s. The largest project that NGJ has ever been involved in is the Good and Evil Project, a work to translate the award winning Illustrated Bible Storybook Good and Evil into 100 languages. G & E has over 40 languages in print, and another 50 languages in the process of being translated or edited. The seven hour Good and Evil Animation DVD released last year and will be made into over 150 languages by the end of 2015.
