No Greater Joy
Erika, Michael Pearl, Chad
Chad, Erika, Debbie PearlSo a couple of months ago we went to hear Michael and Debbie Pearl speak at a church near us.
It was great! The books they have written have been very helpful to us. (although we don't agree with everything they teach) They were so gracious really emphasizing love for the Lord, love for your spouse and fun with your children, being able to cover over a whole lot of mistakes in parenting. After hearing them speak and re-reading some of their material we could really see those points where as before I think we focused to much on the disciplining they mention (which isn't even a main point). Michael pearl was really funny and he is a giant. (easily a ft. taller than me) Here you can purchases the videos of the conference, I recommend it! (look for us in the audience)

yeah, we aren't so fond of some of their disciplining stuff, however we LOVE the emphasis on relationships. Esp the part about 'tying strings' i think is what they call it. You take the good and leave the rest... good balanced way to view this stuff!
I love the pictures! How fun to have met them. You do have to take the Pearls with a grain of salt, but they do have good things to say.
I loved Debi's book "Designed to Be to His Helpmeet" (I believe that is what it's called). After I read that I did some research on them and realized some people have really opposing view points on their stuff. I wondered how they would come across in person and I am happy to hear it was such a positive experience.
