 God
captured Beth Moore's heart at a very young age. Her first love was a
man with long dark hair, tan and weathered skin, and loving eyes. When
she saw a picture of His face tacked onto the wall in Sunday school, she knew
Jesus would be the love of her life. Like many children brought up in
church, she learned about the Bible, His love letter to her, and sang the
familiar children's song, "The B-i-b-l-e, yes that's the book for me!
I stand upon the Word of God, the B-i-b-l-e." Beth's love for Jesus
Christ grew over the years and at the age of 18 she committed her entire life
to be about the things of God.
The Lord is now using Beth Moore to
encourage women through her Bible studies and conferences to not only stand on
the Word of God, but to know what it says. Beth began speaking at local
women's luncheons and retreats over twenty years ago. God was faithful
to allow her ministry to grow up at the same pace as her family. By the
time her two daughters were in middle school, Beth was writing full time and
speaking all over the United States. In 1995 the Lord led her to
establish Living Proof Ministries to guide women to love and live on God's
Word.
This wife, mother and Sunday school
teacher has experienced the truth of Hebrews 4:12 in her own life and desires
for other women to be changed and set free by the living and active Word of
God. Beth considers her Bible study, Breaking Free: Making
Freedom in Christ a Reality in Life, to be the plunder taken from a hard
fought battle with her own strongholds of sin. To the glory of God, this
life message of Christ bringing freedom to the captives has affected lives in
ways she could never have conceived.
For this season the Lord has placed in
Beth's heart what she feels will become the second dimension of her life
message - Believing God. This online Bible study is a call to a
revival of faith in the Church. Beth feels God is summoning His people
to believe Him more as He prepares them for the latter days. Beth
affectionately calls the new study "Breaking Free, Part Two,"
since the Lord gave her the original concepts while she was writing Breaking
Free. In the fall of 2002, Beth taught Believing God to an
Internet audience of approximately 27,000 people worldwide. This
exciting time challenged Beth and her co-workers in Christ at Living Proof and
LifeWay to believe God like never before.
Beth and her husband, Keith, will soon
celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Last summer the
couple traveled to Africa together to minister to missionaries and fulfill
Keith's lifelong dream of hunting on a safari. They have two daughters
and a new son-in-law who are all involved in ministry. Amanda is
currently working at Living Proof and Melissa is earning a Biblical studies
degree at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
