What the Bible Says about Child Training: Parenting with Confidence Paperback - 1996

Mr. Fugate personally accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and was baptized into the Body of Christ at Reinhardt Bible Church, Garland, TX in 1968. He and his wife, Virginia, have attended independent Bible-teaching churches in each city where God has sent them to minister over the past 40+ years (Dallas, Austin, Tempe, Sacramento, and now finally Apache Junction, AZ). After committing himself in 1971 to serve God anywhere, or in any manner he might be called, Mr. Fugate learned Greek and studied many thousands of hours in the original languages of the Old and New Testament texts. He did not rely on existing systematic Theologies or Bible commentaries; convinced that he needed to perform his own exegesis and word studies to verify or develop doctrines that are substantiated by Scripture alone. He founded the Foundation for Biblical Research (FBR) in 1979 "to determine the one true meaning of Scripture based on honest research and a scientifically sound system of hermeneutics." All of Mr. and Mrs. Fugate's books are written based on that research. Soon after his commitment to serve God, Mr. Fugate was called as Business Manager and later became Vice President of Finance for Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.). While there, Mr. and Mrs. Fugate were led to start a pilot Christian school in Garland, TX, based on their experience of having home schooled their own three children for two previous years. During the 70's, Mr. Fugate wrote What the Bible Says About Child Training, presented parenting seminars in hundreds of churches, and directed the work of FBR. In March of 1982 he was hired as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of A.O.P. in Tempe, AZ where he served for the next 12 years. After A.O.P. was bought out in 1995, the Fugate's traveled around the country giving seminars on Biblical parenting and writing 2nd editions of their most popular books. Mr. Fugate then served as Business Manager of Family Ministries in Sacramento, CA from 2000 through 2004 until his "retirement" to be full-time Director of The Foundation for Biblical Research in Apache Junction, AZ. Here he continues to conduct Bible research, teach, and write on Bible-Based Theology. Throughout the past 30 years he taught in each of the five churches where he ministered.
