Pastor Moore, of Living Proof Ministries, at the age of 18, sensed God calling her to work for Him. Although she couldn’t imagine what that would mean, she made it her goal to say yes to whatever He asked. Pastor Moore who was born in 1957 founded the Ministry, an evangelical organization for women, based on biblical principles. She was born on an army base in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. There her father owned a cinema house. Beth was the fourth of five children, all of whom worked at the cinema from a young age.
Pastor Moore holds a degree in political science from Southwest Texas State University and an honorary doctorate in humanities from Howard Payne University.
She married Keith Moore in 1978 and has two daughters, Amanda (born 1979) and Melissa (born 1982) . Amanda is married to Curtis Jones and they have a son named Jackson (born 2005).
Melissa earned her Master's Degree in Biblical exegesis in May 2007 and currently works with her mother at Living Proof Ministries as a Research Assistant.
Pastor Moore founded Beth Moore Ministries in 1994
with the purpose of teaching women how to love and live by God’s Word. The Ministry is based in Houston, Texas, and it focuses on aiding women to model their lives on evangelical Christian principles.
The topics range from self-identity issues, drug addiction, abuse and a Christian perspective on family life, marriage, homosexuality, and pre-marital sex.
Pastor Moore started off by speaking at luncheons and retreats, working at Mother’s Day Out and also teaching Christian aerobics.
She has written numerous books and Bible studies, including Breaking Free, Believing God, and When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, that have been read by women of all ages, races, and denominations.
Through the years, American missionaries and expatriates have taken Beth Moore studies overseas, resulting in Bible study groups springing up all over the world.
Pastor Moore's Living Proof Live conferences have taken her to thirty-nine states since 1994 and have been attended by more than 421,000 women.
She has also taught conferences for women in numerous countries,
including Ireland, England, Singapore, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and India. She began a radio ministry in 2004 called Living Proof with Beth Moore. She is an inspiration to many Christian women.
Currently, Moore conducts her "Living Proof Live" conferences and speaks on her radio show. She appears as a regular on Life Today television, hosting Wednesdays with Beth.
Pastor Moore still writes books based on the Bible studies that she conducts at her local church, Houston's First Baptist Church, and at "Living Proof Live Conferences," seminars that she holds internationally.
Beth and her husband Keith praise God for nearly 30 years of marriage. They enjoy traveling, hiking, drinking coffee on the back porch, eating Mexican food, making each other laugh, walking their dogs, and being grandparents. Both of their daughters, Amanda and Melissa, serve on staff at Living Proof.

Believing God
“Is it working? Your belief system, that is. Is it really working? God’s intention all along has been for the believer’s life to work. From divine perspective toward terrestrial turf, God meant for his children to succeed. . .
Are our Christian lives successful? Are they achieving and experiencing what Scripture said they would? In a recent sermon my son-in-law preached, Curt told us the only way we were going to impact the world and the next generation is to prove that our faith in Christ is real and that it works. For countless Christians I’m convinced it’s real. My concern is whether or not we have the fruit to suggest it works.”—Beth Moore; Believing God

Get Out of That Pit: Straight Talk about God's Deliverance from a Former Pit-Dweller
Beth Moore wants readers to know if God could lift her out of the pit, He can get ANYONE out! She admits she wasn’t just a visitor; this former pit-dweller had to be delivered from acres of life-accumulated dirt, bone-chilling darkness, spirit-deadening anger, heart-breaking desperation and mind-numbing confusion. The permanent lessons she learned in her desperation-shared in this very personal book-are lessons of hope for all of us. While she deeply empathizes with the hows and whys of life in the "pit," she continually points readers to the deliverance that awaits. Deliverance is for everyone, she proclaims-no matter how you got stuck, no matter how long you’ve been down, whether you think you deserve it or not. And in her straight-talking but loving style, she reminds readers that deliverance can begin for them this very day.

In To Live Is Christ, best-selling author Beth Moore travels on a spiritual odyssey through the life of one of Christianity’s most fervent journeymen, the apostle Paul, tracing his story from childhood to martyrdom.
Proclaiming his faith as a benchmark in New Testament Scripture, Beth writes, "I have accepted many of Paul’s words as a personal challenge. ‘I want to know Christ’ has become my plea. ‘To live is Christ and to die is gain’ has become my hope. And to borrow his words once more, ‘Not that I have already obtained all this . . . but I press on.’"
Paul’s undying passion for Christ continues to inspire and challenge those with a deep spiritual hunger for the things of God. Readers will be greatly refreshed by the obvious mercy of God that causes those who have failed him to repent and serve him wholeheartedly and effectively.

When Godly People Do Ungodly Things: Arming Yourself in the Age of Seduction
It is reported in the headlines, confessed in the pulpits, and hidden in the pews in churches around the world. The seduction of God’s people by the deceiver is a tale as old as the garden, but we are always surprised when it happens. We must realize that Satan is a lion on the prowl and we are his prey.
Beth writes with a passion fueled by the Biblical warnings of the schemes of Satan’s seductive activity and the broken-hearted concern of a teacher who receives countless letters from repentant Christians limping on the road to finding restoration. Delivering dire warnings to Christians to safeguard themselves against Satan’s attacks, Beth also reveals how you can know if someone is vulnerable. Beth writes, “We, Christ’s church, are in desperate need of developing His heart and mind in issues like these.” She fears that often God is far more merciful than the Body of Christ is with the deeply repentant and those desperate to find their way home. When Godly People Do Ungodly Things will be a guide to authentic repentance and restoration.
