About the Author
Mickey Moore’s story is rooted in faith, family, and a lifelong invitation to “come home.”
His family’s roots trace back to Logan, West Virginia, where generations were shaped by the rhythms of mountain life and deep spiritual devotion. Before Mickey was born, his parents left Logan in search of greater opportunity, settling briefly in Baltimore, Maryland, where Mickey was born. A few years later, his father accepted employment with Philip Morris, and the family relocated to Richmond, Virginia — the place Mickey still calls home today.
Mickey’s spiritual heritage runs deep. His grandfather was a Pentecostal Holiness preacher raising seven children without a car, faithfully walking them to church each Sunday. Locals affectionately called him “Pastor Bare,” with his “seven cubs” following close behind — one of whom was Mickey’s mother. She carried her father’s love for God into her own parenting, raising Mickey with a simple but powerful foundation: love God and love your neighbor. Mickey was baptized at the age of twelve and began a lifelong journey shaped by that same calling.
For many years, Mickey has served as a lay pastor and entrepreneur, with a particular passion for ministry to children and families. His pastoral focus has always centered on one enduring truth: God has been building a family from the beginning of time. Every child born is part of that family, already known, already wanted, and already loved. Mickey teaches that God eagerly waits to show each of His children the place prepared for them — not only in Heaven someday, but in a lived relationship here and now.
For over twenty years, Mickey has shared this message with both children and adults through Sunday school teaching, mission work, community outreach, and service among those experiencing homelessness and hardship. At the heart of his teaching is a simple but transformative truth: you are already a child of the King. You do not earn that identity — you receive it. From that place of belonging, Mickey encourages people to run toward their Abba Father, learn His ways, and live on earth as citizens of heaven. Through his writing and ministry, Mickey extends the same invitation Jesus once gave: “Come and see.”
Mickey's first book "The Power of With" was written for children in a way that helps them, and their parents, come to know why life is just better when you live every moment "with God".
Mickeys second book "How to live a Beautiful Life from Planet Earth to Heaven" was written for those who hear in church that God is for them, not against them and has a plan and purpose for their life but they just don't feel it. They think "if that is true, Why am i living at rock bottom, unemployed and depressed?" This book reveals a step by step process that will help the reader learn how to turn that around and begin living the life they hear about in church.
Comming soon, Mickeys third book " The Fathers Welcome, A Robe, a Ring and A Crown" was written for those who believe in God, saved and forgiven but still feel like outsiders—those who know they are forgiven but quietly wonder if they are truly wanted. Mickey uses the imagery of the open door, the prodigal son, and the Father’s house to help the reader visualize and feel the beauty of God's love for them. The Father’s Welcome guides readers from shame and striving into rest, relationship, and spiritual confidence.
This book is structured as a gentle journey that walks readers from standing on the porch of faith to living fully inside the Father’s welcome—and ultimately carrying that welcome outward as ambassadors of Heaven. The book themes include adoption, identity, imagination, prayer as conversation, citizenship in Heaven, and living the Kingdom of God in everyday life.
The writing blends storytelling, Scripture, spiritual reflection, and voices from Christian history (including Thomas à Kempis, Brother Lawrence, Henri Nouwen, Brennan Manning, and others). Each chapter includes reflection questions suitable for personal journaling or small-group discussion, making the book ideal for individual readers, church groups, and discipleship settings.
I believe The Father’s Welcome will resonate with readers who appreciate the warmth and accessibility of authors such as Henri Nouwen, Max Lucado, and Brennan Manning, while offering a fresh, invitational voice centered on God as Father.
