Richard and Linda Eyre are parenting experts and best-selling authors. They are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes casually called the Mormon Church. The Eyres have been among the most prominent and popular speakers in the world on topics of parenting, life-balance, and family strengthening.

The Eyres are parents of nine children, and they are often accompanied by one or more of their children when they make presentations.
