autobiography and part-Christian [[testimony]].
==Personal life==
All three of his sons, [[Mike DiBiase II|Mike]], [[Ted DiBiase, Jr.|Ted Jr.]], and [[Brett DiBiase|Brett]] are professional wrestlers, with Ted Jr. currently wrestling for [[World Wrestling Entertainment]]'s ''[[WWE Raw|Raw]]'' roster (following an introduction on television by DiBiase himself).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.milliondollarman.com/tedsbio.html|title=Ted DiBiase's Biography |accessdate=2007-10-14 |publisher=Million Dollar Man.com}}</ref> He went to [[West Texas State University]], where he was a member of [[Alpha Tau Omega]].<ref>[http://www.duke.edu/web/ato/alumni.html]</ref>
DiBiase, appeared in Christian Living Magazine in the July/Aug 2008 edition where he stated: “God
had allowed me to climb to the top—my life was made into action figures; I wrestled in front of 80,000 people. Yet, I was still not satisfied. I was trying to fill this void in my life, like so many others have done in the entertainment world. But the thing that’s almost unbelievable about God is His grace and mercy. We fail all the time, but there’s no shame in failing—only in not getting up and keeping on.”<ref>https://www.gofishproductions.net/title/study_notes_file/305/july-Aug-08.pdf</ref>
On May 14, 2009 Ted appeared in MuscleSport Magazine where his ministerial booking agent and publicist '''[[William J. Bruce III]]''' commented saying, "I have had the privilege of getting to know Ted over the last couple of years as his booking agent and publicist though Willowcreek Marketing. I will never forget a comment that I once heard him relate about the difference of knowing God or knowing about God; “a lot of people remember my last match, they can remember what I wore, what moves I made and who won, they know everything about me, but they don’t know me. In many ways that is how we as Christians are, we know everything about God…but we don’t know Him.”<ref>http://www.musclesportmag.com/2009/05/14/the-million-dollar-dream/</ref>
He also appeared in the 1978 [[Sylvester Stallone]] movie ''[[Paradise Alley]]''.
