Please celebrate with us at the release of Pearl Girls: Encountering Grit, Experiencing Grace (Moody Publishers, July 2009). Join us in prayer that this book would be a “Blessed Seller” for the charities supported by the sales of this book.
Every Pearl Girl story holds a message of hope and grace. God isn’t finished with us yet!
- Karen Kingsbury, bestselling author of the Above the Line series
Perhaps you have heard the story of the oyster that unexpectedly gets a piece of sand stuck inside its shell. Nacre coats this irritant and creates a pearl. Like the oyster, we encounter unexpected grit in our everyday lives—illness, loss, disappointment, pain, changes . . . and the list goes on. However, God’s nacre of love and grace covers our pain and transforms us into precious pearls. Pearl Girl™.
You will read true stories from some amazing women who have unexpectedly encountered grit and experienced grace through the difficult times. You won’t want to miss one of these inspiring narratives! Perhaps you will recognize your own situation or know someone else who is facing similar circumstances. The prayer of Pearl Girls™ is that you will find comfort and assurance of God’s grace and love during life-changing moments and during the everyday challenges. You are not alone.
You are cordially invited to become a Pearl Girl. Please visit the Post-a-Pearl site. (Coming Soon!) Share your story of encountering grit and experiencing grace and read the many other stories that are posted.
