Most pearls in their natural state are not the perfectly round orbs we see in the jewelry store showcase. By the time a pearl gets to the jewelry store showcase it has been refined and polished to show its true beauty. You might say it has been transformed into its true self. In many ways you and I are pearls. We are the result of being covered in layers and layers of life-events. These events shape us and mold our personalities and outlook on life. Only when we allow God's love and grace to polish and transform us by polishing away the residue of life's difficulties and the sin in our lives can we be seen for who we truly are. So for all the love that was never shown, all the birthdays never celebrated, the accomplishments never recognized, hugs never given, hair bows never tied, and the childhood you were never allowed to enjoy...this book is for you. It is your reminder that God loves you. Cherishes you. Adores you. He is ready and waiting to polish you and bring you to your most beautiful self.

In this adaptation of a parable from the New Testement, a rich man who collects beautiful things discovers a beautiful pearl that he wants more than anything.

They're cut from different cloths...but their hearts are a perfect fit. Migrations of the Heart, Book 2 Asa Caldwell returned from the Great War with nothing to show for it-as in nothing below his left knee. Forget about the journalism career he loved. His story is over. Done. Yet he finds the strength to journey to Winslow, Georgia, to get Ruby Bledsoe Morson's sister out of trouble. Before he can bring Mags Bledsoe home, though, a spate of mysterious attacks reawakens his investigative instincts. During the war, Mags did her duty to God and country by stepping into a management role at the textile mill. Now she's been shuffled back to the rank and file-and Asa has her hard-earned job. Not only is the infernal man doing everything wrong, her plan for revenge against the mill owner who lynched her childhood sweetheart is farther out of reach than ever. As they clash over almost everything, Mags begins to set fire to Asa's soul, bright enough to dim the memory of the killing fields of France. Enough to give him a new mission in life-to make her feel the same way. Warning: Contains a wounded warrior who's done with fighting...and one feisty woman who makes him snap to attention.

God's Word is filled with 'pearls' of discovery. He longs for His children to wear his power, His truth, His promises, His faithfulness and His unwavering acceptance close to their hearts and spirits. Weaving together a beautiful strand from scripture with simple and profound reminders of God's heart of love toward them, women will be reminded that they, too, are precious and unique in His eyes.
