Pearl Girls, Encountering Grit, Experiencing Grace, compiled by Margaret McSweeney,  encourages and gives glory to God by telling courageous women’s true stories of how God turned their life’s grit into pearls.

 “We’re all Pearl Girls,” states McSweeney, “With His love and grace, God covers  unexpected pain and transforms this pain into a pearl. Each of us has been touched by God’s gift of love and grace, and it’s a gift that I want to share with others. That’s why I am launching Pearl Girls.”

Pearl Girls resonates within the Christian woman’s soul. As I drank in the pages of Pearl Girls, I heard the voice of faithful Christian women spanning the ages humming a low, soulful  “Amazing Grace.”  It sends a powerful message that with God’s tender mercies, we have hope during and through every trial. Pearl Girls contributor, Maureen Lang notes, “It is the hard moments in life that are undeniably tied to those things that make us strong.” Each story holds its own amazing gift of courage, and as a whole, Pearl Girls weaves a mighty story of faith and sisterhood. This book is a drink of Living Water for the tired and thirsty soul.

Pearl Girls proceeds benefit two charities.

When you purchase Pearl Girls, 100% of the royalties go directly to two charities: WINGS  (proceeds help fund a Safe House in the Chicago suburbs), and Hands of Hope, (proceeds help build wells in Uganda for school children.)
