    About this ebook

    A Strand of Pearls

    Debra A. Newell, PhD, Creative Director, Editor and Contributing Author

    Seven women, seven lives. Difficult circumstances, choices, and consequences, and finally the grace of God to forever transform that which is broken.

    A Strand of Pearls is a collection of wisdom and truths. The truths are told by the women who lived through the challenge, trauma, battle, struggle – and came out on the victorious side. Seven women share stories of healing, redemption and transformation, overcoming life experiences salvageable only through God. Their candor and courage in sharing their stories are both an encouragement to others who have gone through or are going through trauma, as well as a testament to God’s grace and mercy. “This book is God’s story in our lives,” says one of the contributing authors.

    Each story is especially crafted to speak to the heart of the reader. The book is designed to let women out there know they are not alone, that there are people who understand, and most importantly – that our Heavenly Father cares enough to work his plan for our life to perfection. And, that He wants to heal the hurts, wounds, disappointments, and mayhem that have been experienced in life.

    Each woman’s story speaks of the bountiful transformation offered to those who seek salvation and healing from a higher power, who choose to work through hard places, rather than pretend they do not exist, ignoring a festering wound that needs tending. Each of these women demonstrates the commitment not to succumb to defeat by the "enemy." The choice each day is to draw strength from God, allowing Him to overcome the obstacles to living in the complete freedom that is ours in Christ, and to move ever upward on this journey through life.

    "It's been said that life is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens." The voices of these seven women - in their own words, through their own stories of overcoming major challenges and traumas in their lives - are a testament to the human spirit. Their stories are of faith, courage, strength, resiliency, healing and renewal. Kudos to Debra A. Newell for discovering these heroic women and for providing the with this platform to inspire other women! Yosaif August: Co-author of Help Me to Heal with Bernie S. Siegel

    A Strand of Pearls is a book that appeals to people of all ages. This book is an excellent resource for church bookstores. There are numerous potential audiences. The widest appeal will be for women, however it would benefit men as well to sensitize them to the trauma issues that their wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and friends are exposed to and experience. A Strand of Pearls also has the potential to open up a dialog in families to facilitate healing of family members. The book is a great one to provide to church members or new converts, or as an evangelical tool for individuals experiencing or in need of learning about the depth and breadth of God’s love for every person. Another potential use is for a victim support group. It can simply be a book for all readers who are fascinated by the many facets, twists and turns of life, and how God has a plan for each of us.

    Debra A. Newell

    Dr. Debra A. Newell is, among many things, a mother, worship dancer, intercessor, inspirational speaker, writer and healer... I have always been a writer, but did not remember so until a couple of incidents merged. Writing became a tool for healing after my own trauma and attending a writing conference where I first wrote about the trauma itself. The opening served as a catharsis for finding my voice on the written page. During the process, I moved into a smaller home and went through all kinds of things that I had carted around for years - only to discover very good writings from back in high school that I did not even remember writing. Subsequently, I felt lead to share the writing process with other women in a variety of venues and formats. The rest is history, as they say....though the adventure continues in very exciting ways!
