Diamond and Pearl Moments: Stories of Faith, Grace and a Life Well-Lived Volume 1

Diamond and Pearl Moments Stories of Faith, Grace and a Life Well-Lived — Volume 1 Life is made of moments — some brilliant and unforgettable like diamonds, others quietly shaped through pressure and time like pearls. In this collection of 75 reflections and poems, Dr. Linda Childres-Tribioli draws from more than three decades as a Christian counselor, a mother, a grandmother, and a woman who has walked with Christ through seasons most would prefer to forget. These are not polished success stories. They are honest ones. You will meet a son whose drinking was destroying his marriage — and the prayer that outlasted the addiction. A 29-year marriage that ended in divorce, and the spiritual reconciliation that came ten years later. A family estranged for a decade, reconnected by a Girl Scout and a box of cookies. A woman with a racing heart and nowhere to turn but the kitchen table, a shaft of sunlight, and God. Organized into seven themes — Faith, Grace, Love, Patience, Self-Control, Thanksgiving, and Wisdom — each story closes with a Scripture that anchors what the heart just experienced. Brief enough to read in five minutes. Honest enough to stay with you all day. If you are raising a prodigal. Carrying a broken marriage. Waiting for reconciliation that hasn't come yet. Or simply in need of a reminder that God is still at work in the ordinary — this book was written for you.
