Sand to Pearls, Making Bold Choices to Enrich Your Life

by Heidi McLaughlin

Overview

Illusions of success and instant pleasure can seduce us into making poor choices. We long for fulfillment but are haggard from life’s trials and overwhelmed by what the future holds. Broken, we feel unworthy to ask God to intervene in our lives. Blinded by it all, we often overlook that God has the potential to use everything in our lives--whether good or bad.

It's time to S.T.O.P. and let God help us make bold choices to enrich our lives with freedom, fulfillment and incredible beauty!

International speaker and author of Beauty Unleashed, Heidi McLaughlin shares from her personal discoveries how God heals and restores all failures and pain. If God can take a tiny grain of sand and turn it into a gorgeous pearl, then He certainly can turn our worst decisions and biggest mistakes into a magnificent new beginning!

Editorial Reviews

Heidi scratches where women itch on subjects of friendship, over-commitment and being bound by our obligations to do more. Sand to Pearls is chocked full of wisdom, practical, joy-filled and inspiring.

Authentic. Practical. Powerful. Sand to Pearls is a resource guaranteed to encourage readers of God's desire and ability to transform our past into a promise-filled present and future.

Author of Moving from Fear to Freedom, and National Co-Director of International Messengers Canada

Grace Fox

Sand to Pearls shows us that God doesn't want us to stay in the grittiness of life-consumed with the "what ifs," overpowered by the "should," and stuck in the past.
