Summary
Book Summary: Strand of Pearls is more than just another women’s Bible study. It’s a proven, reproducible method of equipping women to obey the Great Commission. And through Catalyst Missions, God is using it to change the lives of women around the world. This workbook is comprised of a collection of twenty-five lessons—straight from the pages of God’s Word. The lessons are both relevant and applicable to women at any station of life. Here is a sampling of lessons you will find in Strand of Pearls:
- The Well Who Came to the Woman
- Perishing in the Pew
- Redeemed from a Sinful Past
- Holy Habit of Quiet Time
- The Basics of Bible Study
- The Health of Your countenance—Dealing with Depression
- Cure for the Poison of Bitterness
- Seasons of Storms, Sorrows, and Suffering
The strategy of this book is based on the five phases of spiritual growth and a series of lessons that correspond to each of them. This provides women with a simple plan to follow in personal and group Bible study. Making disciples the way Jesus did is organic. He chose twelve ordinary men (and a few women too), and He did life with them. He was their teacher, His word was their curriculum, and every situation became a classroom for learning. This workbook teaches women how to emulate Jesus’ methods.

Book Reviews: I had been in a spiritual rut and praying for a way out when I attended a Catalyst Women’s retreat and received my copy of Strand of Pearls. At the retreat, we learned that our spiritual growth will stall out unless we give out. This reminded me of my purpose on this earth—to know Christ and to make Him known. I asked the Lord to bring a woman into my life whom I could disciple. He did, and she lives just next door! In her sixties and a new believer, she was eager to know the Scriptures. As we study these lessons together, we’re being challenged, encouraged, and blessed by God’s Word. I know it will be a blessing to others as well.

As part of a group of women who sat around Ginny Porter’s table and learned these lessons as this book was being developed, I am thrilled to see this labor of love published! The Biblical truths contained here have changed my life. I know that these truths are being multiplied around the world and that God is using this wonderful tool to fulfill the Great Commission.

After thirty years of teaching women in Sunday school, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Bible. But studying the lessons in Strand of Pearls has taught me how to study the Bible, opening my eyes to truths I had never seen before and changing my perception of what it means to be a true follower of Christ. Having personally taught these lessons at home and abroad, I never cease to be amazed at how God is using these truths to impact the lives of women. I am thrilled to be a part of what God is doing through this ministry. I whole heartedly recommend this book to you.
