Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our continual struggles, as women, is to believe in our value in spite of our pain and past mistakes. I am a pearl will empower you to accept God¿s love and forgiveness, recognize that no matter what you have done or what you have experienced you were created for a purpose, and that God sees you as a pearl of great value.Based on the parable, of the pearl found in Matthew 13:45-46, I am a Pearl unfolds key principles in overcoming painful pasts, improving the present, and embracing the future. One may ask, ¿Why a pearl and not a diamond?¿ When you study the pearl--the meaning, the value, the symbolism, and the creation process--it is a natural comparison. The pearl is the only gem that emerges from nature requiring no cutting or sculpting to enhance its splendor. Like a pearl, you entered into the world as God created you; man cannot take credit for your magnificence.Prepare yourself for a life changing perspective on your experiences, and confirmation of God¿s unfailing love.

Download or read book American Baroque written by Molly A. Warsh and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearls have enthralled global consumers since antiquity, and the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella explicitly charged Columbus with finding pearls, as well as gold and silver, when he sailed westward in 1492. American Baroque charts Spain's exploitation of Caribbean pearl fisheries to trace the genesis of its maritime empire. In the 1500s, licit and illicit trade in the jewel gave rise to global networks, connecting the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean to the pearl-producing regions of the Chesapeake and northern Europe. Pearls—a unique source of wealth because of their renewable, fungible, and portable nature—defied easy categorization. Their value was highly subjective and determined more by the individuals, free and enslaved, who produced, carried, traded, wore, and painted them than by imperial decrees and tax-related assessments. The irregular baroque pearl, often transformed by the imagination of a skilled artisan into a fantastical jewel, embodied this subjective appeal. Warsh blends environmental, social, and cultural history to construct microhistories of peoples' wide-ranging engagement with this deceptively simple jewel. Pearls facilitated imperial fantasy and personal ambition, adorned the wardrobes of monarchs and financed their wars, and played a crucial part in the survival strategies of diverse people of humble means. These stories, taken together, uncover early modern conceptions of wealth, from the hardscrabble shores of Caribbean islands to the lavish rooms of Mediterranean palaces.
