Are you ready to receive your "pearl"? There is a "pearl" of great value which each of us can allow to be created from our past emotional woundings. Just like an oyster can transform a grain of irritating sand or some other interior damaging object into a beautiful pearl of great value, we have the resources to transform our emotional wounding into healings. There is a "pearl" of great value for each of us. The "pearl" is Jesus the Christ, the healer, the Son of God, who can transform our wounded, painful, hurting, damaged, sinful lives into a "pearl" of great value and great beauty as we stretch forth our "wounded hands" to receive it.No Wound...No Pearl! is a fictional story of Gerard LaPetit, who as a child suffers severe traumatizing, emotional wounding at the hands of his family and others. Gerard writes a letter to God. Will he ever receive an answer? His wounding carries over into his adult life and boils out on his family and on all whom he encounters. At "Oysterman's Oyster Bar Restaurant," in Apalachicola, Florida, he meets an aged African American man named "Oysterman" who opens Gerard's oysters for him. Oysterman informs Gerard along with his family of how an oyster makes a pearl by healing a wound and that we too can make "pearls" from our emotional wounds. Oysterman offers Gerard a healing "pearl" literally and figuratively from one of Gerard's oysters. Due to a distraction from an irritating phone call, Gerard misses the healing message and his life spirals downward with instances of explosive, angry, and drunken behavior caused by his "best friend", anger. After going to counseling with Dr. Bluestein whom Gerard refers to as "Dr.Bluebrain", Gerard eventually has another encounter with Oysterman. Gerard hears the healing message again and is literally and figuratively offered another pearl by Oysterman. Will Gerard stretch forth his "withered" hand to receive it?
