The word “abalone” may refer to one of three things:
- A particular type of edible mollusk with a shiny shell.
- An expletive typically employed ni fear of lunch meat, “Ahhhh Balogna!”
- A super cool magazine developed by Lucy Grecu
Let’s talk more about the third definition.
Our second year apprentice, Lucy Grecu, has launched an amazing high art magazine filled with eleven breathtaking true stories. It’s officially available today!
She’s focused the magazine on Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Each of these eight virtues has been put to work by a different author, sharing a true story that exhibits that virtue.
The stories are embedded in original photography and artwork curated by Lucy.
This isn’t just a collection of stories, it’s a true sensory experience.
And we’d love for you to have a copy. This is going to look amazing on your nightstand or coffee table, and the stories are going to remind you of what’s good and true.
However, you should know, we’re only planning to do a single print run, and only about 60 copies remain!
You can order your copy here while supplies last: https://pearlmag.co/order-the-abalone-volume-1/ (We’ll update this webpage when all of the copies have been ordered.)
You won’t find this magazine on Amazon. The only place to order it is at that link.
I’m incredibly proud of what Lucy has accomplished. She committed herself to this idea, and put in a lot of long hours to bring her vision to life.
I think it’s adventurous, provocative in all of the right ways, and honors God.
And I don’t think this is the last very cool project we’ll see from her.

Congratulations, Lucy! I’m eagerly waiting for my copies to arrive in the mail so I can see what’s inside that beautiful cover!
Lucy, this is the most extraordinary book! I was thrilled when it arrived, because honestly, it’s so beautiful and the glossy pages made it a wholly amazing textile experience. Well, this morning I finally opened it and chose Melissa’s story. I cried through the whole thing. You had to choose from many authors, and, I applaud you for choosing the best. I look forward to reading every story inside. What a treasure. As a music teacher, I say, Bravo!
