We Are Called to Adventure
My debut novel, The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady, is about what happens when a group of prayer shawl knitters step out of their comfort zone to knit their shawls, not in the quiet prayer chapel at their church, but at a busy mall during the Christmas shopping season. It turns out to be quite an adventure.
Come Along on an Adventure into God’s Word
To this end, I’ve written a companion Bible study to take the reader deeper into the message of The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady. “Called to Adventure” is a six-week Bible study that explores some of the spiritual themes of the book. The study covers such topics as responding to God’s call (“The Winds of Change”), taking the light of God’s love into the world (“Into the Darkness”), and forgiving others (“Travelling Light”).
Developing this study has been an adventure in itself! I must admit that after my agent suggested I do this, I dragged my feet. Me? Write a Bible study? But much like Margaret was chased up to Barbara’s hospital room, God nudged me, over and over to write this study. I finally had to say “Uncle!” when a recent Oxford seminary graduate offered to help.
My pastor graciously allowed me to “test-drive” it with the ladies of my church. I learned a great deal from my “beta-testers.” The result is a revised and expanded study with an accompanying leader’s guide.

I am so excited at the possibility of a bible study of The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady. We read that book in book club at church and, I have to say, it was one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. And, considering I read close to 300 books a year, that’s really a huge statement. I have recommended your book to so many people, including the nurses and aides at the rehab facility where my mom is currently. I look forward to the opportunity to Called to Adventure!
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed the book. Thank you so much for spreading the word and recommending it to others. It means so much to know it’s touching hearts and lives!
It’s available now! I’m so glad you enjoyed the book. Thank you for sharing it with others!
Hi Sharon, I can’t wait for your bible study. Our Prayer Shawl Ministry girls loved your book, and I’m sure I’ll be able to use your bible study during our meeting devotionals. God has surely blest you with the ability to write so beautifully. Thank you for heeding God’s nudgings.
