Living Treasure began as personal letters written to each member of a small women's Bible study to encourage them each week. As the study grew in number and it became harder to write each member, Lucy began writing one letter for the entire group. Along the way someone remarked, "You ought to put these letters in a book!" and that became Lucy's first book, Letters To The Precious Group. After the third printing, other books followed that traced Lucy's life and how she saw God at work and used these letters to encourage her "precious pilgrims." Later came a radio program which contains these letters, and then television. Though Lucy doesn't consider herself a teacher, this "letter writer" and encourager has been used by God to reach many in a simple and direct way.
