## Ministries

### Above Rubies

Above Rubies was started back in 1977. It is a free magazine designed to encourage women in their God given roles as daughters, wive, and mothers. Every issue includes a family update with pictures, as well as articles written by the readers, such as Jill Rodrigues. Because they rely solely on donations and monies from other things they sell, such as the Trim Healthy Mama books, the magazine does not come out on a regular basis. On average, subscribers receive two issues a year.

### Trim Healthy Mama

Trim Healthy Mama is a diet and cookbook philosophy very popular with the fundie families, such as Jessa (Duggar) Seewald . Although it is written by Pearl (Campbell) Barrett and Serene (Campbell) Allison, the distribution is a family event and often featured in the Above Rubies magazine and facebook page, with many of the grandchildren participating.

Many readers credit Trim Healthy Mama for curing their unexplained infertility.
