Overview

The idea that God works in our lives like a potter working with clay is quite familiar: Pastors preach about it, Christians sing about it, and it is found in the Bible from beginning to end. In Clay in the Potter's Hands, Diana Pavlac Glyer breathes new life into this well-loved image, combining beautiful photography with an engaging, narrative style. This workbook is designed to accompany Clay in the Potter's Hands and provide space to go deeper into each and every chapter. The more we know about clay, kilns, wheels, grog, firing, glazing, wedging, and the like, the more this spiritual picture becomes vivid and useful in our daily lives. Accessible and highly recommended for personal reflection, mentoring and discipleship groups, Sunday School classes, and spiritual retreats. Before reading this book, I looked at the metaphor of the potter and the clay merely as a lesson in accepting the way God made me. This book helped me see through the eyes of the potter and opened up a great many other lessons for me to meditate on. I felt so inspired by the lessons in this book. Daniel Cothran, Tunghai University, Taiwan This is a book to be savored. Devotional books like this one are rare; I don't remember the last time I read one which expresses the richness of Scripture with such simplicity, grace, and practical application. My own 'crack-pot' life experienced the shaping restoring, and encouraging hand of the Potter through reading this book. I highly recommend the experience. Rev. Will Vaus, President of Will Vaus Ministries and Pastor of Stowe Community Church, Stowe, Vermont Never has the most careful Old Testament scholar explained Isaiah's image of the potter and the clay (Is. 45:9) better than Diana Glyer in 'Clay in the Potter's Hands.' Never again will I look at a clay pot in the same ordinary way. Neither will you. Read it slowly, devotionally, one chapter a day. Think on each chapter, pray over it, and find yourself molded, changed, enlightened, and encouraged. Joel Heck, Professor of Theology, Concordia University Texas
