The Artist and the Clay

Then the Artist turned and looked at the clay, "Why do you cry? I've formed you this way." There is a new creation in the Artist's studio! It's a young clay boy, curious about life. One day, he goes exploring and finds a beautiful stained glass window. This makes him why isn't the Artist making him as beautiful as the stained glass window? He refuses to cooperate until the Artist explains himself. Based on the Biblical story of the Potter and the clay, this parable will help children and even young adults see that they were created with a purpose. It will also encourage them to trust their Maker to form them into the people He created them to be. "Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." (Isaiah 64:8) Mercy McCulloch Hasselblad is a young missionary currently working overseas with her husband. The Artist has been a long-term project she started in high school when she was trying to figure out life and what she wanted to do with it. Proceeds from the book will go towards supporting them on the mission field and the next book.
