The Potter's House story is about a little piece of clay looking at all the pieces of china around him and seeing what he wants to become. The wise grandparents show patience and love by guiding him to see those choices beyond the exterior and flashiness. It also shows the Potter's role in helping him to become what is useful and good by molding him into a vessel fitting for His purpose.

The Potter is a stand alone book, yet it picks up where The Lamp Maker leaves off, at the point of salvation. The reader follows a lump of clay from the pit, through the difficult process of being molded and streched, and then into the fire where it emerges a beautiful and useable vessel. The reflection of God's face in the glazed vessel is none other than Jesus Himself. This book, like its companion, The Lamp Maker, gives the reader the opportunity to respond to the working of the Holy Spirit. A letter to The Potter on the back page can be dated and signed. A beautifully written story that inspires the reader to trust God in a deeper way and to rest in His loving hands while He molds their character to match their calling.
