About this ebook
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 wonder: 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)
