Book Description
When Manasseh first takes his very best clay out of his bag to make a centerpiece for King Herod, little did he know what his lump of clay was really destined to become. When we are first introduced to this very proud lump of clay, he is excited to be sitting on a famous potter's wheel in Jerusalem, wondering what he is destined to look like physically and how famous he is going to be one day. We follow him on his journey around and around the potter's wheel, to his first home, to his second, and finally see the very reason why he had been created in the first place. His journey is not an easy one, and he has hard lessons to learn, but the story of the little lump of clay shows how God's intended outcomes make all the trials and tribulations worthwhile.
