The Lamp Maker has a Dr. Seuss-like rhythm with a dash of Max Lucado charm that connects with young readers while its deep spiritual truths resonate with adults and children alike. In this story, the Lamp Maker represents the Almighty God who created all mankind to shine with the light of Christ. A powerful and relevant metaphor, this charming story encourages those who hear it to respond to Jesus and to let His light shine through them. This heirloom book features a letter to The Lamp Maker on the back page that allows the reader to commemorate the start of their relationship with Christ, with their name and date. Whether it’s the need for a light bulb, to be plugged into the power, or the reminder to stop using one’s “free-will switch” to shut off the Lord’s light, this book challenges everyone who hears it to respond to Jesus.

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.
