![]() ![]() Phillip Keller was a shepherd I am a potter. I read that book many times, and every single time, I got to know God a little bit better. Keller noticed that Jesus called himself a good shepherd, and then he realized that unless you happen to know a whole lot about shepherds and sheep, you might miss the power of that image. ![]() ![]() ![]() LES: This book is such a departure from your widely known Inklings studies, including The Company They Keep and Bandersnatch. What prompted you to write Clay in the Potter’s Hands originally?ĭPG: I was inspired by a classic book by Phillip Keller called A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23. I cannot recommend it to you highly enough. Clay in the Potter’s Hands deserves to keep company with them. I have clung to My Utmost for His Highest, Streams in the Desert, and any thing by Spurgeon over the course of my life in Christ. There is just the richness of good writing from a fellow pilgrim, matched with good images to shape our thinking and wondering. There is no glib answer offered in this book, no prescriptive packaged and assigned. Wisely and carefully written, it allows the reader to ponder processes and metaphors to find meaning for their own soul. Clay in the Potter’s Hands does not fall into that category. The much beloved devotional guide, Clay in the Potter’s Hands, by Diana Pavlac Glyer has just been released in a new full colour gift edition! Devotional guides are difficult at best to get right, and many never achieve what they set out to. ![]()
