From Xulon author Alan J. Burns comes a timely and powerful message about the perfect will of God for people's lives. Burns' literary debut, The Potter and His Clay: How to Know God's Present Purpose for Your Life Now (Starting Well and Finishing Strong, the Christian Grace Race) (paperback, 978-1-60477-964-6), has taken the imagery and complete process of making clay pottery in the ancient world and applied it to allegorical language. In our current culture, fleeting trends, and worldly patterns have ensnared the contemporary church. This is a subject that has often been glossed over in our society--one that needs to be brought to the attention of Christians everywhere.
Speaking from experience as the director of Rivers of Life Outreach Ministries, Burns has seen many believers get sidelined due to heresy, bitterness, and sin. "I myself have had to
overcome many obstacles and guard my heart from believers," he says. "I have experienced betrayals, as most of us have." But with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, he was taught important
spiritual principles to employ while fighting the devil and false believers. Now he believes his inspiring message will resonate with American Christians.
Says Burns, "It will expose to them the many obstacles and pitfalls the devil and life itself can use to discourage them to give up and quit before they reach the finish line of God s
plan and purpose for their life. It deals with a much neglected subject in the American church--on the ways, dealings, guidance, and the nature and character of God."
