King David has an important role in the Old and New Testaments and huge impact on the nation of Israel. The Father witnessed and said about David, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart.” (Acts 13:22) The Lord Jesus, Son of David, witnessed, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying ...” (Matthew 22:43) The Holy Bible said about him, “Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the Lord is with him.” (1 Samuel 16:18) A great man like that, who went through a lot in his life from being uncounted among his brothers to become a king of all Israel, who experienced distress, joy, victory, defeat, with a heart after God’s heart—it is worthy to know how he, by the Holy Spirit, expressed all these feelings and put them in the psalms. This book will search that heart to bring out of his treasure things new and old. (Matthew 13:52)

The day Jason Lawson’s stress reached a tipping point, he found himself shaking so badly he couldn’t even pour orange juice into a blender for his family’s breakfast. He felt like his world was falling around him, and he was afraid of losing his family, his job, and his mind. But that was the day Jason met the Potter. Not the cartoon God on nursery walls, or the religious God preached about in many churches. That day, Jason began a journey with the Potter to learn Who He really is and why He created man, and this journey is compiled in his new devotional The Potter’s Hands: A 366-Day Journey to Knowing God. The Potter’s Hands tackles questions such as: If the Potter is so good, then why did He create me to hurt and struggle? Why am I so cracked and flawed? Why does He fill me with so much pain? …and many more. The answer Jason found was simple—He is the Potter and we are the clay. He formed us for His glory, not our comfort. He decides our size and shape, He chooses what to pour into us, and He is the One Who determines where He places us. Our role in this is to trust Him as the Potter, the Savior, the Counselor, the Servant, the Commander, the Spirit, the Creator, the Father, the Rabbi, the Redeemer, the Healer, and the Shepherd. The heartbeat of The Potter’s Hands is to remind readers that the clay can do nothing apart from the Potter’s hands, but in the Potter’s hands, He can create a masterpiece for His glory. What more could we ask for? Come along for one year and walk with Him. Let the Potter reveal to you Who He really is.

Invites readers to embrace fresh perspectives on prayer, the Word, solitude, and creation, and continue to sustain their spirituality through hospitality, generosity, service, and obedience to Christ.

The Christian community often thinks of purity only as it relates to issues of sexuality, but the term encompasses much more than that. We need to look closely at all it means to be pure as God intended. So what does purity mean? As modern women, how can we follow Paul's command in Colossians to "put to death" impurity? How does purity adorn a godly woman? Lydia Brownback looks to Scripture to answer these questions as she engages an issue faced by all women. The newest in a series of compact devotional books for women, Purity guides us to understand that our hearts are purified as we lean on the purity of Christ and his perfect work for us. These devotionals are a daily reminder to women that putting Christ first takes care of everything else.
