A Commercial Break

In an act of shameless self-promotion, I'm going to tell you about my latest book. It's called A Lump of Clay. It is written as a parable with a powerful message for anyone who thinks life hasn't turned out the way it was hoped or expected. If you have experienced disappointment in life because you've worked so hard, done all the right things, and expected life to turn out better, this is a book you should read.

Everyone is asking if this is a children's story or a book for adults. I have to admit that at first I thought of A Lump of Clay as a parable I could read to my grandchildren. I began writing it after the fashion of a children's story, but when I came to the end of this book I wasn’t expecting what happened. It was a surprise — even for me. Discovering the end of the story was an emotional experience for me because of the powerful message that emerged.

This is a simple and engaging story. Children and grandchildren will enjoy it as it is read to them — and later in life, as they read this book themselves, they will understand the greater significance.

It is my hope that this book will cause readers to reflect on the deeper meaning, value, and purpose of life. You will discover it, if you ask the right question. And you’ll find that question in this book.

Once you read A Lump of Clay for yourself, you might decide it will make a perfect Christmas gift for friends and family. It's available at www.candlelight-books.com
