About the Book
Book: My Maker and Me
Author: Pat Domangue
Genre: Christian Living/Bible Study
A six-week guided Bible study based on Isaiah 64:8, My Maker & Me helps Christian women discover God as their potter and understand His continual presence in their lives.
Through the unique perspective of viewing God and themselves through Scripture and the art of pottery, Christian women will learn how God intimately works to shape them into the beautiful vessels He created them to become, much like a potter shapes clay.
Many Christian women struggle with trusting God because they don’t know Him from the intimate perspective of their potter. My Maker & Me helps women grow in understanding God’s love and care for them especially when they face difficult seasons or walk through fiery trials. As their trust grows, they will also find security, purpose, and meaning even in the most difficult seasons of life. If they are struggling with who they are and discovering their purpose, they will gain a greater sense of their true identity and purpose, setting them up to embrace God’s plan for their life. Women committed to completing this six-week study will experience spiritual growth and personal transformation.
Q&A
1) Why did you want to write a Bible study based on the art of pottery?
That’s really a three-part answer.
First, I write Bible studies because Jesus changed the trajectory of my life through studying His Word. Not only did I fall in love with Jesus and Scripture, but God also ignited an unquenchable fire in my heart to help spark that same passion in other women. Since God’s calling into women’s ministry over twenty years ago, I’ve met many Christian women who struggle to trust God simply because they don’t know Him from the intimate perspective of Him as their Potter.
Second, my heart was deeply stirred the first time I watched a pottery demonstration and heard the potter’s testimony of how God revealed Himself through the art and process of shaping clay. I saw the beauty of God’s intimate work with His creation—how He values each vessel and remains lovingly involved in every detail. Within days, I found myself in that potter’s class, eager to experience God in the same way.
The potter guided us through every stage of creating pottery. As I prayed through each stage, I began to see Scripture reflected in the process. Just as the potter shapes the clay, God shapes us—molding us through pressure, waiting, and refining seasons.
Finally, I knew this revelation was too precious to keep to myself. I wanted other women to know and trust God as their personal Potter—present, loving, and intentional as He forms them into His beautiful vessels.
