Using the Bible story found in Jeremiah 18 as inspiration, where we discover God as the great Potter of our lives, as well as the first three verses of Psalm 40, Emily shares her testimony of how the Lord delivered her out of the mire and filthy pit and bondage of sexual sin, set her feet upon the firm foundation of Jesus, chiseled away and softened hardened parts of her marred heart with His Spirit and the water of His Word, and molded her into a beautiful vessel of honor fit for His use. The process on God’s Potter’s wheel could not take place until her entire life was completely surrendered over to Jesus Christ, declaring Him not only as her Savior, but Lord of her life.

In The Vessel: From Marred to Honorable, you will discover a life miraculously transformed for God’s glory, as only God the Potter can. Emily’s transparency throughout this book not only aids in sharing traumatic, tragic, and triumphant stories in her life, but also points the readers straight to Jesus, proclaiming, “If He did it for me, He can and will do it for you! You just need to yield your life over to His hands!”
