The Clay Pot Conspiracy

In The Clay Pot Conspiracy, Dave Harvey helps us see God’s plan to use weakness in leaders. This book is for leaders who know they are lacking. Harvey shares his own personal and family struggles, showing how grace—like manna—arrives for the moment and lasts for the day. We need new mercies each morning.

I was most moved by the chapter on learning to love when the church wounds you. Christians can count on God’s grace to carry them through troubling times. Harvey writes with skill and care. This book will comfort and encourage leaders who have been hurt by the church.

Amazing Grace for Unimpressive Leaders

I was most challenged by the idea that revealing our vulnerabilities and weaknesses can actually make us stronger leaders. We are cracked clay pots overflowing with sin. But God works in and through our weaknesses to show that he is strong.

Even enemies can help us enlarge our souls and strengthen our faith. This book helped me see that my weaknesses are not disqualifications, but qualifications—and even advantages—in my leadership. I am pressed to depend on God as he exploits my weaknesses for his glory. Our weakness + God’s power = resilient ministry.
