Book: My Maker And Me
Author: Pat Domangue
Genre: Christian Living/Bible Study
Release Date: July 22, 2025
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.

My Maker and Me: A Six-Week Bible Study of Becoming God’s Beautiful Vessel
Have you ever watched a potter at work? Strong hands caress and move the clay, shaping it as it spins on the wheel. The potter leans close, eyes focused, applying just the right pressure to bring something beautiful to life.
That’s where my writing journey began — watching my first pottery demonstration and hearing the potter share the treasures he had discovered about God at that wheel. God had revealed Himself through the art and process of pottery, opening the potter’s eyes to see His intimate work in his life and the great value God saw in him.
As I listened, something stirred deep inside me. I wanted to know God like that — intimately, personally, as the Potter who shapes and molds my life. Within days, I was sitting in the potter’s class, craving to experience God in that same way. The potter guided us through every stage of creating pottery — from dry clay, to shaping damp clay on the wheel, to firing and glazing.
Each week, I carried what I learned from class into prayer, asking God to reveal Himself and show me how Scripture mirrors the process. Just as the potter shapes the clay, God shapes us into His beautiful vessels — molding us through seasons of pressure, waiting, and refining.
My Maker and Me was born from the revelation of Isaiah 64:8:
“But now, O Lord, You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.”
Through this study, women will discover the heart of the Master Potter who is intimately at work in their lives—shaping, refining, and transforming them into the vessels He created them to be.
A Season of Waiting and Shaping
One of my favorite sections of the study is Week 4: The Master’s Design. It explores how God uses waiting seasons not as wasted time, but as sacred shaping time. Even in the waiting, God is still working—molding and strengthening us to become His beautiful vessels.
Much like a potter allows the clay to rest before the next stage of forming, God allows us moments of stillness to prepare us for His next move. In those seasons, even when we can’t see or feel His presence, He is working—always with intention and love.
Writing this study wasn’t easy. God allowed me to live many of the lessons He was teaching me. I had my own moments of testing, trial, and surrender. Yet in every challenge, He revealed His faithfulness and assured me of His nearness.
An Invitation to the Journey
My prayer for My Maker and Me is that women everywhere will experience what I did—a deeper awareness of God’s hand at work in their lives. Whether you’re in a season of stretching, refining, or resting, I believe this study will help you see how the Potter is crafting something beautiful in you.
Come join me on this journey of becoming God’s beautiful vessel.
Interview with Pat
When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
It sort of snuck up on me. I didn’t set out to become a writer. I was simply studying the Bible to teach an 8th grade Sunday School class. With four weeks to prepare a lesson on Jehovah Rapha, the Lord Who Heals, I became completely consumed with the study. Before long, I had pages and pages of notes and Scripture references spread out everywhere.
I knew that if I didn’t organize all of it, I wouldn’t be able to make sense of it myself, much less teach it to anyone else. So I started structuring my notes, shaping them into a clear outline. That outline ultimately became my first Bible study, Quest for Wholeness: Healing the Broken.
Even after writing that study, I still didn’t fully grasp writing as a lifelong calling. It wasn’t until God stirred my heart to write My Maker and Me that I realized writing Bible studies for women was God’s calling in my life.
Since then, I’ve written and published three more Bible studies for women, including this one. God used one Sunday School lesson for eighth-graders to set my feet on the path He had planned—helping women know Him and apply His Word to their everyday lives.
What is your real-life work schedule like when writing?
When I’m in a writing season, my days follow a pretty steady rhythm. I’m an early-morning writer, so my day usually begins before the sun is up with coffee and quiet time with the Lord. After that, I transition straight into writing while my mind is the most focused and creative. Those morning hours are my most productive, and I typically work straight through until early afternoon.
I normally stop for lunch around 1pm. At that point, I shift gears. Afternoons are when I get tasks that don’t require the same level of mental energy – editing podcast episodes, catching up on ministry emails, doing laundry, or prepping dinner. Some days I get the joy of picking up my grandchildren from school, which is always a welcome break from the desk.
By the time evening rolls around, I close the door on work. My husband gets home around 6:30pm, and that’s our time to reconnect and relax. A few nights each week we head to the gym together which also helps clear my mind after a full day.
What are your favorite books to read?
As a Bible study author and teacher and someone who fully believes in the power of God’s Word to transform, I read the Bible every day – usually several chapters. I also enjoy working through other people’s Bible studies, and I’m one of those people who actually loves reading commentaries. When I’m studying a passage, I like digging into the historical context, original languages, and different perspectives to deepen my understanding.
Most of what I read is non-fiction. I’m drawn to books that help me grow and develop mentally, emotionally, relationally, physically, and spiritually. Anything that challenges me or helps me become more grounded in who God created me to be tends to land on my nightstand.
I do enjoy fiction as well, but usually only when I’m on vacation at the beach. I’ll try to read one or two novels a year during that time. My favorite fiction author is Francine Rivers—her stories are rich, redemptive, and beautifully written.
What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
When I’m not writing, you can usually find me doing one of two things: spending time with my grandchildren (I have five!) or working out at the gym. Those two things really go hand in hand for me. I exercise because I want to stay strong and healthy so I can fully enjoy my grandchildren, keep up with their energy, and stay active in their lives for as long as the Lord allows.
How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I’ve written and published four women’s Bible studies, and I have several more that I’ve written but not pursued for publication. The answer to, which one is my favorite: each one is my favorite while I’m writing it.
Each study represents a unique aspect of my own spiritual transformation. God healed me from my past through Quest for Wholeness. He taught me about spiritual warfare through Equipped & Empowered. He deepened my passion for teaching women how to study Scripture through DIG. And through My Maker and Me, He reshaped my understanding of my true identity and purpose.
One unpublished study, Not Home Yet: A Glimpse of Revelation’s Treasures, is especially meaningful because I came to Christ while studying Revelation. That study transformed my fear of the future into confidence in God’s ultimate victory.
Because of the personal transformation tied to each one, every study holds a special place in my heart making it impossible to choose just one favorite.
