Book Cover & Preview Text
One day, the master made an especially fine brick. “I am very pleased with you,” he said. “You are very important and have been created for a most wonderful purpose! There is a shepherd who is building a warm stable in which to keep his lambs. Tomorrow we shall travel along with your brothers to your destiny!”
"Oh no," thought the brick. The Master must have been mistaken! After all, he was the most perfect brick ever and it would be a waste to use such a wonderful brick in a simple stable. "I was surely made for the king's new palace gate!"

About the Book
Have you ever wondered about your destiny? Why were you created? What purpose are you meant to serve? Can God use you the way you are? Where do you fit in?
There was a plan for us all before we were ever made. We each have a purpose, a special place to fit. Join the Master’s brick on his journey to find that special place.
“Long before I held the manuscript, I knew that Melisa Bass O’Connor would be a successful author. She speaks with such fluidity that one never has to re-read or stumble through a sentence. I first received this story while on vacation and read it out loud to those I was with. We were all speechless for a moment as the story sank into our hearts. Old or young, you will be touched by The Master’s Brick. It is my prayer that this will be one of many books that you and I will hold in our hands and in our hearts.”
—Rena Perozich, author of The ABC’s of Being a Mother
