The Oil Lamp: A Christian Children’s Book About Courage and Shining God’s Light

God created each of us with a special purpose. Sometimes fulfilling that purpose requires courage!

In The Oil Lamp, the third book in The Potter Series, children discover how to shine God’s light. Award-winning author and illustrator Dawn Stephens brings this important lesson to life through a beautifully illustrated Christian allegory.

Oil Lamp is a vessel created by the Potter for a special purpose. However, fear and uncertainty threaten to keep him from fulfilling it. As a result, he must learn to trust the Potter and find the courage to shine.

Helping Children Overcome Fear and Find Courage

Every child experiences fear, uncertainty, or self-doubt. For example, children may feel afraid when facing new situations or standing up for what is right. They may also hesitate to share their faith.

Fortunately, The Oil Lamp reminds children that courage doesn’t mean never feeling afraid. Instead, courage means trusting God and taking the next step.

Through Oil Lamp’s journey, children learn that:

• God created them with unique gifts and a special purpose.
• They can trust God even when they feel afraid.
• Their words and actions can reflect God’s love.
• They don’t have to hide the light God has placed within them.
• Even small acts of courage and kindness can make a difference.

Let Your Light Shine

Jesus tells His followers:

“You are the light of the world.” — Matthew 5:14

Inspired by Matthew 5:14–16, The Oil Lamp encourages children to shine for Jesus. They can share His love at home, at school, and wherever God places them.

Additionally, this Christian children’s book gives families opportunities for meaningful conversations. Parents, grandparents, homeschoolers, and Sunday school teachers can explore courage, faith, obedience, and God’s purpose together.
