Nugget and the Refiner (Tittle)

Nugget and the Refiner is a parable about how a loving God uses hard times in the lives of His children to remove their sin and mold them into the image of Jesus. Nugget is a rock—not a gem but an ugly hunk of ore buried in the ooze—who is comfortable there until one day when a traveler wrenches him from the ground and takes him on the most uncomfortable, but surprising, journey of his life. A warm, gospel-centered story crafted in the furnace of affliction.
