"A quality diamond does not come out of every rough stone, but there is potential for every rough stone to become a quality diamond."
People like rough stones, especially Christians, are also bruted, cut, and placed in predicaments that can become difficult to overcome but not impossible. Anyone can be like a diamond, which demands God's intervention to create brilliance in a person. God is ever working in everyone's life to make them His wonderful workmanship. Unfortunately, some do not have what it takes to become a brilliant-cut diamond, only for industrial use. This is what the book is all about. God is forming from carbon (you and me) a diamond (hardest materials) that can become strong to overcome any obstacle in life.
