An amazing story of an ordinary man in the hands of an extraordinary God. God is looking for those who are willing of heart to be used for His honor and Glory. These are the memoirs of John Lee, an ordinary man with a willing heart. In it we see the marvelous workings of The Master Craftsman as he molds and shapes a vessel that is sincere and ready for His use.
