Gary L Hauck

Lee's young life shattered when he learned of his illegitimate birth and cut down the rope used by his newly revealed biological father to commit suicide. Spurred on by his spiritual conversion and his mother's rejection by the Christian community, Lee studied for the ministry in a desire to extend God's grace and encouragement to others. After surmounting several academic and denominational obstacles, he finally achieved an active ministry in the church and higher Christian education. However, in the process of acquiring an acceptable ministry, Lee lost sight of grace as the heart of his faith. It took his own spiritual and moral failure to help him truly accept his parents and others. In his brokenness, Lee learned by experience that grace and grace alone is everyone's hope and strength.
