The Master Builder is an inspiring testimony of a life dedicated to the service of God. Written by Pastor Graham White, this book chronicles his journey as a literature evangelist, publishing leader and pastor over a 50-year period, since his conversion in 1955. It will leave you with no doubt that through Christ ALL things are possible and that one man can indeed change many lives. The line that opens the book "Last words are important" is apt.
From his father's final words, which were to play a significant role in Graham White's coming to Christ, to the many people who have been reached through his literature evangelism, preaching and speaking, The Master Builder is a poignant illustration of the power of the word and, more precisely, the power of The Word.
Born into a non-Adventist family, the book is a revealing insight into Graham's early family life, Christian influences, his decision to become an Adventist and his career within the Church. On a practical level, it illustrates the topical issue of life choices we, as Adventists, often face when confronted with situations that are contrary to our values. For those looking to go into ministry, it also gives some sound advice and insight into literature evangelism, church planting, moving from vision to action, and how to build bridges with other faiths.
This book is an easy read, peppered through-out with amusing anecdotes. It shares stories of bicycles, bulldogs, goannas and even a preaching budgie. No matter what age you are, if you are looking to a life in His service, Graham White's story is one that will inspire you to persevere and heed your calling. As Graham says, "When Jesus knocks, doors and hearts open."
