Book excerpt: Have you ever thought that your life was lost without purpose? Do you believe that your present circumstance define your future? As a rebellious young man, Ipe Mathai appeared to be on the path to nowhere. From a small town in rural Kerala, India, he rejected his family and became a homeless runaway. He joined the multitude of people living on the streets of India. What kind of future could there be for him? A great one..... once he obeyed God's call. Through many divinely appointed moments, God took a rebellious, lost, young man, who was searching for an identity, and led him to a place of spiritual and personal fulfillment. A Handful of Clay in the Potter's Hand shows that no failures, no sickness, no fear, no setback, and no person can block the flow of God's blessing... if you are a willing vessel. It is a personal story that shows a new life through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Ipe Mathai is the founder and president of Mathai Outreach Ministries. He is also a successful entrepreneur of several healthcare enterprises. Ipe was born in Pandalam, a town in Kerala, India. He and his wife, Susie, live in Houston, Texas.
