By Rosa Lee Mayes-Thomas

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."-John 14: 1-3 (NIV)

Willie Mayes, Sr. (1909 - 1986) was an honorable and godly man whose legacy of strength and integrity will continue through his children, his grandchildren, great-grands, and a host of other relatives. A Man Called John: The Amazing Life and Legacy of Elder Willie Mayes, Sr. is a loving tribute by his daughter, Rosa Lee Mayes-Thomas. This memoir shares the heartwarming story of how a humble man with very little formal schooling became a successful minister and businessman despite poverty and racism. However, Elder Willie Mayes, Sr. will be best remembered as a devoted husband, father, and servant of the LORD.
