We asked Charles a few questions to help you get to know him better.
Did a parent or grandparent say something to you that you have remembered for a lifetime? My grandmother, who lived to be 93, always said that I should not fear growing old, because it beats the alternative!
What or who inspired you to become an author or singer or preacher?I had many friends, relatives (including my parents and grandparents), and even teachers who would tell me throughout my life that God may call me to be a preacher. They saw some things that would take me years to see for myself!
What is your favorite hobby? How does it help or influence your writing? I have been a musician most all of my life (I play several musical instruments). My own love for music is fueled in part by musicians who write their own songs, so I became interested in song writing at about the same time I became interested in other forms of writing.
Catch up with Charles at the conference and visit with him about what you have to offer Grace and Peace or Holiness Today.
