Back to Basics

About the Book

This book was cooked in the cauldron of an active life. No Ivory Tower studiousness here! Like a good Cajun Gumbo, the ingredients come from many facets of life. Family relationships, ministry, health and illness, birth and death, joy and depression, success and pathos are all ingredients in our lives. The roux is our relationship with our Creator. Christianity is simply the relationship between our Heavenly Father and people. The Good News is simple, fishermen and commonfolk have often understood that better than scholars. Master chefs can make haute cuisine, but for me nothing beats good old country cooking. Theologians are master chefs. I'm a fisherman. My recipe for life is found in this book. God is good. He loves you. Love God,and love people. Use this recipe and enjoy life with God.

About the Author

Brother Charlie is a Christian. His wife of twenty-eight years is a Pastor. They raise four children (and their friends) in Metairie, Louisiana. They joyfully attend Victory Fellowship in Metairie. Diane is the more spiritual. When not at work, or dealing with the kids, she is usually hidden in her prayer closet studying the Bible. Charlie is an ICU nurse, and when he is not busy the best place to find him is in the marshes in a pirogue or flatboat. There is where he and God talk the most, as they enjoy the scenery and the catch of the day.
