The car came to a stop at the side of the road. How could I have gotten to such a low point in my life? In the pursuit of happiness and acceptance, I felt as if I had dug myself a murky pit and couldn't get out of it. The harder I tried, the deeper I seemed to sink. I was losing my mother, the only person I thought loved me for me. There in the dark, I tried bargaining with God. Take me, God, and spare my mother. She has done so much for the church. She deserves to continue living. All I have done is destroy my life. What good am I? Why would you want someone like me? As soon as those words left my lips, the words that had been spoken to me by a prophet started sounding so clear in my mind. A warm, comforting feeling began to envelop me. The desperation was leaving me. I knew how I could contribute. There in the dark, I found a way to give hope to all who didn't know how to find it.

Your Gift from God the Holy Spirit Matters (Book 1. This book is part of a 3 book series.) In Your Gift from God the Holy Spirit Matters, Charles takes the reader on a hunt to explore how the individual believer is granted a supernatural gift. He persuades and convinces the believer to discover his individual strategic gifting. He defines and illustrates the gifts and tackles the controversial. Charles says Ministry gifts were given to prepare the saints for the work of service and not to do the work of the ministry. He shows how Pentecostal Evangelicals, Charismatic Evangelicals and Traditional Evangelicals have been uniquely gifted and what must be discovered at the individual level according to the divine strategy of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Spiritual Gifts: Welcome to the church. (Book 2) In Spiritual Gifts: Welcome to the Church, Charles defines and describes each gift. He persuades the believer to connect with individual gifting, according to the will of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He urges that every believer is entrusted with a gift that can be known and used to benefit many. Spiritual gifts: Church Under Siege (Book 3) In Spiritual gifts: Church Under Siege, Charles laments over how ministry gifts which were intended to prepare saints have been woefully neglected. He argues that believers are granted abilities and leaders are needed who are willing to invest in them. He moans that those with ministry gifts of the Lord Jesus Christ have behaved as if they are not committed to training individual believers. The Black pulpit has ignored the pews in the department of gift identification and developing. He pleads with the leaders as ministers of the Lord Jesus Christ to fulfil the number one functional dynamic in this life.
