This book is an amazing life story of Father Charles Strobel. Reading of the struggles of his own family and neighbors, and then befriending homeless men who were once teased by Charlie and his friends.
As these homeless men welcomed Charlie, they described to him the way that people need to be treated. In a way, that seemed to set the stage for whom Charlie would become.
This book contains a series of stories which led to Charlie becoming an Ordained Minister. It’s a description of one man’s heart that never stopped growing.
Reading this book was amazing to me, having met Charlie on many occasions at Room In The Inn, but only knowing him as the man who started everything. Had I known his whole life story, I would have had a much brighter vision of everything he had to overcome to give us what we have today.
But Charlie was a very humble man and wasn’t doing any of this for notoriety. He finally told his story with the hopes that people would continue on the path that he created.
It doesn’t take long to read, but it can give you some inspirational memories of love, kindness, and humanity.
