Description: "For a decade Marlie [Marilyn] has been reading old documents, old letters, and visiting places where they lived and he worked. Her research, artfully gathered in this book, will give to readers more than the life story of a man who died in 1960. Each chapter explores the wisdom of Charlie gained through struggle with faith and finances, with call and calling - wisdom we can use, as we, too, struggle to live into the callings we all have."--Back of book.
