AUTHOR BIO Rev. Charles R. McCracken Charles has been a pastor for more than forty five years. In 2005 he retired from being a full time pastor to what he thought might be a less active ministry. It did not prove to be so. Among the things that he did find time to do was to write books that have a Bible base. He has authored: “The Problems of a Prophet,” “Tough Steak and Tender Gravy,” Singing in the Barn,” The Shepherd Left Behind,” and “Alms and Legs.” Out of his many years of Bible teaching he has gained insight into Bible events and characters that make these come to life. He tries to be accurate when dealing with Bible events and persons but creates a story line that makes the truths more understandable and fun to read.
