From The Introduction: Ever since the beginning of time , humans have always wanted to communicate with the supernatural. Many different ways have been created.

Charlie, Charlie can we play?

Charlie's Challenge is a "true" story. A Polar Bear came into our camp area the night that we arrived. He was pacing along the coastline of Hudson Bay, waiting for the bay waters to freeze so he could go out and hunt seals for dinner. He was hungry after a long summer of catnaps and roaming the forests. We named him "Francis" and he stayed for several days taking catnaps, walking around our trailers and sniffing the smells of bacon and eggs, hamburgers and... humans. Late one afternoon a second bear intruded and here is their story as told by Francis (if he could talk).

"After a decade-long addiction to crack cocaine and alcohol, Charlie Engle hit rock bottom after a near-fatal six-day binge ended in a hail of bullets. Then he found running, and it has helped keep him sober, focused and alive. He began to take on the most extreme endurance races, such as the 155-mile Gobi March, and developed a reputation as an inspirational speaker. However, after he made the documentary Running the Sahara, narrated by Matt Damon, which followed him on a 4500-mile crossing of the desert and helped raise $6 million, he was sent to prison after failing to complete his mortgage application properly. It was while he was in jail that he became known as 'The Running Man' as he pounded the prison yard, and soon his fellow inmates were joining him, finding new hope through running. Now, in his brilliantly written and powerful account, Engle tells the story of his life and how running has brought him so much pleasure and peace. Like such classics as Born to Runor Running with the Kenyans, this is a book that anyone who has ever found solace in the freedom of running will enjoy"--Google Books.

Homeless kids of all ages exist in every community, but few realize this. Because of their invisibility, the needs of these kids, a population of over 3 million, go largely unmet. The Charlie Book not only offers a range of ways ordinary compassionate people can help in their own communities, but it also gives background information to help understand the scope of this hidden problem. Additionally, it directs readers to existing resources.Schools districts must have a trained homeless liaison to identify and assist students experiencing homelessness. The federal McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Act, reauthorized in December 2015 as part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), specifies duties and responsibilities of these liaisons. One is to develop local resources to help the students succeed in school. "Charlie," for whom the book is named, was instrumental in passage of homeless children and youth's educational rights. Society's choice in dealing with widespread angst about income inequality, racial strife, domestic and international violence, and personal challenges could angrily tumble into an apathetic stupor or embrace compassion that spurs action. The Charlie Book: 60 Ways to Help Homeless Kids grew out of the desire to create a "compassion epidemic" that would spill out across the country to ease the suffering of millions of homeless children and youth. It was created and reviewed by people with years of experience working with homeless kids.This concise handbook will provide the know-how for adults and kids, civic organizations and faith communities, scout troops and neighborhood associations to make a viable difference in their local communities for the mostly invisible families and youth experiencing a variety of shapes of homelessness.Those involved in this book believe that good people doing good things will mitigate the apathy and anxiety that grabs headlines and shatters lives. The Charlie Book offers a simple, doable approach to providing tangible help to young people striving to get an education despite the formidable challenges they face. The antidote to apathy is action. The Charlie Book, offers simple activities that can simply change lives for the better.

Have you ever had a hard time expressing your feelings and thoughts into words that truly convey your emotions, intentions, and love? Albert Einstein once said, "I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterward." Charlie Hungloe and Samantha "Sam" Sterling, who are two detectives that don't usually carry guns but instead use martial arts to fight and are the main characters in Charlie Hungloe's Greatest Challenge, have similar challenges. Charlie and Sam have at times had trouble expressing through their actions and with words what they really intend to say but rarely do. So why don't Charlie and Sam just say what they mean? Well, maybe they are! Growing relationships are built on more than just faith, trust, patience, physical needs, etc. Relationships often occur when different people are together with the same mind-set but different audio frequencies. When this happens, life can become chaotic, complex, frustrating, and often very, very comical! Like when Charlie gives Sam some instructions, and Sam follows the instructions but on a different thought frequency. Charlie Hungloe's Greatest Challenge is about a relationship that is sometimes set on two different frequencies. Charlie and Sam show us how to overcome the challenge. To overcome this challenge, you will read and feel Charlie's and Sam's heartbeating excitement, fears, love, and faith in each other. Also, how Charlie uses laughter and comedy to both hide and communicate his feelings for Sam. First Corinthians 13:1 says, "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." Angels do exist! And maybe, just maybe, sometimes they are sitting right beside you! Let's find out!
