This collection of non-fiction short stories is about my unique life experiences, challenges and praises. Inspiration for the Heart is written to inspire, encourage, give hope…and you will see God’s hand woven into each story. At the end of each one, I’ve provided a brief summary of the lesson I learned from that life event, along with the address of a correlating Bible verse. I like relating to people by verbally espousing stories. The purpose may be to parallel a point, give an idea to ponder or simply bring a smile and laugh to them. Hopefully, my communication is a breath of fresh air, and not a pounding drum of baloney. I thank my mother for encouraging me to write down these true narratives. My hope is that you will enjoy the time spent in reading them. Charles Castle
