I'm Odd, Thank You God is not about being "different" for the sake of getting attention at any cost.  There's no merit, Dr. Shedd believes, in being strange just to be strange.  However, with his unusual and fascinating story-telling skill, he narrates tales out of his own life--from early childhood to his eighties--that wonderfully reveal how rewarding it can be to have the character and courage to be different for the sake of doing good...or for the sake of some just plain wholesome pleasure.  Though this is not a formal autobiography, it is the closest thing to the story of his life that Charlie has written.  I'm Odd, Thank You God is, page by page, typical Charlie Shedd reading entertainment that is chock full of life-lessons you will use the rest of your days.

"Yes, Charlie Shedd is odd.  His admission doesn't surprise me.  What surprises me is that at age 87 he still writes in that direct, simple, and insightful way.  Charlie continues to see God at work in life's small events.  Odd, perhaps, but definitely delightful reading."   -Cecil Murphey, Author of Gifted Hands and the Relentless God.

"I'm Odd, Thank You God is a beautiful blend of Charlie's downright wonderful humor and his genuine love and respect for our Lord."   -Joyce Landorf Heatherley, Author of Balcony People, Irregular People, and Special Words.

"For the millions of Charlie Shedd fans who were fortunate enough to read his many books or heard him preach, you can now meet him personally in this remarkable journey through his life.  Stories and inspirational messages are gathered for reading and re-reading...and you meet his special friends along the way."   -Margie Jenkins, Author of You Only Die Once.
   

How to Make People Really Feel Loved...   
And Other Life-Giving Observations

Hard Cover          $12.99        $11.04

Real love...we all want it, and we all have trouble giving it sometimes!  In How to Make People Really Feel Loved, Charlie Shedd offers wisdom for showing God's love to those who need it most:  Your spouse and children, other family and friends, co-workers and acquaintances, those who are hard to love, people who you would like to reach for Christ.

One of the most important ways to show love, says Charlie, is through prayer: "Real prayer is not something we do.  Real prayer is something the Lord does through us.  And the thing he does through us is to love with real love.  Love divine.  All loves excelling."

This collection of wisdom is topped off with seven positive affirmations--one for each day of the week--that you can incorporate into your own life.  Follow these affirmations and you will discover that it is possible to love the whole world--one person at a time.

 "This is the most important topic we all need to learn--Charlie Shedd is my hero and the best man to write  it!"    - Dr. Robert H. Schuller, Founding Pastor, Crystal Cathedral Ministries

"Charlie Shedd has long been a master at making profound truth come to life in grace-laden prose.  Though I've never met him, through his work I have felt mentored as a husband, a father, a writer, and a believer.  Here is his latest, and--no surprise--he scores again!"    - Jerry B. Jenkins, Author of Left Behind, Tribulation Force, Twelve Things I Want My Kids to Remember Forever

"Charlie Shedd tells stories that are so easy to enjoy and to understand, you hardly realize he's communicating the deep theology that is at the heart of the gospel.  I loved this little book."    - Tony Campolo, Professor of Sociology, Eastern College, St. Davids, PA

Brush of an Angel's Wing

 Hard Cover          $14.99        $12.74

It's happened to you before--narrow escapes, out-of-the-blue answers to problems, waves of sweet comfort, unexplained healing.  You may not have recognized the work of angels in your life, but Charlie Shedd wants to assure you that these magnificent and powerful supernatural beings act as God's messengers of light, love, healing, and grace.

Brush of an Angel's Wing vividly chronicles angelic "sightings."  Through stories from his own life, Charlie Shedd gives us a glimpse of what a brush with an angel looks and feels like, describing nick-of-time rescues, impossible feats of strength, supernatural perceptions, and divinely orchestrated situations--all of which can only be ascribed to the wisdom and service of angels.

"If the Bible and Billy Graham and Charlie Shedd agree that there are angels, we had better take them seriously!  This book will introduce you not only to angels but to the wonderful heart of Charlie Shedd and his encounter with the God who sends mysterious messengers to bless us and to help us."   - Bruce Larson, Crystal Cathedral Ministries

"Delightful!  Charlie Shedd writes the way he speaks and lives--joyfully, as if brushed by the wings of angels.  Charlie's enthusiasm is contagious.  He made me newly aware of our heavenly guardians which God created to help Him look after each of us."   - Marjorie Holmes, Author of Two from Galilee

"A down to earth book about the miraculous.  As if he were pulling up a chair in your own kitchen, Charlie Shedd recounts experiences of supernatural guidance, hairbreadth escapes and angelic protection.  Showing angels to be very normal and everpresent bearers of God's love, he brings the 'far out' as close as every day's need."    - Elizabeth Sherrill, Guideposts

"With his unique blend of good humor, personal experience, and a fresh look at Scripture, Charlie Shedd has given us a biblically honest, reassuring, and helpful perspective on God's angelic helpers."   - Luci Shaw, Author, God in the Dark and Horizons

"Charlie Shedd is a master storyteller.  He is at his best in this book, telling of the innocence of children and the mystery of angels.  My heart welled up with joy as I read of a God who shows his love and care through the ministry of these majestic, mysterious heavenly hosts.  Thoroughly Christian and absolutely delightful, this book is the easiest to read of all the angel books on the market.  It will capture the interest of adults and children alike, and point them to the God who created the angels."   - William and Mary Carlson Webber, Authors, A Rustle of Angels
