Embracing Charlie Mindy Lynn

Embracing Charlie has been honored as an "Award-Winning Finalist in the Christian Inspirational category of the 2014 USA Best Book Awards"! Mindy desired, above all else, to simply embrace her son. Her instinctive yearning was to scoop him up and hold him close in the midst of his suffering, yet she was forced to wait out and fight against all that tied him down. All the while, she found herself humbled and sustained by the parallel way in which God embraced her.

Praise for Embracing Charlie. "All that really matters in a lifetime is fleshed out in this story of an amazing baby, an amazing family, and an amazing God. Embracing Charlie has moved me in ways difficult to explain. Your heart will be filled, renewed, blessed, humbled, and enriched. A glorious read that will take you to the heights and depths of parental love. In the end, you will not know if you are the parent or the child!"
-Pastor Constance S. Olson, retired clergy
