Author Mike Wheeler's New Audiobook, "Charlie," Presents Listeners with a New, Modern Parable of Faith and Resilience Inspired by the Biblical Story of Job

Chelsea, AL, July 18, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Mike Wheeler has completed his new audiobook, “Charlie”: a poignant tale inspired by the Biblical narrative of Job that follows a Kansas rancher in the early 21st century who grows closer with God after a series of devastating events leaves him and his wife struggling.

“Charlie tells the story of a man and his family who live on a Kansas Ranch in the early 21st century,” writes Wheeler. “His story parallels the Biblical story of a man named ‘Job,’ who probably lived more than 4,000 years ago and endured a period of great adversity followed by a struggle that led him to greater intimacy with God.

“Charlie and Claire Christian were faithful Christians whose lives were turned upside down by a series of events that took the lives of their children, their property and livestock, their ranch workers, and an assault on their health.

“Like Job, Charlie went through a series of conversations that led them into a closer and more intimate relationship with God.”
