Twisted Spiritual Poetry - Paperback

by Charles Bateman (Author)

I'm a 59-year-old man who grew up in a very religious home. My father was a minister for 20 years and took his own life in 1982. I'm the youngest of three brothers and my sister died in 2009. I never graduated in high school but I have a GED.

I made a modest living as a metal fabricator for 14 years and now I'm retired. I live with my brother Robert and his wife Denise Bateman whom I love dearly. I have three dogs Ruger, Coppertone, and Forest.

This is my third book, a sequel to my first and second books entitled "Twisted Spiritual Journey". And this is extraordinary because my life story is also included in this book. I've been an addict for many years and this has been the darkest years of my life. This book is about healing broken hearts, encouraging those who feel hopeless, and giving to the needy.

My journey of going back to the right path is really challenging but I was able to surpass them all by writing more poems and concentrating on good things about life. I hope you will enjoy and appreciate the life-changing poems I've written.
