Person
After being ostracized by his mother for changing his church affiliation from Church of Christ to Baptist, author Charles Simpson undertook a serious review of the church in which he had spent fifty plus years in an effort to discover why his mother would condemn a loving son simply for changing church affiliation.
From the time he was a small child Charles had been a spiritual person. However, many statements, practices and traditions of the Church of Christ did not conform to his own spiritual beliefs. It was that spiritual conflict in his life, along with his mother's rejection, that caused him to undertake a six year long study that resulted in the writing of Inside the Churches of Christ. Enlightenment, not fame or fortune, was his motivation for writing this book.
