This Side of Heaven

Full of plans for his future, a young Charles Elliott looked forward to enrolling in college and pursuing a degree in psychology. Then a routine medical exam for discharge from the U.S. Air Force brought him news that shook him to the core. An inherited eye disease would ultimately lead to his total blindness. When God changed Charles’s direction by bringing him to a saving  knowledge of Jesus Christ and into ministry as a pastor, he began his first steps on a spiritual pilgrimage that would transform his life.

This Side of Heaven is a beautiful true story of Charles Elliott’s journey into both physical blindness and spiritual sight. It imparts lessons that will embolden Christians in their ministry no matter what thorns obstruct their spiritual path.
