Charles Benjamin Steele

As you can see, I have written several books over the many years I have lived.

My books are a bit different, just like their author, but they are especially unique for recording my conversations with God throughout my darkest times and my celebrations.

My prose and poetry is unique, so don't look for technical correctness. I grew up around Iambic Pentameter going to school in the state where the Iowa Poetry Workshop resides, so I am well aware of technical poetry, including Haiku and any other variation. I write verses that people can understand, enjoy and relate to.

This life has been both treacherous and fantastic. I have been resuscitated from death on 4 separate occassions. During a coma in 1967 I carried on a lively discussion with my Guardian Angel without uttering a word. That was my Junior year in High School.

My brother tells me that he saw an angel standing at the foot of my bed when we were children. He assured my brother that I was going to be all right. My brother waited until I was over 60 years old before he told me this.

I have had journeys to Heaven and to Hell, and what most would call near-death experiences. But let me tell you, if you add all of my out-of-body experiences, journeys and heavenly enlightenments, you get an experience that one can just not explain in human terms.

I write under both my given name of Steven Brown and my Nom de Plume of Charles Benjamin Steele, which is an achronym for my childrens' names, my name and Christ.

Within these books are the answers to the questions that I have asked of God. He alone has the answers concerning that which He has created. Anything else is merely mortal speculation and of little or no interest to me.

Please enjoy,

Steven C. Brown
