Charles Millson

Charles Millson is a lifelong southerner. He is a teacher, minister, and advocate in a small town in middle Tennessee. After teaching in the Memphis, Tennessee area for over a decade, Millson turned his attention and talents to ministry in Romania and Costa Rica. His first book, Pastures of Tender Grass, looked at the lives of King David and King Solomon through the eyes of Mephibosheth, the son of David's friend, Jonathan. His second book is Runaway: A Story of Hagar, in which Millson recreates the culture and events of the life of this minor but important Biblical character. He is also the author of More Than Rubies, a Bible workbook that looks at the lessons we can learn from the lives of some of the lesser-known women of the Hebrew Scriptures. He has published a book of poetry, has seen his poetry published in The Old Hickory Review, and has been a contributor to People’s World. His sports writing has been featured on such blogs as Rivals.com, where he was a managing editor, and on Bleacher Report. His ministry has taken him to work in the inner-city with low income housing, and currently he heads a nonprofit food bank in his small town. In addition, Millson is a minister at a church in Westmoreland, Tennessee. He is the father of one son, Shawn, and a sweet English Bulldog named CeeCee.
