Charles H. Castle’s Where are the Instructions?, as the title suggests, is a heart-warming and inspiring collection of stories drawn from everyday life. Colorful and endearing, Castle’s work keeps us mindful about how important it is to remain grounded in the order of first things: love, belief, faith, and hope. These principles, so firmly rooted in his work, evoke a timelessness that is sure to delight readers while bringing them ongoing encouragement. What Castle shares with us is delightful while it is serious, nostalgic, realistic, and forward looking. He may remind us that the world is sometimes a dark and lonely place, burdened by loss and disappointment. However, in the midst of it all the sun rises and light permeates the valleys through which we all walk.
