About the Book

The last place on earth young Charles Johnson wanted to go was Mississippi during the heat of the Civil Rights Movement."Me and the Lord had a talk all the way all those miles. 'Lord, I have seen those dogs eatin' those people up! I have seen them lock the doors, Lord.' When I got there I looked for black people to be hangin' from street lights!" With deep faith and firm conviction he followed the call of God on his life and journeyed straight into his greatest fears.This is the true story of Dr. Charles Johnson, an African American preacher who entered Mississippi in 1961 during the summer of the Freedom Rides. Fresh out of Bible School Johnson hesitantly followed his Call to pastor in Mississippi, a hotbed for race relations during the early 1960's. Unwittingly thrust into the heart of a national tragedy, the murder of three Civil Rights activists, he overcame fear and adversity to become a leader in the Civil Rights movement.

Review :
"Called to the Fire is a fast-paced and engaging biography that I simply could not put down. The heroic life of Reverend Charles Johnson will strengthen your faith, embolden your longings for biblical justice, and leave you awestruck by the divine power of forgiveness... prepare to be inspired." -- "Matt Litton, author of The Mockingbird Parables and Holy Nomad " "Called to the Fire is an inspiring story full of the grace of God and social responsibility." -- "Dr. John M. Perkins, author of Let Justice Roll Down " "Remarkable story-telling, theology, and biography." -- "Dr. Dan Boone, president of Trevecca Nazarene University" "This book grants heroic status to a deserving African American...The story draws upon a dichotomy of emotions (shame and honor, joy and sadness...) making this book difficult to put down. It can serve as an excellent reference for the historian or a quick introduction for the novice..." -- "Dr. Donald Cole, assistant to the Chancellor for Multi-Cultural Affairs, University of Mississippi"
