Real Freedom
This book should be required reading for every teen, young adult and especially every couple! It encouraged, inspired and challenged me! I am a better person for having known Charlotte and for having read Real Freedom. Read, and apply, each of the seven principles in this book to walk in Real Freedom! I have the highest respect, and love for Donny and the entire Ingram family."

My friend, Donny Ingram has penned a heartfelt tribute that not only honors his beloved wife now with the Lord but touches on the heartbeat of his Heavenly Father. "Real Freedom" encourages all about the liberty we find when honoring God and it is crystal clear that true freedom is following the precepts of the Bible. We all do well to follow the sandals of our Savior. Our culture for far too long has worshipped false gods on the altar of "success" only to learn at the end of their life that they leaned the ladder against the wrong wall. Many have appeared to have succeeded professionally yet failed personally.
This book is packed with time tested truth that will not only help one live well but finish well. You cannot leave a legacy if you failed to live well and may our only ambition be to love God, love others, lead well and leave the world better than we found it. Donny's beautiful bride lived well and finished extremely well, and we would all do well to do the same. Buy one book for yourself and three others to give away because this book in your hands will be a game changer for some and a life saver for others."

What a wonderful read! This book is such a beautiful testimony about a Godly woman who truly followed the scripture according to Mathew 6:33 in the King James version (KJV): “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Charlotte A. Ingram surely sought the kingdom of God and His righteousness everyday of her adult life and in turn, God blessed her beyond measure with all good things and allowed her to leave behind an incredible legacy of joy, freedom and love, now being lived by those who were closest to her.
In the very short period of time that my life’s path briefly crossed with the Ingram family decades ago, I can clearly remember how they provided to all families, a template for righteous and successful living. Yes, they are certainly human like the rest of us, face everyday life struggles and uncertainties, but Charlotte was that prayer warrior that clearly had a direct and solid lifeline to God which I believe had a tremendous and positive impact on her entire family and anyone that knew her.
Although the years separated us and our lives took totally different paths, reading the short life-stories of each family member brought vividly back to me those special and fond memories I have of the Ingram family. They are living proof and indeed a testimony of what happens when one dedicates one’s family to God and raises them in the admonition of the Lord. I am reminded of the scripture in Proverbs 22:6, which states: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it” KJV. Clearly, Charlotte’s ministry is alive and well, bearing much fruit, through the lives of her family and those she touched.
