Charlie Jones isn't only an insurance salesman. He is the author of nine books, including "Life Is Tremendous", and he is one of the world's top speakers in leadership and motivation. Charlie has a passion for helping others. He often invites children to his home to hand out gifts as if he were some sort of Santa.



As if that weren't enough, Charlie Jones is also somewhat of an expert on marriage. He believes the key to a healthy marriage is commitment, not love. A spouse needs someone who is willing to stick with it through the long haul even when the going gets tough. Someone who marries only for love is in for a rude awakening.

Charlie believes that it's who you've met and what you've read that will make the difference in who you are today versus who you'll be five years from now. We are the sum of our parts. We are what we know. We can only become what we've seen and been taught. That's why Charlie encourages people to seek out people and books that share the same passions they do.

So, what makes Charlie Jones a "Tremendous" Charlie Jones? It's a nickname that embarrasses him, actually. When someone buys a new car or has a new baby, the first word out of Charlie's mouth is, "Tremendous!" People started calling him Tremendous and the name stuck.

Charlie doesn't particularly like being called Tremendous, because it sounds like something you would call a football player or wrestler. He would rather be called something like "Learning Jones" or "Thankful Jones". He's a sincere person who loves learning and loves helping others. He wants nothing more than to pass on those passions to others.

Charlie Jones grew up in the 1930's, a time when everyone was poor. Although they didn't attend any religious services themselves, Charlie's parents always sent him and his siblings to church alone. It was through a dedicated Bible class teacher that Charlie's devout faith in God was born. In turn, Charlie shows his godly love to poor children by inviting them to is estate home, complete with hot dogs, popcorn, Christmas presents (year round) and an amusement park.

Charlie's love of God doesn't take away his respect for people who worship other religious icons. He's a very non-offensive person who never waters down his religious beliefs and expects others to hold true to theirs in his presence as well. Love is in the center of everyday life for Charlie Jones. Spreading love is what he does best.
