*connect Bible verses with real-life stories of finding and spreading hope,

How To Human
$18.00Add to cartA much-needed reminder about what it means to be truly human in a world where people feel increasingly disconnected from each other and from God, by the popular author of Enter Wild.
It sometimes feels like we’re all holding our breath-just waiting for the next outrage, tragedy, or stressor to knock us back again. Yes, a global pandemic forced us to be more physically isolated from one another. But beyond that, the connected disconnection of video meetings, masks, politicized hyper-awareness, tech addiction, content overload, and social unrest have all felt like a perfect storm eroding our relationships and even our ability to be human.
In How to Human, author and social media personality Carlos Whitaker leads us on a three-part journey, to be, see, and free, that we can pursue in order to all live together as the best versions of ourselves. This fresh vision to reclaim our love and joy leads us to a collective breath of air as we exchange division for real relationship. We can live up to our full potential. We can learn to trust and care for one another. We can see the humanity in those different from ourselves. We can navigate hard times with grit, kindness, and a good joke or two. In this book Carlos shows us how to move from me to we to everybody. Isn’t it time we embrace the life-changing, hope-filled promise of being fully human?

Kill The Spider
$17.99Add to cartAre you tired of trying to live for Christ-only to fail time and time again with the same old behaviors? Do you pray for guidance, ask for deliverance, and vow to do better, yet fail to progress?
As an author, speaker, pastor, and blogger at Ragamuffin Soul, Carlos has lived much of his spiritual life in the spotlight. But, like any Christian, his faith story has its ups and downs. He spent decades trying to figure out how to be a “better person.” Time and time again, he strived for holiness only to get caught in the web of destructive habits, behaviors, and thought patterns.
But, the buck stops here. Or, rather, the spider is killed here.
In Kill the Spider, Carlos shares personal material ranging from hilarious, self-deprecating stories to passion-filled wisdom-to show others it’s not enough to try and “stop sinning.” He teaches that knocking out deep-rooted habits and issues comes by treating the issue, not just the symptoms.
With transparency, humor, and vulnerable stories, Carlos offers a breath of fresh air to any believer looking to finally step into the freedom in Christ. So, sit down. Open the book. And grab a shoe. We’re going on a spider hunt.

Moment Maker : You Can Live Your Life Or It Will Live You
$18.99Add to cartAn intentional life, a life lived deliberately, a life with purpose.
At the end of our days, all of these are things we would like to hear someone say about how we lived our lives. But they don’t happen by accident. A life rich with meaning doesn’t simply fall into your lap.
For Carlos Whittaker, renowned blogger, musician and worship leader, husband and dad, living life deliberately is a way of life. Making moments that are significant, memorable, or impactful are a part of how he navigates each day. Carlos is currently blowing up the blogosphere with people tuning in by the hundreds of thousands to share in these moments with him.
In Moment Maker, Carlos explains his methodology for living intentionally and for working at making moments in his life that touch the lives of others, whether that be his family, his friends, his colleagues, or total strangers.
Carlos isn’t asking anyone to make a big investment in time, energy, or money. He is simply uncovering the investment of attention. You don’t have to buy tickets to special events or orchestrate elaborate surprises. You just have to be aware — of your surroundings, the people you encounter, the things that interest those important to you, the opportunities that present themselves — and be prepared to seize those moments and see lives changed.
