Moment Maker

You Can Live Your Life or It Will Live You

By: Carlos Whittaker

Narrated by: Carlos Whittaker

Life is made of moments. What are you doing to make the most of them? In Moment Maker, Carlos Whittaker shows you how to make each moment count, so those moments add up to a life rich with meaning, deeply satisfying, and full of purpose.

Every day we have an opportunity to make our lives meaningful, to make them matter. Yet, for so many of us, we let too much of life happen without taking notice.

For author, speaker, and podcaster Carlos Whittaker, living deliberately has become a way of life. Making moments that are significant, memorable, or impactful are a part of how he navigates each day, and it has forever changed the landscape of his story.

In Moment Maker, Carlos shares powerful stories and examples from ordinary life, as well as insights from scripture, that have formed his practical and meaningful game plan for living on purpose and with purpose. In these sections, he will guide you to:

• Increase awareness of your surroundings, the people you encounter, and the needs of others
• Recognize opportunities that present themselves and be encouraged to seize them
• Discover how to create, receive, and rescue key moments in everyday life
• Unlock the satisfaction of living to the full depth of your life's potential

The beauty of having a moment-making life is that it does not require a big investment of time, energy, or money. It simply requires a commitment to pay attention. All around you there are opportunities to meet a need, shift your focus, and begin healing. It is time to become a moment maker.

Amazing book that changed my life

I had the pleasure of meeting Carlos in San Jose, CA when he spoke at Echo Church. I only found him on social media a month before I decided I needed to meet this man. The whole drive over I was beyond nervous because of my anxiety. The second I saw him in the room I started crying because I knew how big of a step this was for me. When I heard him speak it was very transformative and healing. Afterwords he was in the lobby and I could not stop crying right before I met him. To be honest, I almost didn’t meet him. But I remembered what he taught me, to be a moment maker. I did not know if I’d ever have a chance to meet him again so I knew I had to push through the anxiety and overcome my fears. Boy was I happy that I had created that moment for myself. He was very understanding of my situation and I mentioned how much I love this book. This book is very helpful in terms of getting some answers to difficult situation in our lives. I cannot wait to read more of his books. Thank you Carlos for completing my moment.

going to read it again starting now! !Bravo Carlos

I truly enjoyed th us read great shares of his his journey and his Faith to make moments!

GREAT

This book is beautifully written. You will feel like friends well before the end, and are inspired, challenged, and awed along the way. I could not stop listening! The author is real, clever, humble, and gives such wisdom. Perfect, perfect read.

Don’t hesitate and read this book!

This is one of those books that change something in you: our habits, thinking, feelings, etc., and much more.

Carlos really pours out his heart, and you can see that while you read the book. This is my second time reading/listening to Moment Maker, and I have to say, it’s spoke to me differently every time.

From the moment you start reading it you find yourself getting to know the Whittaker family and all the amazing adventures they have. I don’t want to reveal too much, because I want you to read the book.

If you are like me, you need to get a notepad, pens and sticky notes ready. I love details, and Moment Maker has them. Loving the stories was one thing, but I decided to journal as I read the book, I do that all the time. You might as why? It’s simple: the stories, the teaching moments and the reflections you get learn from need to be documented, because if this book will start changing your life, you need to start writing down what you might want to remind yourself later.

This is 1 of 3 books Carlos has written (unless there are more books I am not aware of yet) that are easy to read and enjoy. I’ve met Carlos, and I can tell you that the parts he describes as being the Church to others, going the extra step and getting to know people are true.

So, get ready, grab a treat or coffee, and jump in. The time you will invest in yourself by reading this book is priceless.

Thanks bro I needed this!

I was going through a lot while I was reading this book and God repeatedly used it to speak to me. Keep up the good work.

I don't understand why people rated so high

I read half of this book and it's just a bunch of cliches. Just go on YouTube and watch some motivational videos so you can get the same value for free.
