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 pages, 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. XX

“Carlos’s passion for life comes through in this book, inspiring us to not only live in the moment but create the moments that make life worth living.”
“When we look back on our lives, we won’t remember watching television or playing video games. We will remember the moments where some kind of love or acceptance was exchanged. The premise of Carlos’s book is those moments don’t have to be accidental. We can make them happen. I’m grateful he’s showing us how.”
“Over the past several years, I’ve watched Carlos and his family live out the message of this book and I’m honored to endorse it. They see life through a lens that inspires me to be attentive and willing to create marked moments in my life as well as the lives of those around me. Truly, it isn’t just a collection of great stories; it’s more than that. Moment Maker is a book that will change the way you capture life and share it with others, and it will no doubt inspire you to be constantly searching for opportunities to embrace the greatness that blooms in the ordinary. Grab this book with excitement, knowing that you’re about to enter into a place where moments will no longer be seen as fleeting, uncontrollable, and short-lived. Instead, they’re yours for the taking; better yet — they’re yours for the making. Isn’t it time you started?”
“Leaders are moment makers. And memory creators. My friend Carlos Whittaker is a leader who lives out what he believes, puts into practice the idea of cherishing each day, and has assembled a book that is a game changer. What are you waiting on? Seriously. Buy this book. Change your perspective on what it looks like to squeeze the life out of each day! I’ve worked together with Carlos the last six years on creating moments at Catalyst, and I’m incredibly pumped that finally “Los” has captured some of his own moments, memories, life stories, inspiration, and wisdom into a kick-butt and take-names, game-changing book that will give you fresh perspective on making the most of your own moments, and creating memories in your own life. Buy this book!”
“If you’re tired of slugging through the monotony of life and feeling like a spectator in your own story, then Moment Maker is determined to fix that. This book is a life-altering, direction changing, apathy-busting invitation to live our lives to the fullest. You can’t read it and not be changed. I loved it!”
“Carlos Whittaker is a gifted musician and communicator, and I love how his personality is translated in his writing. Moment Maker points out the importance of paying attention and seizing the opportunities God has placed in front of us to create memorable moments in our own lives and the lives of others.”
