Carlos Aranda was born and raised in California. He was saved at the age of seven through the Royal Ranger program at his Assembly of God church. He walked with the Lord through his teen years, serving to build many churches on mission trips. Almost twenty years later he encountered a burning bush experience in which God gave instructions to write his book. He is married and has two beautiful children. He loves God, his family, his church, and his fellow man. That is why he writes. He sites one of his major influences as being Nick Vujicic. A man that has so much to keep him down and unable to do many things but has overcome so many obstacles and never letting them stop him from what he has set out to do.
