Are 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.

I ended 2017 and began 2018 with this book. Great read.

January 1, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Last night many people were waiting until midnight to ring in the new year. I was devouring this book like a camel to water and I finished it the first day of the new year. This is how I ended 2017 and began 2018.

I have followed Carlos Whittaker loosely many years, only kind of kept up via Instagram etc. I did not want to read his book (heck I HATE spiders and he put the word in the title!!) and we have some differing opinions on certain things, but on a whole enjoyed past messages. As I was searching Amazon for books to read, the Lord kept bringing this book to mind. I actually could not remember the title, only that it has the word "spider" in it. (Carlos, do you know what scary pictures come up when you search "spiders" on Amazon!! So you have to know the Lord was leading me to this book). Remember I said I had in the past already decided I did not want to read it; I thought it would be another book from an "Internet" Pastor/Musician that tells us how great his life is and how you can be great too.

I was wrong. Soo wrong....

This book grabbed me and I could not put it down. I am still processing and unpacking things mentally/spiritually. I personally would never go to an OnSite 7-day retreat, but I am thankful for Los sharing his experience and journey. My word for 2018 is Wisdom and maybe this is why it was a great book to ring in the new year, may the Lord lead me in wisdom as I clear the cobwebs to find the spiders.

Carlos talks about cleaning cobwebs in our life, "Cobwebs aren't necessarily major moral failings or criminal activity, just something that keeps you in turmoil and distanced from God." But that is not enough, you need to do some cobweb cleaning so you can find the spider to kill. You have to kill the spider, the producer of all the cobwebs.

Carlos explanation on anxiety and depression was spot on for me. He put into words what I could never articulate. I want to copy that paragraph and say ---> this...this puts into words what depression and anxiety feel like for me when I am going through it.

A favorite quote: "Trials reveal foundations; they aren't the ideal time to build them."

This was a great book to read at the beginning of 2018.

THIS BOOK IS A GAME CHANGER... it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!

October 21, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

To say that this book is incredible would be the understatement of a lifetime. I was honored to be on the launch team and privileged to be able to read a pre-released copy of this book. Carlos shares his story with brutal honesty and challenges the reader to look into their own lives and be brutally honest with themselves and God. I was so excited to get my "hard copy" on launch day. I had already started a three ring binder notebook to put journal thoughts as I was going to start reading through it again right away. All these days later I regret to say I haven't cracked it open. I'm stuck right now in a huge cobweb full of spiders and I'm flailing around trying to get out. What I remember from my first read through gives me hope that I will get out of this web and be capable of diving back into it full force and KILL THOSE SPIDERS. In the meantime, I'm taking it day by day. Some days are harder than others and honestly the Bible and THIS BOOK by Carlos Whitaker are what give me hope. The center of both books is Jesus. Thank you Carlos for your raw honesty, for opening up your heart and your life and your for battles to the world. Your book gives hope for the rest of us to be able to kill those spiders in our lives and the Bible gives hope that someday there will be no more spiders, no more crying, mourning, pain... the former spiders will have PASSED AWAY. They will once and for all finally ALL be dead. In the meantime we will keep battling. Thank you for giving us the tools to do so.

*Edit - I just want to add that as I gave a copy of Kill the Spider to a friend today I told her that if I had to get rid of every book I own (aside from the Bible) and only keep ONE book Kill the Spider would be the ONE book I would keep!

Then I feel guilty because I wasted money on another book and really

January 1, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I'm going to be honest - usually these Christian "self-help" style books bore me and I stop reading. Then I feel guilty because I wasted money on another book and really, why can't I just power through it and read these books to better myself like other people? BUT NOT THIS BOOK.

First of all, Carlos is a rad storyteller. Thank God because otherwise this book would have joined the heaps of others in the pile of "good intentions" that never got applied. So, he's got that going since it keeps you engaged. You actually DON'T want to put the book down. What?!

But then, it gets better. See, within the stories... are LEGIT challenges. I feel like this book is your own version of therapy to work through. For me, I read it all the way through, highlighted on my Kindle, and now I'll go back and work through the highlights and journal through it. I've NEVER DONE THAT. But he's written it in such a way it feels easy to approach it and work through some big things in your own life.

And lastly, that subject matter. "Killing the Spider" applies to EVERY SINGLE PERSON, whether you're Christian or not. I honestly feel like this book is good for anyone. We all have spiders that are trying to ruin us and we need to stop treating our symptoms and actually killing the cause. We've got to do this for ourselves. We don't HAVE to be our own worst enemies.

I can't recommend this book enough. I'm already in the works of buying it for others who I think could also benefit from reading this.
