About the Author
C. Angela's heart bursts with love and adoration for God and has completely surrendered herself to His will, His way, and His purpose for her life. Completely Led Book Ministry began after she completed four days of fasting and praying to God for specific answers about matters pertaining to her broken heart. God did not answer her the way she expected. Instead, His Spirit impressed her to "Get up off your knees, go get your computer, and start typing!" She obeyed. Hours of what she thought was free writing passed by and she realized that she had been writing about her life in her first book titled I Am Completely Led. She reflected on God's leading and miraculous interventions in her life and remembered conversations verbatim with individuals from many years before. God was reminding her that He is God and that He had been with her every step of the way.
​
C. Angela holds a doctorate in Education and has been an educator and a school administrator. She is a devoted prayer intercessor, speaker, and musician. She is happily married to the love of her life, Dr. J. David Haynes, whom she describes as "a very fine gentleman who was raised by a gentleman. A truly excellent man." They are proud parents of a beautiful daughter, Giavanna.
