Author Biography

Rev. Joaquin R. Larriba was born in Prescott, AZ, on July 21 1967. His early life was tumultuous and he found himself bitterly embroiled with insecurities. Determined to show the world that he was capable of brave things he set his sights on the prestigious 82nd Airborne Division, but his demons followed close behind. Loss and relational failures sent him spiraling into the murky waters of alcohol and drug addictions. Yes indeed, the river of wreckage that was his life was wide and deep, meandering beneath one burned bridge after another. It seemed to him that he would never make it, that is, until a vow set him on a collision course with The Living God. There in prison, destitute and alone, he cried out in earnest. . . "Please God, I can't take this anymore, I surrender, do whatever it takes to change me!" Those words would seal his destiny as God began the process for healing and restoration. Released from prison in 2007 with a fresh start, he has dedicated his life to the One who came into that prison cell and rescued him, Jesus Christ. Reverend Larriba now serves as the Associate Pastor at Christian Fellowship Assembly of God in Prescott, AZ. "Remember the Prisoners" is his first book and true life account of his life and that rescue. His message to you, is, "There is hope for the prisoner!" The Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
