“I believe no one wants to go through a life like this, but I did.” --Israel Vela
One day the life of author Israel Vela started to flash before his eyes. Even though his parents struggled throughout most of his childhood, he treasured every moment they experienced. He loved his family beyond words. “Life by Candle” is the story that happened to Israel Vela and his family. Israel’s father served in the US Air Force, Army, and National Guard. Every time his father returned to his family, he worked while he was at home. The family moved around Texas a great deal. It always depended on where he served. He tried his best to keep his family together and hide the truth of their struggles.
As a boy throughout the time of his family’s ordeal, Israel was never told the truth about his father and their lifestyle. All he understood was that they experienced very hard times. He never wanted to think about those things, but those things did happen, along with a bunch of other things. Israel Vela himself is not perfect, just someone who has been through a great deal. He flew out of a car, saw a UFO, got beaten up, had an out-of-body experience, was run over by a car, survived cancer, and suffered a heart attack, yet he is still here and that is all that matters. Despite it all, Israel Vela still has faith in Jesus Christ.
