If you like Rich Mullins this book is for you. His music is uplifting and heard all over the world in many churches. This book lets us see the man behind the music. ( )

I loved this book. Rich Mullins is a bit of a hero to me. Not only because of the songs he wrote and sang but because of the way he lived his life. This book showed me more about his life and soul. ( )

I had hoped for an in depth look at Rich's life that would really tell what inspired his songs. In reality it is a book about the heart of Rich Mullins and it tells what really inspires his songs. ( )

An Arrow Pointing to Heaven, by James Bryan Smith, is a devotional biography of one of contemporary Christian music’s most influential singer/songwriters, Rich Mullins. He is best remembered for such classic songs as Awesome God, Sometimes/Step By Step, Creed, Brother’s Keeper, and That Where I Am, There You May Also Be. But there was much more to Rich Mullins than his music. In his book, Smith chronicles Rich’s deep love and devotion to God, his love and compassion for God’s children, and his desire to share the gospel with the world. An Arrow Pointing to Heaven shares how a man who could have easily lived a life of luxury and comfort, spurned the Hollywood lifestyle for the front seat of a pick-up traveling the highways and back roads of America and the anonymity of a Native American Reservation because people needed to know the love of Jesus Christ. This book will cause you to evaluate your own walk with the Savior as well as inspire you to get to know the God the Rich Mullins knew.

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0805421351, Hardcover)

During his life, Rich Mullins challenged the sensibilities of what it means to follow Jesus in today's world, and now in his death, he challenges all to build upon his legacy of joy, compassion, brokenness, unblinking honesty, and wonder of an Awesome God. Rich Mullins rose to fame and fortune in the music industry and then gave it all away to live in obscurity among Native Americans on a reservation in New Mexico, teaching children the joy of music and the hope of the gospel. Then his life, so full of promise, came to a tragic end in an auto accident. Author James Bryan Smith describes this book as a "devotional biography," giving readers an insight into Rich's life, but more importantly, allowing the readers to learn what was most important to Rich-urging people to draw near to God. The book focuses on the key themes of Rich's life including Family, Creation, Suffering, Simplicity, and the Love of God. This is the only biography authorized by the Mullins family.
