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. This Book change my life!!! 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. 0.044 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
