Publisher's summary

Before you die,
Live the life
You were born
To live.

When you come to the end of your days, you will not measure your life based on success and failures. All of those will eventually blur together into a single memory called "life".

What will give you solace is a life with nothing left undone. One that's been lived with relentless ambition, a heart on fire, and with no regrets.

On the other hand, what will haunt you until your final breath is who you could have been but never became and what you could have done but never did.

The Last Arrow is your road map to a life that defies odds and alters destinies. Discover the attributes of those who break the gravitational pull of mediocrity as cultural pioneer and thought leader Erwin McManus examines the characteristics of individuals who risked everything for a life they could only imagine. Imagine living the life you were convinced was only a dream.

We all begin this life with a quiver full of arrows.

Now the choice is yours. Will you cling to your arrows or risk them all, opting to live until you have nothing left to give?

Time is short. Pick up The Last Arrow and begin the greatest quest of your life.

Critic reviews

"I have never interacted with Erwin where he did not move me and capture my heart. His call in this book is one more example. He wakes us up where we need it, and pushes us past lack of clarity and through the unavoidable fear of truly spending our lives well. Thanks once again, my friend!" (Dr. Henry Cloud, psychologist and author)

Word!

Encouragement for those who aren't afraid to go for God's best! If you have a tugging on your heart because you know you are destined for the kind of greatness only God can give you then this book is for you. It all comes down to glorifying Him.

last arrow

I met Erwin McManus at a conference in Ohio briefly through a meet an greet. I am not much of a reader (until recently) so I had him sign the wooden arrow that they gave us. I am glad I did because after listening to "the last arrow" as I travel about 45 minutes to and from work, where I work at a Christian Residential facility, it symbolizes much more than I initially though it would as it hangs in my office it is now a daily reminder to keep striking!

Excellent

This is a challenging & in-your-face book. This directly confronts our society’s “choose your battles” attitude. If I only choose to fight those battles I think I can win, then I limit God’s hand in my life & commit myself to a life of mediocrity. God wants us to live an extraordinary life. What will we choose?

Powerful and inspiring allegory for servant leaders

Deeply moving book with a powerfully inspirational message to servant leaders to not hold back their talents from the world. Secular examples from his incredible life woven with stories from scripture bring meaningful emphasis to those of us who may struggling to maintain our purpose driven lives in what may seem like a hostile and cold world. Personally found this one of the most motivational books I have listened to for someone who has at times grown weary in his efforts to good (effect positive change).
Awesome book!!!
