About this ebook

Experience Rich Mullins's Legacy of Joy and Real Compassion

Beloved contemporary Christian musician Rich Mullins lived his life with abandon for God, leaving the spotlight to teach music among a Navajo community. An accident cut his life short in 1997, but his songs and ragamuffin spirit continue to teach many.

In honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Rich's homegoing, this edition of Rich Mullins: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven delivers an intimate look at the experiences that sparked praise hits and the values behind his Christ-like candor. James Bryan Smith captures just what Rich wished for when he said, "I hope I would leave a legacy of joy—a legacy of real compassion."

See the layers of his story through reflections from friends and family, an afterword by Rich's brother David Mullins, and Smith's own bond with him. And in remembrance, be inspired to enjoy God's world as Rich did.

A must read: This is a newly released edition of a book that was previously released back in 2000 after the sudden passing of Rich Mullins back in 1997. As someone who grew up listening to music by Rich Mullins, I found it fascinating and encouraging to read more about his life. I really appreciated that this is more than your average biographical account, but rather James Bryan Smith presents it in such a way that it all points back to Jesus. This not only makes the subtitle "An Arrow Pointing to Heaven" apt, but is totally something that I think Rich would have approved of as that appears to be how he tried to live his life. What an inspiration to us all! I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.
