The Last Arrow Book Review

Image
“The Last Arrow is about leaving nothing undone that was ours to do. It is squeezing the marrow out of life. This journey is about ensuring that when we come to the end of our lives, we will arrive at our final moments with no regret.” These are the words of Erwin McManus in the first chapter that reveal his reason for writing the book. This book is meant to challenge the reader to live the life God intends for them instead of living in mediocrity. This book is meant to challenge the reader to live a life without fear and regret. I recommend this book for anyone who knows they were made for more than simply surviving.  Erwin Raphael McManus  is an iconoclast, artist, and cultural thought leader known for his integration of creativity and spirituality. He is the founder of MOSAIC- a Los Angeles based community of faith recognized as one of America’s most influential and innovative churches. Erwin is the acclaimed author of  The Artisan Soul ,  Chasing Daylight ,  So

Spurgeon on the Christian Life: Alive in Christ book review

Image
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1893) was a Reformed Baptist pastor and author. This book is both a biography of Spurgeon and an explanation of his theology. The book does a good job of being theological without being hard to understand. Most of the book is quotes from Spurgeon’s sermons and other writings grouped into sections on his main beliefs. My only problem with this book is the section on Calvinism that tries to prove its point by basically ridiculing Arminianism with terrible arguments. But I guess I should’ve expected when I chose to read a book about a Calvinist’s theology. Overall it was a good book and explains how all theology should revolve around Christ. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
