Book review: The last arrow by Erwin McManus

By the time we get to the end of our days, we will not measure our life based on success and failures. These things will eventually fade away together into a single memory called “life.” The thing that will give us solace is a life with nothing left undone. A life that has been lived with relentless ambition, a heart on fire, and important also, with no regrets. On the other hand, what will haunt us until our final breath is who we could have been but never became and what we could have done but never did. The Last Arrow is a very powerful book that is a roadmap to a life that defies odds and alters destinies. Erwin McManus examines the characteristics of individuals who risked everything for a life they could only imagine. Just the thought of living the life we were convinced was only a dream. We begin this life with a quiver full of arrows. The choice we have to do is : will we cling to our arrows or risk them all, opting to live until we have nothing left to give? I received a copy of the book from Blogging for books for this review.
