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."

"Writing a book about someone who meant so much to so many is a daunting task but one that James Bryan Smith has accomplished with a great deal of passion and wisdom. This book is a gift to all of us who miss having Rich in this world, and it will be a treasure to those who are just discovering who he was."
Andrew Peterson, recording artist and author of The God of the Garden
"Rich Mullins: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven gives us an intimate and honest picture of Rich, but even more importantly, the book gives us a passionate, powerful picture of the God Rich loved. Read with caution: This is a dangerously challenging work about a life lived in pursuit of God's own heart. You will not make it to the final chapter unchanged."
Carolyn Arends, recording artist and director of education for Renovaré
"In Rich Mullins: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven, James Bryan Smith writes fondly of his friend Richard Mullins. Even more, he shares the spirit of devotion that characterized Rich's life. Even more still, he points us to that great reservoir of devotion that has sustained followers of Jesus Christ throughout the centuries."
