This post is a book review of The Last Arrow, sharing my thoughts as they might be of benefit to you on this day.
This book reached me as books sometimes do, when we need a little nudge, or perhaps a push to "keep going". You too might be struggling with dedicating your time and efforts to your goals as they might seem almost impossible. It's difficult sometimes for us to see the end result when we don't seem to be moving ahead, not even one little step each day.
Erwin Raphael McManus speaks of those days. He reminds us that each action we take does lead us to new learning, which makes us a bit of a different person at the end of that day. In that moment, we might not be able to see the value of learning a small specific task. (Have you ever felt the joy with editing a photo, or creating a new recipe?) But somewhere down the road, that little piece of knowledge pushes us to our next new thing.
McManus' words are heavily reliant on a reader's familiarity of the Bible. But I do not suggest that you shy away from it if you are religiously biased in any manner. His encouraging and motivating words are concrete, you will not doubt his sincerity.
The words continuously convey the necessity of finding your people, your tribe. The people who will support you and you them, and the impact of our lives on each other. "..we are all connected and our choices are never only our own. They affect everyone around us and also have an effect on those yet to come."
