Erwin Raphael McManus

In The Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus, author, thought leader, and founder of MOSAIC in Los Angeles, pens a manifesto for human creativity and the beginning of a new renaissance. McManus not only calls us to reclaim our creative essence but reveals how we can craft our lives into a work of art. There are no shortcuts to quality, and McManus celebrates the spiritual process that can help us discover our true selves. McManus demonstrates that we all carry within us the essence of an artist. We all need to create, to be a part of a process that brings to the world something beautiful, good, and true, in order to allow our souls to come to life. It's not only the quality of the ingredients we use to build our lives that matter, but the care we bring to the process itself. Just like baking artisan bread, it's a process that's crafted over time. And God has something to say about how we craft our lives. With poignant, inspirational stories and insights from art, life, history, and scripture interspersed throughout, McManus walks readers through the process of crafting a life of beauty and wonder.

Save Nothing for the Next Life

The Last Arrow

"A groundbreaking manifesto on the countless ways Jesus of Nazareth transformed our world--and empowers us to live lives of courage, purpose, and grace today. From the bestselling author of The Last Arrow and The Way of the Warrior. In every realm of our existence--art, technology, mathematics--we are captivated by stories of genius. Geniuses violate the status quo, destabilize old ways of thinking, and ultimately disrupt history by making us see the world differently. We see this effect when we consider the canon of history's great geniuses, from Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs. But when we look for the genius who left the most lasting impact on human life--our search for truth; our desire to know who we are; our notion that happiness is about more than seeking to serve ourselves--we inevitably encounter Jesus. Despite having lived in obscurity for most his life, Jesus of Nazareth is undeniably one of the most influential people to have ever walked the face of the earth. In The Genius of Jesus, Erwin Raphael McManus asks: what would happen if we studied and emulated Jesus, not only through the lens of his divinity, but as a genius who showed us what it means to live fully human? Drawing on scripture, history, and stories from his own ministry, McManus dives into the nuances of Jesus's words and actions, showing how they can not only inspire us, but transform how we think about humility, freedom, and the purpose that makes our lives worth living. For Christians who want to better know and understand their faith, or for readers who want to create their most powerful future, The Genius of Jesus is a thought-provoking study of the most important person who ever lived"--

The Man Who Changed Everything

The Genius of Jesus

The author offers a vision of the church taking its rightful place as an unstoppable "force" created to do nothing less than change the world, and therefore, daring to cut itself free from atrophied practices and programs to flourish in creative and compelling worship. He offers a place where teaching the Word reaches out to the culture with sculpture, painting, dance, music, films and other unique expressions of love and faith.

Daring to Become the Church God Had in Mind

An Unstoppable Force

Two thousand years later the call to follow Christ has been repackaged to be smooth and trouble-free, filled with opportunity and promise but lacking risk, passion, and sacrifice. Is this really what Jesus died for? If He chose the way of the cross, where would He hesitate leading us? Is it possible that to follow Jesus is to choose the barbarian way? Jesus never made a pristine call to a proper or safe religion. Jesus beckons His followers to a path that is far from the easy road. It is a path filled with adventure, uncertainty, and unlimited possibilities?the only path that can fulfill the deepest longings and desires of your heart. This is the barbarian way: to give your heart to the only One who can make you fully alive. To love Him with simplicity and intensity. To unleash the untamed faith within. To be consumed by the presence of a passionate and compassionate God. To go where He sends you, no matter the cost.

Unleash the Untamed Faith Within

The Barbarian Way

Best-selling author, pastor, futurist, and cultural thought leader believes that to experience and establish peace, we must first confront the battles that rage within. McManus shows that encountering peace does not occur by accident, but rather by artful intention. Warrior is a call to decisiveness, self-examination, and the pursuit of spiritual wholeness. Through the ancient biblical practices of humility, focus, ownership, clarity, strength, and vulnerability, he guides readers to a deeper understanding of their inner workings and provides the guidance they need to establish peace and tranquility in their homes, neighborhoods, communities, and even the world! In the style of a battle-wizened teacher, McManus delivers wisdom, instills passion, and provides the sacred movements needed to become the warrior you were meant to be.

An Ancient Path to Inner Peace

The Way of the Warrior

Using powerful examples from his own life and ministry, McManus asserts that God crafts divine moments specific to every person. This book, formerly titled "Seizing Your Divine Moment," demonstrates the difference between living a life of purpose and living one of apathy and missed opportunity.

Mental toughness, mental clarity, and mental health all have one thing in common: The journey begins in your mind. In this radical guide, the award-winning author of The Last Arrow illuminates a surprising path toward personal fulfillment and optimal performance. “Erwin McManus is the most brilliant thinker I’ve ever met.”—fourteen-time bestselling author Jon Gordon Throughout his thirty years of work as a mindset expert and leadership coach, Erwin Raphael McManus has been obsessed with these questions: Why do some people succeed despite having all the odds stacked against them? How do others achieve the unthinkable, only to watch their lives slip away? Are there mental structures for failure and success? McManus has come to realize that too many of us have “near-life” experiences. We almost pursue our dreams. We almost make the decision that changes everything. We are always one choice away. If we want to live without regret, we need to make a mind shift—trading beliefs that limit our potential for ones that help us move toward optimal performance and pursue the success of being fully alive. We must move from a life of obligation to a life of intention. In Mind Shift, McManus brings together twelve mental frameworks that have helped some of the most accomplished people on earth create internal structures of success. Among them: • You have to choose between acceptance and uniqueness. If you are addicted to affirmation, you will become what others want you to be rather than who you were created to become. • You don’t need an audience. It’s what you do in private that makes you who you are. • Talent is a hallucinogen. It will make you believe that hard work and discipline are for everyone else. Sharing experiences from entrepreneurs, artists, professional athletes, and his own career, McManus shows us how to transform our thinking—and, in turn, transform our lives.

"La fortaleza mental, la claridad mental y la salud mental tienen una cosa en común: el viaje comienza en tu mente”. En esta guía radical, el galardonado autor de La última flecha ilumina un camino sorprendente hacia la realización personal y el rendimiento óptimo. McManus se ha dado cuenta de que muchos de nosotros tenemos experiencias “cercanas a la vida”. Casi realizamos nuestros sueños. Casi tomamos la decisión que lo cambia todo. Siempre estamos a una elección de distancia. Si queremos vivir sin remordimientos, debemos hacer un cambio mental: cambiar las creencias que limitan nuestro potencial por otras que nos ayuden a avanzar hacia un desempeño óptimo y perseguir el éxito de estar completamente vivos. Debemos pasar de una vida de obligación a una vida de intención. En “Genio”, McManus reúne doce marcos mentales que han ayudado a algunas de las personas más exitosas del mundo a crear estructuras internas de éxito. No necesitas una audiencia. Es lo que haces en privado lo que te hace ser quien eres. Compartiendo experiencias de empresarios, artistas, atletas profesionales y su propia carrera, McManus nos muestra cómo transformar nuestro pensamiento y, a su vez, transformar nuestras vidas. __________ "Mental toughness, mental clarity, and mental health have one thing in common: the journey begins in your mind.” In this radical guide, the award-winning author of The Last Arrow illuminates a surprising path to personal fulfillment and optimal performance.
