Product Description

Special Note: All of the Author's proceeds from this book have been designated for international orphan ministry.

Will the world change your children . . . or will your children change the world?

Time is short and lives are at stake. Right now, God is inviting your family to become part of a bigger story a vision that will engage your hearts to make a radical difference. One Million Arrows is an inspirational call to raise your kids to impact their culture, community, and world for Christ. If you want your kids to discover their purpose, if you want them to live with a passion for the Kingdom, if you want your family to go down in His-Story, accept the mission . . . and leave a mark for eternity.

People are talking about One Million Arrows...

"One Million Arrows is a great wake-up call for parents of this generation. If we want our children to take part in the powerful purpose and unique mission God has designed for them, we ve got to take responsibility for raising our kids as disciples of Christ." —Josh D. McDowell

"God has called His people to leave a legacy of godliness for the next generation. One Million Arrows picks up on that high calling and casts a God-sized vision for parents who long to see their children used by God in mighty ways...it will challenge you to raise your children as ambassadors for Christ rather than casualties of the culture-war." —Dennis Rainey, FamilyLife

"I encourage you and your family to pray and become involved [in the One Million Arrows vision] as God leads you." —Franklin Graham, Samaritan's Purse

"... One Million Arrows is a must read for parents who aspire to disciple their kids as world changers, recreating culture around them." —Ron Luce, Teen Mania Ministries

"As seen in One Million Arrows, God is doing something special in this generation He's stirring the hearts of our children, urging them to be ready and willing to become part of a mighty movement. Read this book, and embrace the power and phenomenal beauty of parenting your children for a special purpose..." —Thelma Wells, A Woman of God Ministries

"I speak both as a father and a missionary to orphans; One Million Arrows deals with the most important issue facing the evangelical world today, and that is making disciples of our own children instead of expecting someone else to do it while we pursue other things. There is no more urgent pursuit, no more essential need than raising our children to know and love Christ." —Clayton King, Crossroads Worldwide

"Julie Ferwerda's vision for One Million Arrows needs to be heard and caught by the Christian community of the 21st century. She rightly senses that we live in a time of great opportunity for the advance of God s Kingdom, but it will take...the wisdom to start young and focus on the children of this generation. Anyone passionately committed to advancing God s kingdom should read this." —David Guzik, Calvary Chapel Bible College, Germany

"One Million Arrows is not just a book . . . it's part of a vision that's already taking place on every continent in the lives of God s young people. If you're ready for you and your family to truly make a difference in this world, this book is for you." —Dr. Alvin Reid, SE Baptist Theological Seminary

"...Julie Ferwerda provides practical and exciting ideas about how to position our children above the selfish mediocrity that brands so many kids. I love it and want to live it and share it with my friends." —Dr. Steve Stephens, Marriage and Family Psychologist

5.0 out of 5 stars Wake up call for parents and especially "church parents" in America, August 31, 2009
By JBAT (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Million Arrows: Raising Your Children to Change the World (Paperback)
For years now the church in the US has continously developed ministry after ministry targeting our children and young people. Effect?? More and more are leaving the church after leaving the home. As a former student pastor I saw the effect first hand. The reason: I asked a roomful of "church kids" whose parents served in the church, how many of them had prayed with, had devotions with, or even spiritual conversation/guidance from their fathers, or parents in general within the LAST FEW MONTHS. The answer was 1 in 30! The answer is not more church programs to monopolize your families time. The answer is YOUR FAMILY! God, wife, children, are your top three priorities and One Million Arrows calls us all to stop dropping our children down our list of to dos behind work and "church." OMA calls us all as parents to take up this banner for our lives and run with it so that our children will not become casualties of a generation of unconcerned, lukewarm, Christian by name only young men and women, but truly Arrows for God!

5.0 out of 5 stars One Million Arrows, August 30, 2009
This review is from: One Million Arrows: Raising Your Children to Change the World (Paperback)
Julie, where were you when we were raising our children 25 years ago? Wish we would have had your book in our childraising arsenal back then! This book lays out such a wonderful Biblical model on raising children to be all God wants them to be. Pointing children to service in ways that are God honoring makes so much sense. It seems like the tendency is to hope our children learn these things thru osmosis (doesn't seem to work real well!). Julie lays out a principle in a manner that is very applicable to the 21st century and His children today. God asks us to teach them line upon line... Great book. Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars You really need to buy this book, September 1, 2009
By Clayton King (north carolina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: One Million Arrows: Raising Your Children to Change the World (Paperback)
As someone who has seen first hand the great need for parents to raise their children and the need for parents in countries whose streets are filled with orphans, this book speaks a clear word to everyone who cares about justice and mercy and the lives of children. Trust me, this book will change your perspective on pretty much EVERYTHING concerning the future of the world we live in, because the future is in our kids, and their kids, and the kids who have nobody to teach them right from wrong.
