“You were made for The River . . .”
Gabriel Clarke is mysteriously drawn to The River, a ribbon of frothy white water carving its way through steep canyons high in the Colorado Rockies. The rushing waters beckon him to experience freedom and adventure.
But something holds him back—the memory of the terrible event he witnessed on The River when he was just five years old—something no child should ever see.
Chains of fear and resentment imprison Gabriel, keeping him from discovering the treasures of The River. He remains trapped, afraid to take hold of the life awaiting him.
When he returns to The River after years away, his heart knows he is finally home. His destiny is within reach. Claiming that destiny will be the hardest—and bravest—thing he has ever done.
First of all, I have to say I absolutely loved the presentation of this book. The pages looked worn and rugged and drew me in right away. As for the book itself, well it didn't disappoint. The story tells of Gabriel and how he cope's with the loss he's experienced. It does show true heartbreak and helps us reflect on our own lives in how we try to deal with things ourselves instead of letting God handle it.
This story is also about forgiveness and how Gabriel comes to terms with things of the past and learnsto let go and embark on his new way of life, kindof like how a sinner let's go and embraces God in the Christian walk.
I would reccomend this book as I think it's for a variety of people. If you are new in the Christian walk, it helps strengthen your Faith is God, if you're not currently in a walk with God, it can help you too.
