Like a River [electronic resource] : Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward after Loss and Heartache. Granger Smith.

Smith, Granger. (Author). Smith, Granger. (Added Author).

Summary:

Read by the author with an audiobook-exclusive conversation between Granger and his wife, Amber! Like a River, a triumphant story of new life birthed out of tragedy, will teach readers how to face their failures, confront their pain, and connect with God—the true source of life. On June 4th, 2019, country music singer Granger Smith was enjoying a final evening with his kids before heading to Nashville for the CMT Music Awards and his next tour. While helping his daughter London with her gymnastics, his youngest son fell into their pool. Granger did everything he could to get to him, but he was too late. River drowned, and Granger's world shattered. The days, weeks, and months that followed River's death sent Granger on a dark and painful journey. Every time he closed his eyes, he replayed the horrific event in his mind, and every time he opened his computer, he was bombarded by the critique and criticism of people who blamed him for the accident. Despite his best effort to get back on stage with a smile and song, it was all a façade. On the inside he was dying. Fortunately, that's not how his story ended. And now he is compelled to help people all around the world find strength, peace, and hope on the other side of tragedy. Like a River, life is full of twists and turns. Like a River, people pollute our world with their critique and criticism. Like a River, tragic events keep us dammed up. But like a river, we can find the courage to keep moving downstream. Rivers don't run on their own strength; they flow from their source. When we try to keep going on our own, we won't make it, but when we connect to the greater source, we will find the strength and the faith to keep living after loss. This triumphant story of new life birthed out of death will inspire every reader to live Like a River. Additional water safety resources, discussion questions, and photo insert are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
