Years later Dr. Nokes would tell my brother Davy that my delivery still disturbed his sleep. Our youngest is building a canoe — I’m there to cut the tricky angles. Throughout the book, Reuben is preoccupied with his own breathing, and the act of breathing functions in this story as a metaphor for life itself. We believe that God is the loving Father of all kids. A liver that poisons the blood.” Dr. Nokes was a kindly and reasonable man. As the Vietnamese congregation gathered to worship, they sang the same song every Sunday to begin their worship, “It Is Well with My Soul.” I didn’t need the words in English as I had memorized them as a boy. Dr. Hawn is professor of sacred music at Perkins School of Theology, SMU. Why did his wife leave him, all those years ago? The family’s name, Land, even suggests this. I believe I was preserved, through those twelve airless minutes, in order to be a witness, and as a witness, let me say that a miracle is no cute thing but more like the swing of a sword. The truth is, I didn’t think much on this until a dozen years later–beyond, of course, savoring the fact that I’d begun life in a dangerous and thus romantic manner. Kids have a dead-on instinct for what makes a good story (outlaws on horseback, hidden treasure, secret caves, dynamite) and Robin, who would rather praise than criticize, was always brave enough to recognize when I’d gotten off track or written needless pages. Raised on tales of cowboys and pirates, eleven-year-old Reuben Land has little doubt that miracles happen all around us, and that it’s up to us to “make of it what we will.” Reuben was born with no air in his lungs, and it was only when his father, Jeremiah, picked him up and commanded him to breathe that his lungs filled. Of course we’d have given anything for a gigantic, lung-clearing miracle, but since it didn’t happen the only course was to treat him medically the best we could, and try to comprehend his struggle. “[Peace Like a River is] not so much an on-the-road story as one celebrating family and faith.” –Ft. “This is a stunning debut novel, one that sneaks up on you like a whisper and warms you like a quilt in a North Dakota winter, a novel about faith, miracles and family that is, ultimately, miraculous.” –Publishers Weekly (starred review), “Written in prose tart and crisp as a Minnesota Autumn, Peace Like A River is seductive and deliciously American and there are passages so wondrous and wise you’ll want to claw yourself with pleasure.” –Frank McCourt, “Once you begin Leif Enger’s Peace Like A River, you are carried away by the elemental surge of its story, the sheer eagerness to see what happens to the engrossing characters who, though contemporary exist far from the intrusions of the media in the timeless arena of family love and anguish over a lost member. Peace Like a River reminds a reader of Kent Haruf’s Plainsong or even Norman MacLean’s A River Runs Through It.It’s got that pure American loss of innocence theme, that belief in and fascination with miracles, that insistence on the goodness of men outside of the law.”—Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review Praise “You don’t see novels like this one very often. It is well, it is well with my soul. Tired as my mother was, who knows when she would’ve noticed? Sheet music arranged for Piano/Vocal/Chords, and Hymn in F Major. 16. Please use our childrens ministry curriculum and Sunday School material for any purpose that brings honor to Jesus. We ended up publishing five books with Pocket and Simon & Schuster. Why or why not? Make of it what you will. Swede said another thing, too, and it rang in me like a bell: No miracle happens without a witness. But for me it never became chronic, and the good news is that our son just turned 14 and his asthma has diminished to the point where he rarely needs medicine. A: I’m a little anxious; when you’ve put so much work into a novel, and been backed so generously by your publisher, naturally you hope it doesn’t disappoint. 11. After the birth of daughter Grace in 1881, Spafford and his wife moved to Jerusalem out of a deep interest in the Holy Land. On a personal note, this was a hymn often sung on Sunday evenings in my congregation as I was growing up. Refrain It is well, (it is well), With my soul, (with my soul) It is well, it is well, with my soul. Here’s how it went. A: Back in the 80s my brother Lin, then at the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, wrote to me suggesting we have some fun and collaborate on a crime novel – he had a character in mind, an ex-major-league ballplayer living reclusively in the north woods. Read North Dakota Presents: An Evening with Leif Enger. Enger has crafted a moving story and placed it in the mouth of a refreshingly open and candid narrator.” –Rob Cline, Bookreporter How does the Land family contend with this raw, uncivilized, and sometimes brutal landscape? Swede may be literature’s most unforgettable little girl since Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird.”—Gail Pennington, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “If you like a ripping good story told in robust prose that gives you goose bumps, latch onto this book – more than a novel of miracles, it is truly a miraculous novel.” –Valerie Ryan, The Seattle Times, “Enger has written a novel that’s boldly romantic and unabashedly appealing, a collage of legends from sources sacred and profane–from the Old Testament to the Old West, from the Gospels to police dramas. Here is an author we can trust and who we are willing to follow anywhere”Enger strikes just the right balance of instinctive storytelling, narrative play and pretty prose”He’s the type of writer that other writers read, and die a little”Peace Like a River is a book that serves to remind us why we read fiction to begin with: to commune with a vividly, lovingly rendered world, to lose ourselves in story and language and beauty, to savor what we don’t want to end yet know must.” –Andrew Roe, The San Francisco Chronicle, “One of the most wondrous books I’ve read in recent years’If Peace is reminiscent of anything, it’s John Irving’s A Prayer of Owen Meany, another novel infused with transformative magic”What do I make of Peace Like a River?
