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.Â
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. Â 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.
