    About this audiobook

    Some stories take generations to unfold.

    Gabriel Clarke has The River in his blood: The River that he loved as a child. The River that took his father, John. The River he feared, fled . . . and has come back to now.

    Jacob Fielding owes the last twenty years of his life to John Clarke-the stranger who drowned saving him and his brother from their own boyish recklessness. Since that day, Jacob's gratitude has extended to everyone around him . . . especially Gabriel, that brave man's son.

    But while the death of John Clarke became a powerful force for good in Jacob, it has been an unshakable source of darkness in another man. When gratitude and guilt meet at the River, two decades after that fateful day, Gabriel finds himself face-to-face with a stark choice for his own future: anger or forgiveness, hatred or love, death or life.

    So much more than an allegory, Into the Canyon will inspire you to love deeply, forgive extravagantly, and live large.

      More allegory than anything else. I believe this is the second in the series but I have not read the first. I found it as I searched through the unlimited titles on Scribd here. I would like to read the first

      I am not much into sappy stories, and bits of this book are awfully touchy-feely and sappy. But, I was pleasantly surprised that despite this being a Chrstian allegory written by a worship leader at Christ Fellowship Church, this was actually a story written to be inclusive of people who are not Christians at all.

      In this book Blake, a man whose wife and kids have left him, turns up at a Colorado whitewater rafting venue called The River, which sounds like many of the rafting companies along the Cache la Poudre River. He has been invited by a man named Gabriel, who has been a rafting guide for many years there. Gabriel offers Blake a week at the River to sort himself out a bit, and in the course of the rest of the book we hear Gabriel's story and Blake's, and get some philosophy and potentially good advice. For people who need this to be a Christian book, it is easy enough to see the allegory, but for those of us non-Christians who are tired of being pressured by Christians, this book can be read just as written, and comes across as a sort of Colorado flavor of zen.
