Grace Like a River Flows is Christian fiction. Glencoe, by another name, is real and I pastored there for five years. Many characters are based on real people I knew. But the great story? It’s all made up. Well, almost.”The tracks have separated this town for a hundred years, but one day God’s grace began flowing like River. And, like a mighty, raging river, you can’t control it and you can’t … you can’t stop it. God’s grace goes where He wants.
Grace Like a River Flows is about very flawed people who live on both sides of the tracks which run through Glencoe. Lives are changed. Families are transformed. And an old mainline church is renewed. Come meet the cast of characters who will be touched by God. Charlotte (featured on the cover) has seen the tracks. Will God’s grace touch her life? Look for the surprise ending! You’ll never see it coming.

This book is wonderful! It grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go. It’s a book that you don’t want to see it end, but you have to know what is going to happen next. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for his next book to be published
The only word I can think of for this book is WOW. R. Marshall Wright has written story about class conflict, forgiveness and growing in the Lord. His characters are well developed and interesting. You will probably recognize people you know in these characters. I loved the twists and turns of the story line. This may be a new genre for the author but I hope there will be more to come
Great Christian fiction that has real life storytelling. The first book I’ve read by R Marshall Wright but not the last!
This is the second book I’ve read by this author. His stories are unique with a strong ‘author voice’. Humorous, hard to put down and an interesting story.
A natural storyteller.
There is some head-hopping and an omniscient point of view but the sheer style of the writing makes these points seem unimportant.
A story full of hope and transformation.
Dick is a new author. I feel comfortable using R Marshall Wight’s name in the familiar. His writings, all of them, have made me feel as if I’ve known him all our lives. He seems to know the promise and hope that I need, that we all need in our lives these days. I have read and reread all three of his books and am never disappointed. Funny, there are some movies, books, stories that one may read over and over and just wish for it to come out differently this time. Not with these books. I am so delighted to feel assured they will always turn out the same, never disappointed in Jesus’ promise. It’s always a journey, a ride of your life, and if you need hope for your happy ever after, it is definitely here. Real people, real places, real misfortune, and true faith will bring you through. I know there’s a next book and a next. I will promise myself to read and reread and never be disappointed. Jesus is in my life and always will be. I think, like all of us, I’m thankful for second chances. Believe, don’t rush through, don’t run. Turn these pages slowly, let the message sink deep into your soul. And if it hasn’t happened for you yet, may there be a Beasley who finds you and points you, no leads you in the right direction.
R Marshall Wright’s latest book is enthralling. A real town that comes alive with imagery as he takes you through the lives of people who desperately need the forgiveness of the Lord. Real people, real problems. Everyone always says ‘write what you know’ and the author sure nailed it here. He lived in this town, he knew these people. He pastored in this church and he has seen the work of the Lord. Hang on to your hat as he takes you on many adventures through the lives of these people. Will they find comfort, will they find forgiveness, will they forgive themselves, will they find Jesus. Sometimes endings are predictable, but not here. A must read and encourage others to read as well.
I read his previous book, Joseph and Mary, Untold Story. Very different and informative. A wonderful story based in truths as told in the Bible. Another must read. Get on board with the author, R Marshall Wright.
