The River of Blessings, the third and final installment in David Marquis’ River Trilogy, is a lyrical meditation on the unpredictable movements of life and the stream of blessings that come in their own, unpredictable time with the pursuit of goodness.
“Life is not a vending machine,” begins David Marquis’ The River of Blessings, “You can’t simply put in a good deed, a good work, and immediately get a blessing in return.” Instead, life and its blessings flow like a river, sometimes unpredictable and nonlinear, sometimes flowing with force and other times like a trickle. In The River of Blessings, David Marquis asks readers to embrace life’s mysteries and let go of its burdens in order to feel the full weight of its blessings more fully.
David Marquis is a long-time committed activist for environmental and social change in the Dallas area. He is the author of I Am A Teacher (Simon & Schuster), which became a series of widely performed plays. He founded the Oak Cliff Nature Preserve in Dallas and has consulted with the Texas Conservation Alliance since 2011. The first book in this series, The River Always Wins, was published by Deep Vellum in 2020.
