Praise for I Cheerfully Refuse
~A Most Anticipated Book of 2024 from Literary Hub~
A heart-racing ballad of escape, shot-through with villainy and dignity, humor and music. Like Mark Twain, Enger gives us a full accounting of the human soul, scene by scene, wave by wave.
—Josh Ritter, Singer and Author of The Great Glorious Goddamn Of It All
The transcendent latest from Enger (Peace Like a River) is at once a dystopian love story, a nautical adventure, and a meditation on loss, kindness, and natural beauty . . . This captivating narrative brims with hope.

Barnabas PiperYou’ve heard us all talk about his books a lot. You’ve heard Barnabas admit that he has a semi-idolatrous man-crush on him. And a couple weeks back, it happened:
Acclaimed novelist Leif Enger joined us on the show.
In the studio in Nashville.
And Barnabas wasn’t there to be a part of it. (He was off on a work trip to Colorado, and still has trouble sleeping at night.)
In our conversation, we talked about:
- Leif’s writing process and why it took 10 years for Virgil Wander to be released;
- Why his latest is his “most Christian but least evangelical” book yet
- What it means to be a successful writer (and how he handles criticism);
- How his three books connect with different seasons; and
- Why book tours actually still matter.
And even though Barnabas wasn’t with us in person, we made sure he wasn’t left out of the group photo.
