Reviews
A timely echo of Lincoln's voice--to remind us of what Americans, at their best, aspire to be. Richard S. Slotkin, author of Abe: A Novel of the Young Lincoln This is a book of reflections, informed by a lifetime of reading and scholarship about Lincoln, and also by a lifetime of immersion in the moral and spiritual work of a counselor and clergyman. But it is also a book of meditations, of invitations to a first-person experience of communion with and through Lincoln, a kind of momentary sabbath at the heart of the everyday. It is an invitation to a habit of spiritual practice appropriate to the broken soul of this almost chosen people, as they seek to repair, and perhaps ultimately to perfect, this last best hope of earth. From the Foreword by John Burt, author of Lincoln's Tragic Pragmatism (2013). As Lincoln himself did, these words cast a healing and inspiriting spell. In a time when we have all but forgotten what a leader is--what a hero is--Duncan Newcomer's stories help restore to us a wise and compassionate leader. Listen to these 30 reflections one at a time, read them, or listen and read all at once. They will change your life in a subtle way, quiet you, restore calm and wisdom. But they will change you. The Rev. Dr. Eileen Sypher, Emeritus Professor of English at George Mason University Abraham Lincoln spoke with deep spiritual values to a House Divided, a nation at war within itself. As Duncan Newcomer reminds us: "Lincoln became a prophet who cried out for a balance that could keep our house from dividing--that could keep our nation from collapsing." Once again, we are a nation at war within ourselves regarding what it means to be an American and questioning our most important founding values. "Abraham Lincoln is America's Great Soul" writes Newcomer. "To this day, Lincoln's spirit soars far beyond the boundaries of the United States to inspire men and women around the world." Thirty Days With Abraham Lincoln--Quiet Fire is a powerful and important book that takes us to the heart and soul of that spirit and inspires us to reclaim the values essential for putting our house in order once again. Dr. John Oliver Wilson, author of The Idea of America: Our Values, Our Legacy, Our Future and Founder-Director of the Idea of America Network for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. These are elegant, meditative reflections inspired by America's most admired president. Duncan Newcomer's Lincoln still transcends transactional politics and regularly reminds us, by his example and words, of America's higher aspirations. Thomas E. Cronin, President Emeritus of Whitman College and author of Imagining A Great Republic: Political Novels and the Idea of America (2018) Duncan Newcomer's life-long dedication to Lincoln has been an anchor for his life and mind. It's an aspirational American story, both Lincoln's and Duncan's. Like all spiritual extrapolations, it has the advantage of its aspirational and idealistic resonances. What Duncan has done, and is doing, will be helpful to many people. Fred Kaplan is the author of numerous biographies, including The Biography of a Writer: Lincoln.

Synopsis
Abraham Lincoln is the soul of America, calling us to our best as Americans. Duncan Newcomer has hosted more than 200 episodes of the radio series Quiet Fire: The Spiritual Life of Abraham Lincoln. Now, 30 of his best stories provide a month of inspirational reading in a unique volume that also lets readers listen to original broadcasts each day., Abraham Lincoln is the soul of America, calling us to our best as Americans. Lincoln scholar Duncan Newcomer has hosted more than 200 episodes of the radio series Quiet Fire: The Spiritual Life of Abraham Lincoln. Now, 30 of his best stories provide a month of inspirational reading in a unique volume that invites us to read the stories--or to follow a simple code to hear the original broadcast each day. "Since its beginning, radio has offered a warm medium for connecting the heart, the head, and the imagination. This delightful collection of Lincoln's wisdom was seeded in a creative radio show, Quiet Fire," writes Sally Kane, CEO of the National Federation of Community Broadcasters, where this series was born on WERU, a station in mid-coastal Maine. "Now, Quiet Fire has morphed into a daily companion for readers who connect the dots between time and space to map a new understanding of the chaotic times in which we live. Lincoln's words resonate more urgently than ever, and Duncan has played alchemist in Quiet Fire to one of our country's greatest souls and distilled an essence that can guide and comfort us." "Duncan Newcomer captures Lincoln's spirit in every one of these thirty meditations, and I love the fact that these began life on radio since I am a radio guy as well," Day1 radio host Peter Wallace writes in the book's Foreword. "By reading these sublime and soulful reflections, possessed--as Duncan puts it--by a quiet fire, you will find inspiration and insight that will make sense in your own life, in your own battles with fear and grief, in your own decisions over the best path to take in a certain situation, in your own yearning for deep meaning and purpose." In the book, Newcomer reminds readers of Lincoln's belief that it is "not the land that makes us American. It's a mindset. Americans are not a race or a tribe. To Lincoln, Americans are a people who have received a great gift: a free nation with self-government." And, Thirty Days With Abraham Lincoln--Quiet Fire reminds us, writes Newcomer, that "Americans did not create this free nation on their own; in Lincoln's mind, a divine assistance made it possible." In these short, daily stories, Newcomer touches repeatedly to the role of the divine in Lincoln's thoughts, writings and deeds. In one story, Lincoln senses "an abiding presence everywhere for good." In another, "God acting in history." "It may just be," writes Newcomer, "that more than two centuries after the birth of Lincoln, new generations of people are ready to follow Lincoln once again--in order to find a new birth of freedom. This spirit can make the young wide awake and relight the fire inside the old." Sheryl Fullerton, retired Executive Editor for Religion & Spirituality at John Wiley & Sons, Inc, writes, "Duncan Newcomer gives us the gift of Abraham Lincoln's wise words and Duncan's own thoughtful reflections on a side of the great president most of us have not really seen. Read this book every day for a month, and you will not only be heartened and enlightened but also given hope for our own troubled times." Thirty Days With Lincoln, collects Newcomer's best stories from the radio series Quiet Fire, presenting them both in text and with a daily link that will play that original broadcast with the click of a smartphone app.
