| dc.description.abstract | THE BLESSED MEEK is an exploration of free will versus the sovereignty of the church and those who keep its doctrines. By exposing the lives of Meekness residents, especially preachers’ kids, Will Chance and Alora Ryan, the reader discovers the heart of this short story collection, which traverses the bridge between religious faith and humanistic needs. Even though these protagonists are raised in different generations, they encounter the same problems regarding Meekness: do they fight against the value system of the Meek; or do they humble themselves under its weight? By engaging multiple points of views, readers are drawn into the hearts and minds of Meekness citizens, so one knows exactly how it feels to be Meek. | en_US |
