God spoke to Moses through a burning bush. He came to Joseph in a dream. God contacts teacher Ronnie Meek--with a text message. Inspired by a few simple words, Ronnie's life takes an evangelical turn, one that converts his classroom into a pulpit. That's when Ronnie Meek's world crumbles. The principal wants him fired. His wife is about to leave him. Then his father has a stroke. There's no reason to think that Ronnie will prevail, except for one fact. God is on his side.In Blessed are the Meek, a Christian fiction set in the Deep South, Principal Jerry Beam has a very despicable plan. To lure an all-state quarterback to Bethel High, Beam offers the athlete's father a job, one he doesn't have to give. To make room on staff, Beam picks his most timid, unremarkable teacher to bully into a resignation--Ronnie Meek. Blessed are the Meek speaks to the South's struggle in prioritizing its two passions-football and God. Even more importantly, the novel chronicles the plight of a Christian public school teacher, muted by the principle that prevents him from teaching life's most important lesson-salvation through Jesus Christ.
