If meekness is “the easy, quiet submission to the will of God as he makes it known by his Word or His Providence,” then Christian writers are poised to grow in this vital but misunderstood Spirit fruit. Abigail Wallace, author of “Meek Not Weak: A 12-Week Guide to the Gentle Strength of Meekness,” will teach us how to use meekness in our writing life disciplines to grow us more into the image of Christ.
You can follow Abigail on her website at: https://www.abigailwallace.com/ or find her on social media at: https://www.facebook.com/JoyfullyPressingOn
