At the heart of Fruit of the Spirit, Gregory P. Knowles’ debut collection of short stories, are the most basic of human characteristics – love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control – characteristics fundamental to human existence and yet so difficult to cultivate and sustain within the human spirit.
A paranoiac brother suspicious of the intentions of his sister’s psychologist friends struggles to find love; a shell-shocked soldier newly returned from Iraq and struggling to adjust to city life finds not peace; and a dying teenager’s gift to her grief-stricken father alternates between giving joy and stealing it away.
A son whose life has become one of bitter frustration finds patience in the most unlikely of places; a teen struggling with the meaning of love finds kindness in an aunt shunned by the rest of her family, and a young woman, certain that her looks will provide all she requires in life, finds herself trapped between the ambiguous attentions of the perfect man and the virtuous goodness of the imperfect.
A life of disappointment for the father of a dying girl leaves him grasping and reveals the tenuous nature faith that is not thought through; a young man shunned by his peers and ridiculed by his father discovers success through the gentleness of an elderly Scottish woman; and a wayward son’s eagerness for riches over family proves that lack of self-control can lead down paths best avoided.
In nine wonderfully crafted stories, Greg Knowles shows that even the finest of virtues can have a dark side – but when properly applied, can salve the deepest of wounds.
Fruit of the Spirit edition by Gregory P Knowles Literature Fiction eBooks
A great read - each story leads you to a point where it finishes with you still thinking. Knowles' "fruit of the spirit" framework sits easily behind the narrative(s), guiding, rather than predetermining the "reading experience." The overall work has power beyond a single personal read. A significant number of the chapters/stories have a clear potential to serve as "case-studies"—for using in a yes-but-how reflective interaction by either a single reader or "common interest group".Product details
