Humility: True Greatness

Author: C. J. Mahaney
Category: Strength

Synopsis: C. J. Mahaney is a veteran pastor and Christian who understands the daily fight against pride and the value of a humble life. Yet, he refuses to allow us to build our understanding of humility on the back of the stereotypical doormat that seems to enter our minds when we think about the subject. Instead, he endeavors to create a theological foundation for the value of humility and provides practical advice on how true humility should shape our daily plans, life goals, and parental objectives.

Value: Anyone who claims to not need to actually study the issue of humility is prideful, so prideful that he fails to see God’s directive to His people to live humbly before Him. Mahaney’s resource is a challenging call to believers to embrace true humility, and he does not leave himself free of this call nor does he attempt to make himself the prime example of a humble man. God will strengthen the humble so we are wise to understand humility and pursue it.
