Humility: True Greatness
Description
God clearly states that He is drawn to the humble. He's also clear that He opposes the proud. These two, humility and pride, cannot coexist. Where one is fostered, the other is defeated.
Which will you pursue?
C J Mahaney paints a striking picture of the daily battle quietly raging within every Christian and asks whether you will passively accommodate the enemy of your soul, pride, or actively cultivate your best friend, humility. When you acknowledge the deception of pride and intentionally humble yourself, you become free to savor abundant mercies and unlikely graces. You will find a new life is yours - a life God richly favours. A God-glorifying life you don't want to miss.

Customer Reviews
Excellent - recommended for everyone
If you know you have a problem with pride, this is a great book. If you think you don't have a problem with pride, read this book and (like me) you will probably realise that you do, and need to change!
It is very easy to read, and there are practical tips in each chapter, which are summarised in one easy to use list at the end of the book.
The book is a nice little hardback so it makes a nice gift.
The only reason for not giving it 5 out of 5 is that it is quite expensive for a relatively short book.
