Comment On About Books Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness

This is a really amazing book about why being prideful is so terrible when we are Christians. It talks about the relationships between humility and holiness, sin, faith, death to self, happiness & exaltation. It also gives some wonderful examples about how Jesus displayed humility, as well as the examples of humility & lack of humility of his 12 disciples. There are so many important lessons here about being humble before God, but most importantly being humble in our everyday life among

Eye-opening, challenging, something to keep coming back to over and over and over...My identity is a function of where I stand in relation to my Creator, Redeemer, Father, Lover...He is God, I am not! What a liberating, joyful truth!

"Humility: the Beauty of Holiness" is a powerful little book; less than 100 pages long, but full to overflowing with awesome insights into one of the Christian's most over-looked character qualities. One of the most convicting quotes for me is "...the only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us, and carry out, in our ordinary conduct; the insignificances of daily life are the importances and the tests of eternity,

As the song goes: Humbly thyself in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up.

"The call to humility has been too little regarded in the church because it's true nature and importance has been too little apprehended. It is not a something which we bring to God, or He bestows. It is simply the sense of entire nothingness, which comes when we truly see how God is all and which we make way for God to be all.""In the life of earnest Christians, of those who pursue and profess holiness, humility ought to be the chief mark of their uprightness."This book accurately defines true

Murray writes from a place of pure conviction. Humility is the last stop on the road to Christian maturation, and yet he laments how often its left behind for many Christians. He argued that humility is the forms the root of all Christian behavior because it alone takes the right attitude before God, and allows Him as God to do all. (p. 7) Murray writes, that evil can have no beginning but from pride, and no end but from humility. (p. 9) This book has some serious gems and is worth the read!
