When Jesus "made himself nothing...taking the nature of a servant," He modeled for all believers true humility. Andrew Murray calls this "our true nobility" and "the

Often called the best work on humility ever written, this edition has been edited for today's reader.

Write Up About Books Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness

I took this book on vacation and lost it! I was so disappointed. It was such a good book. One to read over and over and be reminded how ugly and destructive pride is and how necessary humility is to the Christian life. Found a copy for my kindle! A book to cherish and read often.

p. 12 to present itself an empty vessel, in which God can dwell and manifest His power and goodness.Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is, from the very nature of things, the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature. In fact, it is the root of every virtue.p. 13 Jesus Christ took the place and fulfilled perfect humility. His humility is our salvation. His salvation is our humility.p. 16 And let us believe that, when we are broken down under a sense of our pride, and of our

No one wants to think of him/herself as an arrogant, prideful, conceited person, but after reading this book, one will have no other choice, but to admit that the "number one virtue" eludes our understanding. The one thing the body of Christ needs to imitate is the one thing we refuse to practice...humility. The bragging, overlooking each other and boasting is idolatry. I have shared this book with several friends. Their responses were staggering...no comments. Nothing was said after they

The likes of How to Win Friends and Influence People can teach the outward habits of seeming humility, but Murray is not so easily satisfied. Real humility, he argues,

I read this book every six months. It's like a spiritual detox from all the self-help messages of the world.

"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

Small, powerful book on humilitywhat it is, why we should have it. Murray says it is the fundamental virtue for all Christians. This makes sense to me, because I see how its antithesis, pride, is the root of so much sin. Reading this book has helped me be more alert to opportunities to die to myself and put others first. I have a long way to go, but this was a good help!
