Be Transformed by Christ’s Example

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” —1 Peter 5:5

A battle rages within every one of us every day. It’s the clash between our sense of stubborn self-sufficiency and God’s call to recognize that we’re really nothing without Him. It’s pride versus humility. And it’s a fight we can’t win without looking repeatedly to Christ and the cross. C. J. Mahaney raises a battle cry to daily, diligently, and deliberately weaken our greatest enemy (pride) and cultivate our greatest friend (humility). His thorough examination clarifies misconceptions, revealing the truth about why God detests pride and turns His active attention to the humble. Because pride is never passive, defeating it demands an intentional attack.

The blessing that follows is God’s abundant favor,

“Given pride’s pervasive presence in my life, I come to this book in holy fear, yet inspired by God’s promises to be humble and sobered by his warnings to the proud" (Isaiah 66:2b, 1 Peter 5:5b). Scripture reveals to us that, while pride was the first and most serious sin, God is decisively drawn to humility and is specifically supportive of the humble. Only Christ has fully obeyed Isaiah 66:2b (“This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word”), yet He did so as our representative! How marvelous that in our daily battle against pride we can rely on God’s grace, through the gospel, and thus bring honor and glory to God.” —C. J. Mahaney

Very Practical

This book hit real close at home and allowed me to see issues that I didn't realize were there. It also provided lots of ways to defeat pride through humility in practical steps that can be taken daily. I highly recommend!

LOVE this book! Easy Read, Practical

I absolutely LOVE this book! It offers many practical ways to implement humility into your daily life without guilt or condemnation. Very refreshing read. This isn't a very long book but it's packed full of great insight and advice.

Convicting

I started off not knowing what to expect or how much it would apply to my life. Not because I think I have accomplished humility but because my life doesn’t look like the average persons.
Let me tell you if you leave this book not convicted you were not paying attention.
