About this ebook

Is humility a Christlike attribute that should be pursued? And even if it should be, can genuine humility actually be attained? Often so practical in application that it is overlooked, the answer is found by studying the life and words of Christ (whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave). This little book is a loud call to all committed Christians to prove that meekness and lowliness of heart is the evidence by which those who follow the meek and lowly Lamb of God are to be known. Never mind that your initial efforts will be misunderstood, taken advantage of, or even resisted. Instead, learn from the One who came not to be ministered unto, but to serve. For a Christian to be alive, for the life of Christ to reign in and through us, we must be empty of ourselves, exchanging our life for His life, our pride for true, Christlike humility.

Ratings and reviews

This book uncovers the struggles of the Christian life and the cause of the powerlessness of the church. It explains the truth about salvation, which the church has not understood. An inspirational and potentially life changing book, if the pearls of wisdom are actioned.

I used this as part of my daily reading for my morning meditation. I found it helpful, and well written, easy to follow and at times inspiring. My only criticism is that it felt repetitive, as the author seemed to be speaking in a stream of consciousness rather than writing concisely. I would however recommend the book to anyone wanting to ground themselves in the concepts and spiritual practice of humility. I will reread the book again, and may update this review with a higher rating upon a second read.

Inspirational beyond belief! Want to know the Lord?? Prayfully read this book and heed it and your life will change.
