"The Power of Humility" by R. T Kendall

ABOUT THE BOOK :



The Power and Freedom of a Humble Life

Pride is often the true reason why we get our feelings hurt, why we feel rejection, why we won't admit to mistakes, why we want to be seen with certain people, and why we stay angry.

Jesus gives us the perfect example of a powerful life lived without conceit, smugness, or arrogance. So why do we not want to admit to our pride? It is because of our pride!



In The Power of Humility, R. T. Kendall challenges us to look deeply into our hearts and motives to recognize the pride and self-righteousness there. Using personal stories and enlightening examples from the Bible, he demonstrates how pride interferes with a close relationship with God and reveals how to overcome pride and become more like Jesus.

MY REVIEW :

Though I didn't agree with everything the author mentioned, overall I felt like The Power of Humility is a great book and one every Christian could benefit from. I was once again reminded how much pride infiltrates our lives. Unforgiveness, superiority, works-based religion, holding grudges, an unwillingness to admit and repent of sin, self-righteousness, anger, jealously, self-pity, hypocrisy, boasting, judgmental attitudes, and much more can all be traced back to pride. I recommend this book.
