Humility - True Greatness

A Great book by C.J. Mahaney, one of my favorite authors. Humility is an area that we do not receive enough teaching in the Church today. It is a very important part of how we are to live out our faith. This book is not too long and a fairly easy read, I highly recommend it for everyone. I believe it is an essential read for leadership in the Church.

Enjoy

523261: Humility:  True Greatness Humility: True Greatness

By C.J. Mahaney


God clearly states that he is drawn to the humble. He's also clear that He opposes the proud. These two, humility and pride, cannot coexist. Where one is fostered, the other is defeated.

Which will you pursue? C.J. Mahaney paints a striking picture of the daily battle quietly raging within every Christian and asks whether you will passively accommodate the enemy of your soul, pride, or actively cultivate your best friend, humility. When you acknowledge the deception of pride and intentionally humble yourself, you become free to savor abundant mercies and unlikely graces. You will find a new life is yours - a life God richly favors. A God-glorifying life you don't want to miss.

The 5 Love Languages

A great book by Gary Chapman that really made a difference for me in how I viewed love.  Before reading this book I did not know that there were different ways to give and receive love.  This book has made a huge difference in my life, in my marriage, in my home and even in my interactions with other people.

I highly recommend this book to everyone.  Not only is it an easy read, it has good challenging information and some practical tools that help you understand what your love language is.

Be open to God shaping you and making you the person He has called you to be.
