Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart? This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He's not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep rooted, life altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your resume are seen as the methods to make it, the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self hating person or a self loving person, but a self forgetful person. This freedom can be yours...

Download or read book Don t Lose Heart written by Jason Meyer and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fallen world is full of reasons to lose heart. From the large-scale tragedies of war, famine, and natural disasters, to the more personal tragedies of broken relationships and broken dreams, it can be difficult to avoid discouragement--even for the believer. And yet, Scripture calls us to a life of hope, based not on wishful thinking or avoiding our problems but based on who God is, what he has done, and what he is still doing. In this short, giftable book, pastor Jason Meyer shows you that though the reasons for discouragement seem strong, the reasons we have to take heart and hold on to hope are stronger yet. Through biblical truth and personal stories, Meyer encourages the weary and anxious believer by shining light on the nature of reality, the nature of God, and the intersection of the two in our daily, rubber-meets-the-road lives. The result is a book that lifts our spirits in a world that too often seeks to drag us down.

Download or read book Handbook of Humility written by Everett L. Worthington Jr. and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Humility is the first scholarly book to bring together authors from psychology as well as other fields to address what we know and don’t know about humility. Authors review the existing research in this burgeoning field that has well over 100 empirical articles and an increasing trajectory of publication. This work should form the basis for research in humility for many years. In this book, chapters address definitions of humility that guide research. Authors also reflect on the practical applications of humility research within the areas they reviewed. The book informs people who study humility scientifically, but it is also an exceptional guide for psychotherapists, philosophers, religious and community leaders, politicians, educated lay people, and those who would like to fuel an informed reflection on how humility might make interactions more civil in relationships, organizations, communities, political processes, and national and international relations.

Download or read book Confident Humility written by Dan Kent and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all self-help books emerge from one of two flawed views of the self, and these mutually exclusive ditches are destructive. The Ditch of Smallness says that people are fundamentally bad and that humanity's greatest spiritual threat is pride. The Ditch of Bigness says the exact opposite: people are fundamentally good, and shame is our greatest danger. Dan Kent presents a third view, a road between the ditches. He shows how the humility Jesus revealed offers the most accurate and freeing view of the self. Whereas shame and arrogance are dysfunction steroids (making our depression darker, our anxiety tighter, our addictions stickier, and so forth), humility, as Jesus teaches it, counteracts shame and pride, thereby subverting two major psychological forces that thwart us. Once we embrace this new way of seeing ourselves--how Jesus sees us--we begin to relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us in a way that allows us to overcome a whole host of vices and self-sabotaging behaviors. Furthermore, whereas the ditches both lead to powerlessness and passivity, humility as Jesus teaches it is empowering, fosters proactivity, and serves as a scaffold for true confidence.

Download or read book Humble Roots written by Hannah Anderson and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling worn thin? Come find rest. The Blue Ridge Parkway meanders through miles of rolling Virginia mountains. It’s a route made famous by natural beauty and the simple rhythms of rural life. And it’s in this setting that Hannah Anderson began her exploration of what it means to pursue a life of peace and humility. Fighting back her own sense of restlessness and anxiety, she finds herself immersed in the world outside, discovering a classroom full of forsythia, milkweed, and a failed herb garden. Lessons about soil preparation, sour mulch, and grapevine blights reveal the truth about our dependence on God, finding rest, and fighting discontentment. Humble Roots is part theology of incarnation and part stroll through the fields and forest. Anchored in the teaching of Jesus, Anderson explores how cultivating humility—not scheduling, strict boundaries, or increased productivity—leads to peace. “Come unto me, all who labor and are heavy laden,” Jesus invites us, “and you will find rest for your souls.” So come. Learn humility from the lilies of the field and from the One who is humility Himself. Remember who you are and Who you are not, and rediscover the rest that comes from belonging to Him.

Download or read book Humility Development written by Bigg Kelechi Anoweh K and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people have a very poor understanding about humility. This is the main reason why they have not developed it though they may have desired it but it is still far from them. As God may have it, this book has touched the term humility from its grassroots to the peak, pinpointing service as a therapy for mediocrity to all persons alike. Peradventure you desire a quick glance at the books contents I believe this conclusive part will capture and satisfy your quest. Being humble is not groveling in front of others or thinking that they are no good and others are better than you. That is not what I am expressing. Rather, when you are humble, you are free from pride and arrogance. You know that inside you, you are not derisory; to rather, you know who you are in Christ. You therefore do not need to defend yourself when you acknowledge what the Bible says about Humility. When you know your position in Christ, you can be a peacemaker with no need of fight for your rights; you can walk humbly in the power of the Holy Spirit and no longer in your strength. Everyone despite limitations yearns for destiny fulfillment; thus, the desire to break greater grounds becomes an imperative drive. This drive could be acquired through life experience rather than mere description. For one to experience breakthrough in life, he must understand that life is a continuous journey. It begins at one point and gets to another, in the same life trip. Your attitude at a point in life spurs, demotes or stagnates you. To maximize opportunities in the journey of life, humility is inevitable. Humility entails lowliness of mind, it creates room for further achievements by creating the consciousness of "I am yet to arrive" in you. You do not get satisfied by yesterday's achievement which gives rise to pride. Apostle Paul opined: "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, f that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before" (Phil 3:12-13) Over the years, the teachers and preachers of the word had emphasized on "love, Faith, Gifts, and submission" in churches and meeting places as the great requirement for good Christian life, but the most scarcely spoken of is 'humility. This particular character moved Jesus Christ to carry the whole of His followers to a designated place and gave them an immediate orientation on kingdom principles and lifestyle. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these at least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven'" (Matt 5:1-11). These facts portray the beatitude as one with a primary focus on humility. The question therefore is, "WHY IS IT SO"? This book stresses with the above question and gives answers that are requisites for our spiritual, psychological, material, and financial growth.
