Humility - by Andrew Murray (Paperback)

About the Book

In twelve brief but powerful chapters, Murray underscores the Christian's need for humility-as opposed to pride-in daily life.

Book Synopsis

In twelve brief but powerful meditations, this Christian classic from nineteenth-century minister and author Andrew Murray underscores the need of Christians to turn from pride, empty themselves, and study the character of Christ, who will then fill them with His grace.

When Jesus "made himself nothing . . . taking the nature of a servant," He modeled for all believers true humility. Andrew Murray calls this our true nobility and the distinguishing feature of discipleship.

In these twelve insightful meditations, Murray calls all Christians to

● turn from pride, empty themselves, and study the character of Christ
● understand the principles in which Jesus' humility is rooted
● recognize humility as not only a mark of shame but also the very beauty and blessedness of Jesus
● participate in the life of Jesus through expressing humility as a servant and helper of all
