Humility Paperback – June 3, 2016

This classic book by Andrew Murray has within a comprehensive analysis of humility which, in the life of earnest Christians, ought to be the chief mark of their uprightness. The reader will discover that to ascend higher in the things of God, one must die to pride. "Just as water ever seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds the creature abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless." Two master powers – pride and humility. Both striving for the eternal possession of man.Take the acid test within these pages and discover how you measure up before others. "The humble man looks upon the feeblest and unworthiest and honors him and prefers him as a son of a King. He can bear to hear others praised and himself forgotten. " Marie says that the test of holiness should be measured by increased humility. Dying to oneself is not often heard but neither should it be a result of one's work. Rather, Andrew Murray teaches that as our affections are set on God, that He brings deliverance from self. Humbling situations, including those with other men may actually be set up for future blessings.Each of the 12 chapters has a distinct aspect attached to humility: redemption, holiness, faith, and happiness for example. This work is recommended for those mature in Christ. The readings are challenging and best absorbed slowly. The reader will discover that humility is not a thing that will evolve, but must be desired through prayer, faith, and practice. Great resource for those serious enough to make changes in attitude and actions.

I've read a lot and this book is now on my shelf of "life-changers". Wish it could be required reading for all Christians - the world may have a different view of us if we could escape cultural values to better understand what Jesus calls us to (and sets the example). This book is a small but powerful step in that direction!

This book gave me much too think about. With humility is the promise of exaltation, but how difficult it is to humble ourselves. Reading this book will be a profitable spiritual exercise.

I am very disappointed! The book is half the size of my first copy. I was buying it to share with friends and only received 1/2 the book. My original copy was printed in 1982 and this copy was printed in 2017...waste of money!!!

Really life changing. I though I knew what humility is, but Andrew Murray tells me that I was so low. This book is the key to true christian life.

Outstanding! Shows the importance of humility and how a humble man can be strong.

Andrew Murray keeps it simple to understand this beautiful disposition!

This is a wonderful book

Anyone concerned with the attainment of Christlikeness, must realise that few writings on the subject of the path to get there are better written then this book.
