This book was a Christmas gift from Nolan Egbert. I'm not sure if he's trying to tell me something?!
What an inspiring book. Mahaney does an incredible job of cautiously laying out some attributes of a humble person. His "humility-inducing" practices are especially good, though not new - which makes them all the more good. Though Mahaney does show them in a list, they are seperated in categories and have a feel they're meant to be blend and not a "this plus that."
As Mahaney says that writing about humility is a humbling experience; it would have to be.
The book is divided up into three sections and starts with The Battle of Humilty (our greatest friend) vs Pride (our greatest enemy). I'm reminded of Guinesses The Call where he tells us how close "converted" is to "conceited."
If you can get a grip on this first section, I believe the rest of the book would be easier. How closely related; humility and pride.
Gulp.
Thanks C.J. Mahaney
