Humility: True Greatness by CJ Mahaney is well worth reading. I am so excited to
read it with others and hear their thoughts as we go through it
together!
In this book, humility is defined as "honestly assessing
ourselves in light of God's holiness and our sinfulness". But,as CJ
Mahaney says,it is not enough to "know" the definition of humility or
greatness, or even to understand the perils of pride. To overcome our
natural tendency toward promotion of self he offers some practical
advice. One of the first practices he advises us to undertake is to
"reflect on the wonder of the cross". "How can anyone be arrogant when
he stands beside the cross?"

We are still accepting requests to order Humility: True Greatness. If you have your copy, go ahead and start reading. It will help to have an overview before we work on it together. Once we all have our books, the plan will be to coordinate our reading and then share our thoughts online. A "Virtual Book Study", from the comfort of your own home!
