Humility
A Religion, Faith, Spirituality book. Humiliation is the only ladder to honoring God's Kingdom. Andrew Murray, Humility //
""Humility is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret."" "Humility" is considered one of the best books on this topic. Brief, but powerful, Murray explores this topic through surveying a range of scriptures passages. Murray considers Christ to be the ultimate model as the one who gave up His life, in order to gain life for His people. "Humility" is part of The Fig Classic Series on Modern Theology.
