Description
In this provocative book-length essay, controversial televangelist, Pat Robertson discusses humility, a virtue even he admits isn't his most obvious characteristic. But Rev. Robertson asserts that what we commonly think of as arrogance - the opposite of humility - is often just confidence in doing one's jobs properly, or one's ability to serve God or other human beings. He identifies five sources of humility: acknowledging God; welcoming criticism; acknowledging the suffering of others; subordinating oneself to a higher cause; and acknowledging the wisdom that comes from experience.Rev. Robertson's thoughts on humility, touching on some of the deepest issues in religion and philosophy, provide an inspirational and unique perspective on life.
