From the bestselling author of The Pursuit of Holiness
We all admire humility when we see it. But how do we actively practice it?
Esteemed and established author Jerry Bridges takes a deeper look into the Beatitudes to find a pattern for humility in action. He thoroughly explains what humility is, what the Bible says about it, and the different ways we can exhibit humility in a fallen world. A must-read for Christians in every stage of their journey with Jesus,
The Blessing of Humility draws connections between Christ's teachings, and shows readers how to put humility into daily action. You will glean convicting and lifechanging insights about:
- Mourning over personal sin
- Hungering and thirsting for righteousness
- Showing meekness
- Demonstrating mercy
- And more
Now with an added study guide for personal use or group discussion so you can dive deeper into this staple of Jerry Bridges's classic collection.
