"A fabulous book that is easy to read, great for small group study and so challenging as to be likened to a small pocket knife of biblical stabbing truth. It will challenge you from cover to cover and make you question your beliefs about who you are and what your purpose is. I judge a book by the shelf life. No pun intended but what I mean is, how many times will I put a book back off the shelf to give me life. This book will be referenced by me for future messages and future thinking on the topic of being a true servant. I think you should read it in my humble opinion."
"Charles Zimmerman, professor of practical theology at Biblical Seminary (PA), summed up much theological truth with the (quoted) phrase: "God is God. And I am not." I heard this from him a few times, several years ago during a few conferences he keynoted. The phrase, due to its simplicity, stuck with me.
God is God. I am not.
Much of the Christian life happens in realizing the depth and impact of those words. In this short book, Mahaney captures most of that key step: realizing the truth of God and self daily. He uses the term 'humility' to encapsulate most of life as a Christian. We continually realize the power and presence of God, and almost by necessity, realize our weakness and undeservedness outside of God.
For people like me, easily distracted by life, incorporating Mahaney's suggested practices into daily routines will be valuable."
"Significant Points 1. Humility is my greatest friend and pride my greatest enemy. 2. Genuine humility requires a radical redefinition of success. 3. Humility needs to be cultivated and pride weakened daily."
