Humility: True Greatness by C.J. Mahaney

Since I've had nothing too interesting to report in my life, I thought I'd let today's post be about a book. Last night, I finished C.J. Mahaney's book Humility: True Greatness. On my scale, this book would get a fantastic. (That's equal to 9.5, the Bible always being a 10. :)) So it was a pretty good book! If you haven't read it, read it. It can't be too expensive, because it's a small book.

First, I love C.J. (Can I call him C.J.?) Ok. He starts the book out by saying how humbling it is to write about humility. And I'll add that it is also humbling to read about humility, because I see how not humble I really am.

Second, the book was oozing with Scripture. This is always a good thing, especially when you're reading and trusting a human author. But he does a very fine job of staying focused in the Word and not making up his own theories.

Third, his book is very applicable and easy to understand. Even at the end of the book, he summarizes the areas where we can work on humility and weaken our pride. I copied them down and plan on printing them out. He had tips like, waking up and realizing your dependence on God, practicing spiritual disciplines, and encouragin others...things like that. I'll let you read the book yourself to get the rest of the goodness.

Just trust me, it was an excellent book, and didn't take me very long to read. Loved it loved it loved it. So that's my thoughts for today. Now I have to go to Greek, which is also a very humbling class. :/
