CJ Mahaney’s latest book is out: Humility: True Greatness. There are a lot of great books out there, but few that will help us grow as much as this one. The basic premise of the book is that pride is our greatest enemy and humility is our greatest friend. I like what pastor Mark Dever (Capital Hill Baptist Church) says about this book:

“C.J. Mahaney is not humble. At least, that’s what he’ll tell you. And that’s one reason he’s so well qualified to write this book. I’ve read it. I’ve seen humility in his life–and in the lives of those he’s taught. If you’re fighting pride–like I am–you should read it, too. And if you’re not fighting pride, you really need to read it!”–Mark Dever

I finished reading this book a few days ago, and it took a lot of self-control to not underline the entire book. I’ll share some favorite quotes with you over the next few days. For now, here is a basic outline of Humility:

• Part 1: Our Greatest Friend, Our Greatest Enemy. This section introduces us to the battle between humility (friend) and pride (enemy).
• Part 2: The Great Reversal. In this section, CJ shows us the Savior’s perfect example of humility, and how, through his death, we can begin to apply this to our lives as well.
• Part 3: Our Great Pursuit. 8 chapters, 17 helpful and practical suggestions about how to cultivate humility.

It’s not in our bookstore yet, but will be soon. I’ll let you know.
