Humility

First published in 1884, ‘Humility’ is a classic book on the trait of holiness by Andrew Murray, a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Humility is the most neglected teaching of Jesus Christ. In this book, Andrew Murray explores how vital humility is to the understanding and practice of Christianity. This is perhaps the best book ever written on the subject.
In this work, Andrew Murray explains the self-sacrifice and perfect humility of Jesus Christ. Murray highlights the need to not just admire this quality but also strive to impersonate it. To live one’s life as a servant is the call and necessity of every Christian. Humility and the denial of one’s self are shown here to be truly essential to the Christian life and to all who claim to follow Jesus. It remains a popular source of motivation over 100 years after its first publication.
"Here is the path to the higher down, lower down! Just as water always seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds men abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless."
— Andrew Murray ( The Journey Toward Holiness)
