Publisher's summary

We all admire humility when we see it. But how do we practice it? How does humility - the foundational virtue of the normal Christian life - become a normal part of our everyday lives?

Jerry Bridges sees in the Beatitudes a series of blessings from Jesus, a pattern for humility in action. Starting with poverty in spirit - an acknowledgment that in and of ourselves we are incapable of living holy lives pleasing to God - and proceeding through our mourning over personal sin, our hunger and thirst for righteousness, our experience of persecutions large and small, and more, we discover that humility is itself a blessing: At every turn, God is present to us, giving grace to the humble and lifting us up to blessing.

Every Christian can benefit from this book!

This book is an amazing overview of what it means to be humble and how we can strive to be more Christlike. It’s an easy to read, to the point book that exposes the sun in our every day lives that we often overlook. Everyone should have an understanding of the contents of this book!

Timeless Lessons

This book will never lose its value. It’s more of relevant now than it was when it was written and what he predicted came true. Christianity and God is under attack now more than ever in this book is needed now more than ever. The narrator his lights out he does a great job conveying the spirit of the author. I totally recommend this book!
