HUMILITY: TRUE GREATNESS

Humility: True Greatness is an excellent book by C. J. Mahaney

Here is a favorite passage from it:

"The difference couldn't be more stark.
As sinfully and culturally defined, pursuing greatness looks like this: Individuals motivated by self-interest, self-indulgence, and a false sense of self-sufficiency pursue selfish ambition for the purpose of self-glorification.
Contrast that with the pursuit of true greatness as biblically defined: Serving others for the glory of God. This is the genuine expression of humility; this is true greatness as the Savior defined it."
