Summary
The antidote to a culture awash in self-absorption (hybris) is humility. This book, written by a veteran American missionary to Germany, unpacks the good and beautiful virtue of humility in three ways that makes the book so helpful. First, it contrasts humility with its opposite: pride. Pride is attractive but also deadly, ultimately disorienting us and leading us into darkness. Second, it combines the best of Christian devotional thoughts on humility with what secular writers have written. Third, it is immensely practical. There is a humility self-assessment that reveals to us where we stand based on the “ve metrics” of a humble person.
