Humility: True Greatness (C. J. Mahaney)
$12.95$14.99
A battle rages within every one of us every day. It’s the clash between our sense of stubborn self-sufficiency and God’s call to recognize that we’re really nothing without Him. It’s pride versus humility. And it’s a fight we can’t win without looking repeatedly to Christ and the cross. C. J. Mahaney raises a battle cry to daily, diligently, and deliberately weaken our greatest enemy (pride) and cultivate our greatest friend (humility). His thorough examination clarifies misconceptions, revealing the truth about why God detests pride and turns His active attention to the humble. Because pride is never passive, defeating it demands an intentional attack. The blessing that follows is God’s abundant favor.
“This is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit.”
—Isaiah 66:2, ESV
God clearly states that He is drawn to the humble. He’s also clear that He opposes the proud. These two, humility and pride, cannot coexist. Where one is fostered, the other is defeated. Which will you pursue? When you acknowledge the deception of pride and intentionally humble yourself, you become free to savor abundant mercies and unlikely graces. You will find a new life is yours—a life God richly favors. A God-glorifying life you don’t want to miss.

Humbled: Welcoming the Uncomfortable Work of God (David Mathis)
$7.50How do we humble ourselves? Or, would you prefer to get humbled?
Humility, according to the Bible, is not something we can just up and do. Both the negative and positive examples of Scripture—from Pharaoh to Rehoboam, from Josiah to Ahab, from Hezekiah to Manasseh, and even to Christ himself—teach us that humility first comes from the hand of God. He initiates the humbling of his creatures. And once he has, the question confronts us: Will you receive it? Will you humble yourself in response to His humbling hand, or will you kick against Him?
This concise, accessible study of Scripture’s humble-yourself commands uncovers two surprising lessons about the pursuit of humility in the Christian—both what we cannot do and also what steps we can take.

Christ Humbled Yet Exalted (John Flavel)
$13.50John Flavel shows Christ as our fountain of true joy: secured for his people by his humiliation and his exaltation. By humiliation, Flavel means the incarnation – Christ’s birth, ministry, and death – by exaltation he means the four stages of resurrection, ascension, intercession, and His return in judgment.
Flavel shows this twofold act (humiliation and exaltation) is the foundation of our joy because through them Christ has removed our debt and secured our inheritance. “The believer knows,” says Flavel, “that however sweet his communion with Christ is in this world, yet that communion he will have with Christ in heaven will far excel it.”

From Pride to Humility (Stuart Scott)
$3.95God has given us a model of humility in the person of Jesus Christ. His most stunning attribute is that of humility; in light of that, the most stunning sin of ours is pride, and certainly the most detestable to God. Pride is a form of self-worship, but often appears in our lives in the most subtle ways.
This little volume will show you numerous ways in which pride may break out in your life, but also suggests how we might pursue humility with the help of the Holy Spirit.
