About This Book

These meditations present humility as the central virtue of the Christian life, treating it in three aspects: the creature's dependence on God, the humbled condition of repentance, and the soul's humble response to redeeming love. Drawing on the example and redemptive work of Christ, the author links humility to holiness and to themes such as faith, death to self, daily life, sin, happiness, and exaltation. Practical reflections and doctrinal exposition show how restoring humble dependence undoes pride, shapes discipleship, and becomes both the root of virtue and the consummation of worship.
