Some think that being humble means hiding your talents and abilities or being weak and inauthentic. But the Bible paints a different picture—defining humility as a self-forgetfulness leading to joy and explaining that it is a life-giving virtue that frees you from the restricting needs of your ego. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHumility: The Joy of Self-Forgetfulness\u003c\/em\u003e, Gavin Ortlund encourages readers that humility is not just an abstract virtue but a mark of gospel integrity. Ortlund examines humility both on a personal level and in the context of the church, giving examples of ways to cultivate it—including meditation on the gospel and practicing intentional gratitude. Drawing from Philippians 2 and historical texts such as C. S. Lewis’s \u003cem\u003eMere Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e and Jonathan Edwards’s sermon “A Christian Spirit Is a Humble Spirit,” Ortlund defines humility in light of the incarnation and death of Jesus Christ, casting a vision for a gospel-centered, humble life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst Book in the Growing Gospel Integrity Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e Created in partnership with Union School of Theology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWritten by Gavin Ortlund:\u003c\/strong\u003e Author of \u003cem\u003eTheological Retrieval for Evangelicals: Why We Need Our Past to Have a Future\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFinding the Right Hills to Die On: The Case for Theological Triage\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Small Groups and Individual Study:\u003c\/strong\u003e Questions at the end of each chapter encourage small group discussion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CROSSWAY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43994596344028,"sku":"9781433582301","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/4058\/5692\/files\/31_QDKMbvL._SY445_SX342.jpg?v=1697637800","url":"https:\/\/bible-society-uae-7958.myshopify.com\/products\/humility-the-joy-of-self-forgetfulness","provider":"Bible Society UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
