Book Review: THE POWER OF HUMILITY

 Most books claim that they have something for everyone, that can be  a misleading point. This is not the case in R.T. Kendall's book, " The Power Of Humility." It does have something for everyone, of every class, whether you are a man or woman. A student or a businesswoman. No matter who you are it is a book that will convict and at the same time give you hope for your future. There is the enemy of the soul called pride and each one of us deals with it in some measure. This book identifies the different areas of pride, whether it is in judging others, self righteousness, hypocrisy, whatever it may be is covered in the pages of this book. He candidly uses examples of his own life where pride has gotten in the way of his walk with the Lord. He also points out though, there is a place for forgiveness in Christ and a place to come to namely knowing all we have and are depends on the work Jesus did for us on the Cross.

There is wonderful news pointed out in the book and that is even though we as humans do deal with pride and it even got great people of faith in trouble at times in the bible, God still used them to accomplish His work on the earth. He can also use us, but we must turn all things over to Him so as He can use it. The book has many, many examples of how we get in pride and get twisted up by it at times. I believe this book would help everyone that was to read it. I have read it twice and gained much both times.
