REVIEW: The Blessings of Humility

I was given this book from Tyndale Blog Network in exchange for an honest appraisal of the work.

Somewhere along the way I lost my copy. Therefore I decided to piece together what I could from others reviews. Here's what I found:

From Amazon.com reviews:

This book is helpful for Christians at any point in their life, although it was especially appropriate for me when I read it these past few weeks. Some events have had potential to leave me feel shaken, but my continual prayer, family support, and reading this book helped me see life through hopeful, more Godly eyes!

I cannot imagine a more appropriate author to write a book on humility than Jerry Bridges. He has written some of the most influential and widely-received books in Christian publishing, each with a trademark Bridges style--a deeply practical style, saturated in the Gospel, and consistently humble. The Blessing of Humility (2016, Navpress) does not disappoint.
-Dr Jason Kanz

This is understandable, of course, even if it is not excusable. It is difficult to teach with confidence and authority in an area where the teacher is so aware of his failings and shortcomings. And yet humility is the king of virtues and one every Christian must pursue. At some point every teacher or preacher owes it to himself and his students or congregation to research, teach, and full-out pursue it.
-Tim Challies

In conclusion, it sounds like a great read. I hope I find my copy somewhere.
