Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness

This short classic by Andrew Murray has forever changed my perception of humility. Rather than viewing humility from a perspective of self-deprecation or self-abasement, Murray opens the doors to a view of humility as "unceasing, absolute dependence on God." Murray also secures the bond between humility and holiness: "The one infallible test of our holiness will be our humility before God and others. Humility is the bloom and the beauty of holiness."

I recommend this book as essential for anyone pursuing a vital relationship with Jesus. I have referred to it often in my own spiritual journey as well as quoting from it in preaching.
