This book examines one of life¿s greatest paradox - that strength is found in humility. The problem is, humility does not come naturally to us. Pride is ingrained in our very being as we seek to prove to the world that our lives matter. We want to stand out in the crowd. Very few want to be completely out of the limelight with a sense that his or her life is not important.One of the most important truths I have learned is that we are responsible for seeking a humble life and cultivating a humble heart. We must therefore realize that humility is a choice that we must first make, and then pursue.

I WAS FIRST introduced to best-selling author Richard E. Simmons III by meansof reading two of his books given to me by a close friend. I eventually met Richardand began attending his Bible study sessions at The Center for Executive Leadership,which he founded in 2002.I continued to read his books and, after reading The Power of a Humble Life, feltstrongly compelled to write my own personal responses to his questions in Chapter1. At that point, I met with Richard, and he accepted my offer to write a StudyGuide for the entire book.In your hands, you have a Study Guide that has been carefully designed withchapter references matched to the text in the book. Generous amounts of space areprovided for you to write your own personal history and responses. My experiencein reading the book revealed many examples of the dominance of pride in our cul-ture and in my own thinking.God's desire for us, His children, is to grow in knowledge, yes, but more so, toapply that knowledge. In this application, we change, we grow, and we also giveHim glory. We've prepared this study guide with this in mind and pray you will beblessed in knowledge and godly application of that knowledge.

Written in the same style as his Jealousy—the Sin No One Talks About, Kendall tackles the problem of pride, bringing out into the open the challenges a majority of people face in overcoming the pride and self-righteousness that were introduced to mankind by the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

Humility, or holding power loosely for the sake of others, is sorely lacking in today’s world. Without it, many people fail to develop their true leadership potential and miss out on genuine fulfillment in their lives and their relationships. Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, and Leadership shows how the virtue of humility can turn your strengths into true greatness in all areas of life. Through the lessons of history, business, and the social sciences, author John Dickson shows that humility is not low self-esteem, groveling, or losing our distinct gifts. Instead, humility both recognizes our inherent worth and seeks to use whatever power we have at our disposal on behalf of others. Some of the world’s most inspiring and influential players have been people of immense humility. The more we learn about humility, the more we understand how essential it is to a satisfying career and personal life. By embracing this virtue, we will transform for good the unique contributions we each make to the world.

How does humility feature as a part of human experience, and how can opportunities to decenter the self empower us through present day circumstances? Radical Humility is a collection of essays written by people attempting to be humble at a time when public humility is scarce. Contributors come from a diverse group of experts, activists, makers, scholars, and practitioners: philosophers, psychologists, artists; a librarian, a farmer, a lawyer, a U.S. Navy Captain, and others who've reflected upon the role of humility. Some are leading scholars in their field; others are as-yet unpublished writers. All--the farmer, the librarian, the journalist, the sailor--speak to the ordinary everyday actions that offer significant opportunity for restraint and reflection to empower us personally and politically. For every person who feels uneasy and diminished after subjecting the most intimate parts of their lives to Likes and Followers, and for every person who is uneasy with presidential boasting and disregard for truth, Radical Humility's writers' perspectives are crucial at this turning point in our personal and political lives.
