Book Hero thinking about your next read

In our celebrity-obsessed culture, humility is unfashionable and too often dismissed or confused with the cringing, false humility of Uriah Heep. This title shows that when genuine humility is energised by real passion, fresh and exciting light is shone on the challenge of following Jesus Christ and humility is rediscovered as a healthy virtue.

The rediscovery of genuine, passionate humility as a healthy, life-giving and community-building virtue, capable of transforming our BSE (Blame Someone Else) society.
