Publisher's Synopsis
"The church in the US is surrounded by a competitive, polarized, and status-driven society, and too often Christians embrace these patterns. Instead, to connect with those God has called us to serve, we must be open, honest, vulnerable, approachable, and generally unafraid of listening rather than talking. Humility allows us to have a posture that invites rather than repels. Edwards traces the trajectory of humility as a way of life throughout Scripture, considering the role of humility in Christian community, conflict, leadership, suffering, worship, and stewardship. As we learn from and honor the humble instead of constantly seeking power, humility actually empowers followers of Jesus, even those whom society marginalizes or alienates"--.
