Humility by Dane C. Ortlund

This concise, pastoral work argues that true lowliness is not self-hatred but the Spirit-born joy of forgetting self by fixing the heart on Christ’s gentleness. Rooted in Scripture and practical counsel—receiving criticism, serving unseen, embracing weakness—it shows how grace, not grit, forms a quiet, other-centered life. Readers are led into a downward path that frees them from ego, deepens worship, and produces durable love in ordinary, hidden places.
