Barefoot Disciple: Walking the Way of Passionate Humility

Abstract

If it’s true that humility is necessarily something that happens in youwhen you’re not looking, howon earth dowe think about it, let alone make the sort of decisions that might help us grow into it? StephenCherry’s book is a gently effective clearing of the ground. He guides us carefully through the minefields of defin-ition – positive and negative varieties of pride, humility and the varieties of humiliation, humility and modesty, false and true . . .And above all, he clarifies the intenselycreativecharacter of humility when it is, in his terms, ‘passionate’, that is bravely self-confident because self-forgetting.
