Description: Be Transformed by Christ's Example "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." - 1 Peter 5:5 A battle rages within every one of us every day. It's the clash between our sense of stubborn self-sufficiency and God's call to recognize that we're really nothing without Him. It's pride versus humility. And it's a fight we can't win without looking repeatedly to Christ and the cross. C. J. Mahaney raises a battle cry to daily, diligently, and deliberately weaken our greatest enemy (pride) and cultivate our greatest friend (humility). His thorough examination clarifies misconceptions, revealing the truth about why God detests pride and turns His active attention to the humble. Because pride is never passive, defeating it demands an intentional attack. The blessing that follows is God's abundant favor.

"C.J. Mahaney is not humble. At least, that's what he'll tell you. And that's one reason he's so well qualified to write this book" - Mark E. Dever, Senior Pastor, Capital Hill Baptist Church.

"A much needed wake-up call on this important subject. I highly recommend this book."
- Jerry Bridges, Author of Pursuirt of Holiness

"This is the right book from the right man at the right time."
- R. Albert Mohler Jr.
