Humility
First published in 1884, ‘Humility’ is a classic book on the trait of holiness by Andrew Murray, a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Humility is the most neglected teaching of Jesus Christ. In this book, Andrew Murray explores how vital humility is to the understanding and practice of Christianity. This is perhaps the best book ever written on the subject. In this work, Andrew Murray explains the self-sacrifice and perfect humility of Jesus Christ. Murray highlights the need to not just admire this quality but also strive to impersonate it. To live one’s life as a servant is the call and necessity of every Christian. Humility and the denial of one’s self are shown here to be truly essential to the Christian life and to all who claim to follow Jesus. It remains a popular source of motivation over 100 years after its first publication. "Here is the path to the higher life: down, lower down! Just as water always seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds men abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless." — Andrew Murray (Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness)

About the Author
Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be "the chief end of the church." Andrew pastored churches in Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town and Wellington, all in South Africa. He was a champion of the South African Revival of 1860. In 1889, he was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM), along with Martha Osborn and Spencer Walton. After Martha Osborn married George Howe, they formed the South East Africa General Mission (SEAGM) in 1891. SAGM and SEAGM merged in 1894. Because its ministry had spread into other African countries, the mission's name was changed to Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965. AEF joined with SIM in 1998 and continues to this day. He died on January 18, 1917, four months before his eighty-ninth birthday. Over the years he has influenced many, including Jessie Penn-Lewis, a key figure in the 1904-1905 Welsh Revival.
