Humility: The Beauty of Holiness contains 12 studies on humility, a trait that Andrew Murray thinks should be the distinguishing feature of the discipleship of Christ. “When we see that humility is something infinitely deeper than contrition, and accept it as our participation in the life of Jesus, we shall begin to learn that it is our true nobility, and that to prove it in being servants of all is the highest fulfillment of our destiny, as men created in the image of God.”
