Unfortunately I was not impressed enough by this book to get very far into it. It came across as a simple weekly diary in which certain events remind him of others' musings on humility, but it's up to the reader to look up those works. There was little introspection on humility. If I were willing and able to do the research, maybe I would have benefited from this.Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I enjoyed this simple book from Richard Foster. Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, he reflects on the virtue of Christian humility. He reflects on some hard history of how the American Government handled our relationship with the Lakota people. Richard Foster provides reflections and insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Christian sources. He includes early church writers and modern day writers as he reflects on Scripture. He creates something new and engaging with both the spiritual insights, experiences, and great examples of what Christian humility can look like as we encounter hard and complicated history and injustices of the past.Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. This book is a reflection of ones self on the process of learning a new habit, specifically humility and inner virtue, and how to become more like Christ. It is interesting and readable, but may not be for everyone. The themes are light hearted, but complex. You have to open your mind to the concepts of text and personal experience. Foster does an incredible job meshing the two to represent his own spiritual convictions. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
In a society where raging narcissism dominates the moral landscape, the virtue of humility is often dismissed as irrelevant. Not only is humility vanishing from contemporary culture, but we are also witnessing how destructive a lack of humility has become among our churches and ministry leaders. And yet, Richard Foster, the founder of Renovare, insists that humility is central to the journey toward character formation and spiritual transformation. For this reason he decided to spend a year studying the virtue of humility. Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, Foster provides us with a look into the insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Julian of Norwich to Scripture to personal friends. By engaging with both the spiritual classics and Foster's own experiences, Learning Humility provides profound insight into what humility can look like in our current cultural climate. Join Richard Foster on the journey toward a life of humility, which he says leads us into "freedom, joy, and holy hilarity." Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Because the book is based on intermittent journal jottings, each entry is relatively short and can be a bit choppy to read. Though it might be off putting for some, I think it works well here because such a method reflects the fits and starts of life itself as it unfolds, and the learning process Foster is engaging with as well.
Foster willingly admits his attempts to learn about humility and its practical application might be flawed yet he discovers numerous ways in which they are beneficial to his soul. The key takeaway from this brave attempt to walk in deeper humility is that it’s enhanced by the journey itself and what it reveals about ourselves, our lives, and our discipleship in Christ. 4.5* ( )
