The Humility Project for Men: The Way to Strength, Honor, and Contentment

by Edward T. Welch

Edward T. Welch invites men on a 42-day biblical journey to explore the transformative power of humility for their lives, faith, and relationships.

Humility might seem like the way of doormats and punching bags, but in reality, it is the path of a resilient, bold, sturdy, strong, even-tempered, and confident Christian. In these devotions, men will explore how to build lives that no longer need to teeter on fragile egos, but rest on something much firmer—the God who came to earth as the humble servant Jesus—our model and the source of humility.

The Humility Project for Men begins with examining humility before God, teaching readers to aspire to and enjoy this calling from God. It then transitions to practicing humility before others, offering practical guidance on listening, forgiving, showing compassion, and building unity. With concise daily readings and relatable examples, this book is ideal for individuals or groups seeking a structured yet flexible devotional experience.

Highlights how humility leads to deeper relationships, a renewed sense of purpose, and freedom from pride, making it a powerful tool for personal and spiritual growth.Each day includes prompts to circle, reflect, pray, and talk, encouraging readers to integrate humility into their daily lives.The Humility Project for Men Study Guide is also available to help readers put the devotional into practice.

Reviews

[Trevor]

Very helpful book during this lent season with a couple guys. It does make some very challenging and direct statements. But with men, I find it’s sometimes helpful to do so to engage our pride rightly.

It also gives great and practical biblical guidance to humility in many areas of our life.

[Frank Peters]

This is a well-designed devotional book, aimed at men. The style, content and length of each day’s readings will accommodate the vast majority of men, which seems like a wise choice. Since I tend to read a lot, I found the book more simplistic than I might have liked, but understand that I shouldn’t be the target audience.

Would read again

[Evan Lis]

Such an amazing journey of refocusing and rediscovering true humility as God intended men to live out.

[Johnny Schat]

Hard, worthwhile reflection and examination. I would highly recommend for a men’s study, or for personal devotions.
