Humildade

by C. Peter Wagner

Com mais de 60 livros escritos, Peter Wagner ousa ao tratar de um assunto que poucos têm coragem de HUMILDADE. Não é de hoje que o homem deseja alcançar um lugar de destaque. Revistas, jornais e, principalmente, a enorme procura pelos livros de auto-ajuda comprovam que o ser humano está à procura de seu “lugar ao sol”. O que prevalece nessa procura é a auto-realização. Na mesma direção, seguem muitos cristãos. Não só querendo um destaque na vida profissional ou financeira, mas também buscando desenvolver um “crescimento ministerial” que promova sua auto-imagem. O chamado à HUMILDADE é um alerta, e um desafio, feito por Aquele que conhece a natureza e as tendências do coração humano. O chamado à HUMILDADE é destinado àqueles que compreenderam que o alvo da vida cristã é nos tornarmos parecidos com Cristo. Peter Wagner aponta o caminho para alcançar a HUMILDADE. Segundo o autor, trilhar esse caminho é uma questão de escolha própria. Para isso, é preciso conhecer o que é HUMILDADE e saber qual é o seu principal o orgulho. A trajetória não será fácil, mas levará você ao melhor lugar que precisa estar – a presença de Jesus. A estrada da HUMILDADE é por onde todo cristão deve caminhar e assim alcançar o seu lugar de destaque. Não no reino dos homens, mas no Reino de Deus. Pois todo aquele que a si mesmo se exaltar será humilhado, e todo aquele que a si mesmo se humilhar será exaltado. – Mateus 23,12 C. PETER WAGNER Escritor renomado e autor de livros sobre vários assuntos, incluindo missões, crescimento da Igreja, oração, batalha espiritual e ministérios apostólicos. É representante do Instituto Wagner de Liderança e presidente do Ministério Colheita Global, ambos localizados em Colorado Springs, EUA.

Humility is the “Queen of Virtues” but it’s not very often talked about. People are weird about the whole idea, as if by discussing humility, a person loses their ability to be humble. Anyway, last year I brushed up against the concept of humility as the “queen of virtue” a couple times, so I decided to dig deeper into the whole idea. This book was helpful! I can’t say every chapter was worth reading, but the ones that were made the whole book worth reading.

Insightful and full Godly Wisdom

Revealed hidden pride in myself. Caused me to examine my position and opinions on matters and how I posture as a Christian. Especially the chapters on adversity. Implementing the truths revealed in this book will cause growth and improvement in relationships.

Insightful & Practical

Great book which helps frame pride, to include diagnosing many symptoms and roots. Loved the journal questions, which could stimulate conversation and probe.

Definitely encouraged to pick up Andrew Murray’s book, which this pointed to frequently.

Mr. Wagner, thank you for this book. It laid out great points and detailed things to be on the look out for. I can certainly see myself reading this regularly to keep my humility in check.
