Author Nick Thompson recognizes that pride is our worst enemy. If pride is our chief foe, then humility is our chief friend, even though its company may be painful. But spiritual growth is a descent--we must grow downward. Defining humility as "the downward disposition of a Godward self-perception," Thompson walks us through the practical implications of this definition, leading us to embrace a God-centered perspective on the self.
