    About this audiobook

    What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart?

    This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He's not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep rooted, life altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to 'make it', the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self forgetfulness.

    In this short and punchy book, best selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self-hating person or a self-loving person, but a self-forgetful person.

    This freedom can be yours...

      Simple and clear. Loved it, praying that I can always believe it and live it.
    • 5/5
      What a great book! It's only 54 minutes long. A very short read, but a great look at not being consumed by what others think, but only being concerned about what God thinks. Live your life to glorify Him alone!

      Wonderful book for self-flection on overcoming ego and learning Christian humility. And short! I’ll be listening the the audiobook version repeatedly for a couple weeks
