Love this little book. When you start reading you won't be able to put it down.

This short well presented little book is only 44 pages long, so more a short contemplation piece than a full book, however the issues it deals with and raises in those few short pages are actually really very deep. Based around 1 Corinthians 3:21-4:7, Paul's dressing down to the Corinthians about whose followers they profess to be, this book addresses such issues as pride, self-worth, how we define ourselves and how we promote ourselves and others. Therefore all the big ego issues are here - ones especially rife in our modern society of building up self-worth and high self-esteem - and Keller in turn, using Paul’s teachings, tries to break those down, bringing us to the realisation that true humility is to let go of these things and in turn relinquish ourselves over to God and in turn through this we gain true freedom and true joy. It’s a book that many of us probably need to read, especially those perhaps trapped on a ladder of modern expectations, be that expectations of career growth, family designs or even ministry development.
