Showing results by narrator "Richard Foster" in Religion & Spirituality

In a society where raging narcissism dominates the moral landscape, the virtue of humility is often dismissed as irrelevant. Not only is humility vanishing from contemporary culture, but we are also witnessing how destructive a lack of humility has become among our churches and ministry leaders.

For this reason he decided to spend a year studying the virtue of humility.

So I decided to ask God about it.
