“Whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted”
(Matthew 23 : 12)
This is the key text for a short book which packs a powerful punch. The title and the words of Jesus explain everything about one of the universal, spiritual laws governing human behaviour.
Derek Prince held a Fellowship in Ancient and Modern Philosophy at King’s College, Cambridge and, following a dramatic conversion experience during World War 2, began to study the bible in depth. Since then, many years’ experience of studying and teaching Biblical truth has enabled him to write many books on a wide range of topics relating to the Christian faith and its practice. Derek himself claimed not to be a theologian but a simple Bible teacher.
The three parts to this slim volume deal with the law of pride and humility, prime examples of pride and humility and humility and exaltation.
With copious examples from Scripture there is ample scope for learning and encouragement to avoid the vice and practise the virtue.
