"Humility Matters" makes the claims that humility is for a
disciple of Jesus Christ what enlightenment is for a Buddhist,
realization for a Hindu, surrender for a Muslim, and righteousness
for a Jew. It is the unmistakable character of one who has accepted
the vocation to undertake the spiritual journey. It is at the core
of our experience of life in Christ.
Meg Funk guides readers deeper into a life of humility by
following the movement of what the early Christians called the four
renunciations: to renounce our former way of life, our thoughts of
our former way of life, our self-made thoughts of God, and our
self-made thoughts of ourselves. With the help of the compelling
examples of St. Benedict, St. Teresa of Jesus, and St. Therese of
Lisieux, Funk shows the way to ongoing conversion of mind, heart,
and way of life.
