About this listen

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...

A brilliant and pithy journey into the rare world of self-forgetfulness. This concept is seldom dwelt upon by teachers today. Tim Keller at his incisive best.

Very short but very powerful.

Good simple book with a short address on the often neglected topic of Pride and Ego, challenging the cultural view on self-esteem.

Timothy uncovers some of the most uncomfortable truths, using God's word to guide the believer to a deeper knowledge of their own need to take a penetrating look at the way pride and boasting influence our every motive and action.
